The New American Diet -
The one without bug poisons and weed poisons and meat poisons.
We already grow enough food to nourish the nine billion people estimated to be here in a few years, for we eat only about one third of those crops. The rest goes to feeding animals for food, most of that to beef. Monsanto’s lie about not being able to produce enough food to feed the world without biotech is one of the flimsiest of all lies yet that lie is being received as the truth by a gullible press, politicians and populace alike.
Please stop eating Grain-Fed Beef – that will hit the subsidized corn producers where it hurts, and at the same time take away revenue from Monsanto. Genetically Modified Grain-fed beef is produced in Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO’s) and is laden with Antibiotics and Hormones the source of many illnesses that our children and their parents are suffering from today.
Figure this one out: We are the FATTEST nation on earth. Type 2 Diabetes is an epidemic, and yet your congress is awarding $3Billion of your tax dollars to corn production! Look at the labels on your grocery shelf: High Fructose Corn Syrup – Soy Protein Isolates. The corn and the soy grown by being drenched with glyphosates and other eco-poisons. You are a Frog in the slowly heating water and your health is in serious decline if you are eating Genetically Modified ingredients in your foods.
Don’t you really think that someone as proud of their achievements as the BioTech biggies would be happy to put their label on their product? Wonder why they don’t do that? Seems fair to me, how about you?
Find Grass-Fed beef in your home area, and cut down your beef consumption for greater health, a four to six ounce portion of beef along with vegetables and whole grains will lead to a healthier you. Eat half or more of your meals without meat.
Ethanol from corn is another huge waste of a food crop. The poor in developing countries can live for a year on what it takes to fill one American SUV with ethanol fuel. Ethanol from Corn is not energy policy, it is Money Policy, one that benefits a select few to the detriment of all Americans.
Yours, and my tax dollars are being passed along gratuitously to Corn and Soybean farmers and thus to Monsanto by the billions of dollars each year. Monsanto cycles a large part of that money back to politicians who serve as their marketing arm here and abroad. Demand a stop to this senseless subsidy of crops that we have too much of already, that has led to rampant corruption of our government and lack of choice for Americans at the grocery stores.
And, demand a stop to placing Monsanto’s and other Corporation’s executives in government positions of making rules and regulations that benefit their corporate masters. This is a BIG one. From the Supreme Court, to Congress to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, to U.S. Department of State, to the USDA, to the FDA.
Too much power in too few hands, all of which are palms up, waiting for their share of your loot, your health and your welfare be damned.
How long shall we tolerate these crimes against the American populace? A peaceful revolution is in order. If not now, When?
Revolutions take time to develop, and one day a critical mass is reached with the American people, a flash point happens that awakens us and ignites a fury strong enough to rid ourselves of corporate thuggery. The clock is ticking and the steam is building up! Stay the course and stay engaged.
Authors note: It is rumored that Monsanto has Private Investigators and Enforcers to play some bad things on people who speak out too loudly the truth about their products and their methods. So if something untoward happens to me in the near future – please see if there was criminal intervention by these afore mentioned corporate gangsters and corrupt politicians.
Just one generation back America’s top 1% of earners got 9% of total national income, today they control 23+% - much of that 14% gain going to corrupted politicians, judges and regulators to complete a corporate coup d’état of our nation. That should fire you up!
Take action! Raise some hell, call your President, write to your Senator, email your Congressman, post to your local Newspaper.
Act and React for the right to know what is in your food.
Label GMO’s, that is our right to know and choose and it is now our demand!

Open Letter to America
An Open Letter to America:
I am very angry at President Obama and his deputies for bowing down and paying fealty to Monsanto. Please indulge me just a bit and allow me to tell you a little of why I say this.
We do not need genetically modified alfalfa, 93% of it is grown without herbicides anyway, so we really don’t need to buy millions of pounds of glyphosate to spray onto our soils in order to produce GM-alfalfa. Glyphosate kills the micro-biology in the soil. And without living soil we cannot produce living food. This same glyphosate doesn’t kill 100% of the weeds, a few survive, and their seeds select for resistance to or immunity to glyphosate and so we then have what is known as Super-Weeds, which in turn needs a stronger dose of chemicals. Thus the fight is enjoined, and so please remember this truth, “Mother Nature always bats last.”
What you have here is not farm policy, it is money policy. Monsanto has a patent on life itself, something that I find egregiously wrong politically, ethically and morally in itself.
It is now entirely possible that Monsanto could own all of the seeds needed to produce all of the major food crops all over the world in just a generation or two, since we now have an aspiring global economy and a quasi global governance that tries to control global trade. It is also conceivable under the document, long proposed by that International Body, known as Codex Alimentarius, that I as an American citizen-farmer would have to respond to an international body of arbiters over a dispute with my American farm products, completely bypassing my constitutional right to due process. And a common farmer in India or China or Mexico will have to borrow money to pay Monsanto for his seeds, or he or she will die and his family with him or her.
Our very own elected members of the U.S. House of Representatives are “…worried that our products will be rejected by the EU and Asia if we brand them as Genetically Modified.” - paraphrased from numerous public accounts. The name of the game is unfettered greed for both money and power, international.
Now imagine thirty years down the road, all of you who may have drinked of Monsanto’s cool-aid pseudo-science publications which absolutely assure you that if we, all of America, do not buy their Genetically Modified seeds, and then the Chemicals needed to allow them to grow, then we could positively not produce enough food to feed nine or ten billion people. I am surprised that more intelligent people have not questioned that assumption more closely. I am ready to challenge this as propaganda at best and a blatant lie at worst.
Alexis de Touqville deduced that democracy carries the seed of its own destruction. An example of this at work is; Politicians meet the ‘Citizens United’ decision of our tarnished U.S. Supreme Court, won against a very weak foe, in the Federal Election Commission. Thanks to this court decision, Monsanto, who now has first amendment rights as an “individual” of ‘free speech’, and they are doing the speaking with their new Money – which this court has equated with talking or writing in the public square. Instead, Monsanto gives our Senators and Representatives and President and many others the monies that they have taken from you and me, to speak for them. The politicians who are speaking now understand Monsanto’s goals and approve of their practices. Now the “freedom of speech” – written by corporate lobbyists and delivered by your elected official - is in making of laws and rules and regulations that promote Monsanto’s best interests. The rest of the populace has to live with the results – farmers, producers, consumers, all of us – with whatever foods are left, grown in dead soils that are mere placeholders for the chemically grown plants. Our United States government has been corrupted by this blatant in-our-face corporatocracy.
Living soil has an energy that is an integral and essential part of the cycle producing grasses that grow with energy from the Sun and rains. All life is grass. Grass in living soil reaches down deep into the Earth and draws to itself micro-nutrients that we try desperately to mimic with pills and chemicals – can’t be done – Mother Nature is at bat.
Some of the people’s most trusted warriors at the forefront of this battle, Whole Foods Market, Stonyfield Dairies and Organic Valley, fought until they were battered and then with last breath wrested a compromise from the USDA and Secretary Vilsak, to “Co-Exist.” That is to grant Monsanto their right to plant Genetically Modified Alfalfa, but with some restrictions that would allow the rest of us some assurance that we could grow the kind of food crops that didn’t include Monsanto’s seeds or chemicals. Hubris, meet greed; that was not enough for an emboldened Monsanto.
They not only wanted their rights, they demanded and got mine too. I am calling on every man, woman and child in America to rise up and demand a stop to this injustice foisted upon us by an ever increasingly corrupt federal government – tainted beyond democracy by corporatocracy.
My deepest desire is that this letter go ‘viral’ and that it is read by millions of people, who like the brave peoples in other countries who are in revolt against unfair governance, that we too revolt against this Corporate-Political hegemon, and demand, by whatever peaceful means necessary our Constitutional right to grow our own food with our own seeds in healthy soil.

God bless the American commonweal, your family and mine,

Open Letter to President Obama - Stop Genetically Modified Alfalfa
President Obama and First Lady Michelle -
I am a small family farmer who wholeheartedly supported your election as my president.
I would like to continue my support, but, I cannot do so in light of your capitulation to Monsanto in allowing Genetically Modified Alfalfa to be grown in America.
First of all this is a totally unnecessary crop, since according to Michael Pollan 93% of all Alfalfa is grown without herbicides anyway, so this only benefits Monsanto while putting at dire risk an entire segment of our national farming and food economy.
By your caving in to Monsanto's demands you are putting at great and unneeded risk the organic dairy business, also the total extinction of Alfalfa other than Monsanto's patented GM-Alfalfa. And who exactly benefits from all of this, sir?
You have appointed far too many Monsanto executives in your administration and they are making rules that affect millions of us who are feeling increasingly distraught, helpless and angry at being controlled by one huge corporation with enough clout to determine the farm and environmental policy of your administration.
Mr. Vilsak, a biotech governor and supporter seemingly tried to meet all of us small farmers half way in placing planting restrictions of Monsanto's GE-Alfalfa, but your administration embarrassed him and make him back down from his earlier decision - that sir, is totally unacceptable to millions of us - not just GMO opponents, but any sensible, freedom loving middle class American who detests being unfairly controlled by those with the levers of power at the federal level.
I am personally calling on you to show us your mettle and your common sense to help the common men and women who elected you as our president and stop the USDA approval of Monsanto's Genetically Modified Alfalfa at once!
By doing this you not only restore the loyalty of millions of us to your ideals, hopes and dreams – you also assure the success of Michelle’s garden in your backyard, and you assure your children’s right to choose the kind of food they choose to eat for generations to come.
This is an historical decision Mr. President, please do the right thing – Stop Genetically Modified Alfalfa.
Respectfully submitted,
Jerry Cunningham

Monsanto's GMO Corn Linked To Organ Failure, Study Reveals
The following article appeared in the Huffington Post on January 13,2010.
We have always been very much against eating GMO produced foods. Please read this carefully and make up your own mind about whether or not you want to feed GMO foods to your family.
We know that our Pastured Organic Eggs cost a bit more - but consider the hidden costs of eating regular eggs!
Thank you for your support of our farm products,
Jeremiah
_____________________________________
In a study released by the International Journal of Biological Sciences, analyzing the effects of genetically modified foods on mammalian health, researchers found that agricultural giant Monsanto's GM corn is linked to organ damage in rats.
According to the study, which was summarized by Adam Shake at Twilight Earth, "Three varieties of Monsanto's GM corn - Mon 863, insecticide-producing Mon 810, and Roundup® herbicide-absorbing NK 603 - were approved for consumption by US, European and several other national food safety authorities."
Monsanto gathered its own crude statistical data after conducting a 90-day study, even though chronic problems can rarely be found after 90 days, and concluded that the corn was safe for consumption. The stamp of approval may have been premature, however.
In the conclusion of the IJBS study, researchers wrote:
"Effects were mostly concentrated in kidney and liver function, the two major diet detoxification organs, but in detail differed with each GM type. In addition, some effects on heart, adrenal, spleen and blood cells were also frequently noted. As there normally exists sex differences in liver and kidney metabolism, the highly statistically significant disturbances in the function of these organs, seen between male and female rats, cannot be dismissed as biologically insignificant as has been proposed by others. We therefore conclude that our data strongly suggests that these GM maize varieties induce a state of hepatorenal toxicity....These substances have never before been an integral part of the human or animal diet and therefore their health consequences for those who consume them, especially over long time periods are currently unknown."
Monsanto has immediately responded to the study, stating that the research is "based on faulty analytical methods and reasoning and do not call into question the safety findings for these products."
The IJBS study's author Gilles-Eric Séralini responded to the Monsanto statement on the blog, Food Freedom, "Our study contradicts Monsanto conclusions because Monsanto systematically neglects significant health effects in mammals that are different in males and females eating GMOs, or not proportional to the dose. This is a very serious mistake, dramatic for public health. This is the major conclusion revealed by our work, the only careful reanalysis of Monsanto crude statistical data."

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year 2010 to all our loyal customers!
We continue to improve our soil and our grasses by ammending our pastures with organic compost tea, and then by feeding the natural biology (which we call our micro-herd) with two annual sprayings of HYDROLYSISED FISH, for nitrogen - HUMIC ACID, to feed the fungi, and MOLASSES, to feed the bacterii.
This is a very expensive regimen, and we think it is worth the expense because or our dedication to nutrient dense food, and to producing the very best eggs possible. That is why you buy our eggs, and we are conscious of your desire for an ethical egg.
Some producers of "pastured organic eggs" adhere to the letter of the law, but totally ignore the true spirit of organic standards in the name of profit from the "organic" brand. This saddens me, but that is life in the year 2010. Bankers, Wall Street, you know the names of the profiteers. Be careful of labels on eggs, they are very opaque and do not tell the true story of what is inside the carton that you purchase for your family. The USDA Organic Seal can and is, misused and abused.
Ask, where were these eggs produced, has the soil been independently tested, have there been tissue samples of the grassed sampled and tested?
Can you see an analysis of the nutrients of the "pastured organic eggs" offered for sale? You can see ours at Mother Earth website - www.motherearthnews.com
Our supply of eggs lasts in Whole Foods Market for about four days, they are stocked on Friday and are sold out by Sunday or Monday, this is because we produce all our own eggs on our little 90 acre organic farm in Elgin, Texas, we do not broker eggs from other farms over which we have no control.
Thank you once again for choosing to purchase the eggs that we lovingly and carefully produce for your familys health and well being.

The Incredible, Edible Eggheads at Coyote Creek Farm
0
Elgin’s Coyote Creek Farms can be found in bakeries, like Lauren Hubele’s Bona Dea Bread in Austin, but not in the way you might suspect. Dedicated to sustainable, organic farming, and ranching practices, coupled with the humane treatment of all farm animals, Coyote Creek Farm provides eggs, meats and more to locally owned and operated Central Texas businesses and farms.
But if you don’t live in the Elgin area, don’t fret, you can purchase the farm’s eggs exclusively at your local Whole Foods Market.
As they explain on their site, Coyote Creek’s claim of offering the “World’s Best Eggs” is not bragging, it is more of a classification. “Currently our eggs are very nutrient dense, higher in Omega-3 fatty acids and lower in cholesterol than eggs produced in confined conditions. One of the reasons that our eggs are more nutrient dense is that our organic pastures are treated with compost tea four times a year. Compost Tea, in simplest terms, is extracting the biology from organic compost into a water solution, multiplied with molasses, humic acid, volcanic rock, greensand and so forth. The result is a micro-herd of protozoa and nematodes that feed on the bacteria and fungi produced together in the compost tea,” says Coyote Creek farmer, Jeremiah Cunningham.
I guess the only thing missing is diatomaceous earth – sorry – just had to type one of my most favorite phrases to say. Anyway, the next time you’re shopping for eggs, so Texas. Being a farm girl myself, I can assure you that farm eggs in particular are amazing in both their flavor and color. Vibrant orange yolks and creamy texture and taste, farm eggs have no equal. And Coyote Creek’s eggs are no exception.
