Without some strong grass roots effort the recent large agribusiness acquisitions of small organic farms is pushing to erode standards to keep their profits ever growing at the expense of anything truly being organic! they already have people politically placed on the NOSB board that are already affecting the outcomes of measures voted on. ie allowing synthetic materials in organic’s
It seems Americans are not supposed to get healthy food from anywhere, while continuing to have the illusion they can.
excerpts:
1.Previously, any exemptions from organic standards were set to expire, or “sunset,” on a specific date—unless they were reinstated by a “decisive” two-thirds majority vote of the NOSB. Now it’s just the reverse: a synthetic material can be permitted to remain in an organic food indefinitely unless a two-thirds majority votes to remove it from the exempted list.
2.The Cornucopia Institute said the NOSB is being stripped of its authority so that the USDA can set its own agenda—a naked power grab. Cornucopia is looking at legal action over this change in terminology.

As the health of the population plummets, Big Pharma’s health skyrockets!
Being as profitable as banks, it must cause one to ponder, are they really making people healthier?
With more money used to advertise than to develop new therapies, we begin to see their priorities.
At least as GMO’s and pesticides cause disease they are keeping up with the medications needed to treat the induced diseases.
As BigPharma feels under regulatory threat potential more by the year, watch them to move to liability free vaccines. They are approved and purchased by governments then pushed on the unsuspecting populace. They will work hand in hand with government to protect their margins.
A true business plan that is working well for them, and their partners in industry.
It could be a model for government, but wait, haven’t they become the government?

Almost 170 million dollars in grants is going to turn Big Pharma loose on school kids, using money obtained from the citizenry, to reap increased social control and massive Rx profits.
Would anyone be surprised to know SSRI antidepressants only work on a little over 50% of depressive cases, and in some cases these drugs create epigenetic imbalance’s leading to suicidal ideation, and homicidal behavior. If tested prior to prescribing, a practitioner with epigenetic understanding would easily tell which patients to not use SSRI’s on, and subsequently prevent this behavior. This would prevent societal violence issues of the past, however it would cost Big Pharma tremendously. Almost 1/2 of all patients on SSRI’s would not longer qualify for them, due to testing. Additionally nutrition could be used for many to correct their brain chemistry without any medication. This could be a threat to 30% of the long term drug market.
If only we could move as a society towards testing for the type of depression. We could then use epigenetic’s and nutrition to allow these individual’s a normal non-depressed, drug free and aware, life. There are very good findings showing this approach consistently works!
Unfortunately, I doubt this will never be allowed by Big Pharma and the government. The losses would be too great vs increased profits from the artificial imbalances creating more need for drugs and medical care.
Tragically, our children have now become the new targets for the growth of their business profits. For all the great sounding political speak, it translates to we are going to require the use of more and more drugs and/or confinement on school children. What message does this send to coming generations?

Interesting take from a country that has much healthier food than we do.

And now we see why we had to have national health care without competitive bidding by Big Pharma. Quite handsome, to obscene, profits!
Had natural alternative therapies, that promote health, been tried first, the lack of complications from side effects would not have generated ongoing, long term profit growth.
This means any alternative therapies that work well, yet do not generate these kind of profits for the right people will be discouraged, and discredited through disinformation using the MSM, ultimately being eliminated in any way possible.
Poor health in growing numbers within the population has to be created to keep the profits growing. With over 50% of all men women and children with chronic disease, I would say their model is working well for them. The population appears to be completely unaware, as they run to Big Pharma drugs at the first sign of illness, inculding vaccines.
**Statistic of the Week: Proving that US corporations are robbing Americans blind for medical care, a French study compared the costs of the same drugs and services from country to country. Nexium ‘the little purple pill’ is the second-best selling prescription drug in the US. It’s made by AstraZeneca, a British-Swedish biopharma corporation. Here’s what citizens of varying countries are charged for the exact same prescription: Netherlands – $23, England – $42, Spain – $58, Switzerland – $60, United States – $215. If the US paid what the Netherlands paid for Nexium, Americans would have spent $663 million on the drug in 2013 rather than the $6.2 billion they did for no reason. – From ‘Healthcare Costs by Country show Americans robbed blind’.
