"Where do all these pesticides that have destroyed our life giving soil and are creating a fragile food system which is gonna create a food crisis at some point? Nazi Germany. Hitler was developing chemicals of war and trying to create agriculture solutions to create more food yields for Germany. Some of these pesticides, these organophosphate chemicals were turned directly into sprays that we're putting on all of our food. The interrelationship between Nazi Germany and what's being sprayed on every piece of food in the US is deeply linked and we need to think about that.
This is being federally subsidized by the government through the farm bills...the farm bills are making all these unhealthy foods cheaper. They federally subsidize commodity crops which are turned into processed food. So this is the corn, the soy, the wheat, making these foods artificially cheaper...
It is much harder as a poor American to buy food that is not poisoned because our government is making the poisoned food cheaper...It's not a free market at work, it's rigged against poor people..."
