“Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.” – Henry Kissinger, 1970
This is the type of future Henry Kissinger had in mind in 1970. This is not a new tactic or strategy.
Food fuels our bodies. Without the knowledge of how our bodies work we can not fully understand how food feeds our body and to what ends. Not devoting great time and study to our Biology is a disservice to humanity, the planet and all its inhabitants! Biology should be the foundation on which all else is built and integrated into. We should begin our education by counting our feet and understanding how they work. Instead we count numbers and wonder what the numbers mean. They have no meaning by themselves. Our schools must reflect such awareness if we are to climb out of this darkness we have plunged!
What is Biology? Merriam-Webster defines Biology as:
Forbes says food is The World’s Largest Business. And as those before us have known; food is the best way to control people. The ways in which our food is being controlled today is much less direct than for instance, our war to win the American west. There are no Buffalo to target this time. Now the control is much more illusive. More scientific. The human population is approaching seven billion…and everyone wants to be fed! The World Bank puts the food and agriculture sector at 10% of global gross domestic product, which, taking the bank’s 2006 estimate of about $48 trillion, would make the sector worth about $4.8 trillion.
”Governments have figures for the percentage of personal-consumption expenditures that go toward food,” says David Palmer, senior food analyst at UBS(nyse: UBS - news - people ). “But if you want not just any food, but what we call packaged food, you have to define what packaged food is. Then you start to deal with the nuances of that, and you have a near impossible task.”
This ‘impossible task’; who is responsible for undertaking the nuances of what goes into our food? The population has put its trust in governments to safeguard our food. What kind of job has been and is being done? Those in power are obsessed with procuring ‘cheap food’ for the masses. Growing food in an abundance as fast as we can, using whatever science to fertilize this obsession in order to feed an ever growing population; people are the cheapest resource of the world. Cheap food and cheap labor is the dream of the 1% controlling our world. Encouraging population growth is essential to having a constant source of expendable and renewable energy. A type of slavery that President Polk’s administration could not have imagined when they sought to win the American West!
“For most opponents, the war to win the west was a transparent attempt to extend slavery into new territories that would become new slave states, thus ensuring that the South would control Congress and the presidency into the foreseeable future.”

”In 1870, some U.S. government officials promoted the destruction of the bison herds as a way to defeat their Native American enemies, who were resisting the takeover of their lands by white settlers. One Congressman, James Throckmorton of Texas, believed that “it would be a great step forward in the civilization of the Indians and the preservation of peace on the border if there was not a buffalo in existence.” Soon, military commanders were ordering their troops to kill buffalo — not for food, but to deny Native Americans their own source of food. One general believed that buffalo hunters “did more to defeat the Indian nations in a few years than soldiers did in 50.” By 1880, the slaughter was almost over. Where millions of buffalo once roamed, only a few thousand animals remained. Soon, their numbers dwindled, with the largest wild herd — just a few hundred animals — sheltered in the isolated valleys of the newly created Yellowstone National Park.”

Food Manipulations: A Quick Fix for Humanity
On a much broader and bolder scale, our government and industry have developed manipulations to our food in order to control the people. Manipulation which have deathly affects to our Biology. Government and industry have neglected making biology the foundation of our education. Our institutions have not prepared us to understand the implications of the food manipulation by science; the masses are inflicted with an inferior education; stressing reading, writing and arithmetic without biology as there foundation and point of integration. The people of the world suffer disease and dying…and look to science for a cure! We fight not feeling good, little energy and apathy with drugs from science. We hunker down and do little to take responsibility for our condition. We chose science to develop the cures for our disease and dying; a quick fix for humanity is not what is needed.
Our bodies need a strong foundation. That foundation consists of an intricate understanding and appreciation for the geography within our bodies. When we have this understanding we learn to respect and nurture ourselves with pure and unadulterated food, we will find our bodies have the ability to heal itself. Biology should be the foundation of our education. Reading, writing and arithmetic are inclusive. Everything is connected. Understanding the geography of my body, and what purpose these intricacies have is essential to my understanding how everything is connected. All the religions I have studied requires we treat our bodies as some kind of temple. It took me, as I said 30 something years to understand this belief and/or concept. And now, 30 something years later, I can not imagine ever thinking differently. The condition of my temple determines what I can do or not do on this planet.
Nature’s Tide
The tide of our education must co-inside with the way of nature. The nature of how our body works must be the foundation of our education. Each community has to understand this as imperative to healing ourselves and the planet. Is this a difficult concept to wrap your mind around? Yes. However, once you take time to understand what it takes to optimize our body you will understand how the food we eat, the environment we live in impacts how our bodies function. Once you understand; you have the power to govern like no government or industry ever will!
Look closely at the CHANGE that is ahead for all of us; the heart and soul of what life is about, not just what it looks and smells like; new doors to how we connect are opening. ’What happens to the least of us, happens to all of us’. Me, I’m just a ‘whimsical kid’. I keeps dreaming and discovering all the beautiful possibilities. Penny Politics works! Try it on and see how it feels!
The changes needed today will go beyond much of what we have loved and coveted. We have a couple of choices when it comes to the changes we need. We can choose to leave a bright and shiny world; full of everything healthy and beautiful; or, continue chomping away at the heals of our world, leaving a sick and fearful world. This is difficult journey; making time to study before you make a purchase. The upside: You can participate in governing this planet with every penny you spend.
As long as human beings remain fragmented and continue to disregard our connection to all that is apart of this world we breed discord, fear and discontent! We must strive to understand how our body works, how to become the ‘super beings’ we are meant to be. Embrace our congregation and keep our temple clean and healthy. Understanding our innate connection and benefit to each other. This acceptance and understanding will dissolve our discord, fear and discontent; it is our responsibility to all that is apart of this world, as stewards we are obligated to insure the highest quality of life for all.
Happy trails within!
