He was 11 when I unwittingly gave him poisoned food, and he died.
For 11 years - from the day I found him at 2 weeks old & brought him back to health, Lazarus Blues was a cool animal guy - accompanied me across country a few times, was bright and sociable, & a 151 lb dog everyone who met him loved. He didn't have a mean bone in his big ol' body &, up until mid-December, was pretty darn healthy......
Until big profit and the deceitful, lyin' big businesses killed him...poisoned him.
You know, the food began coming from Menu Foods on the 3RD OF DECEMBER!!! When were we told about the recall? MARCH!!! Oh, gee, do you think that might be a bit deceitful?! A tad criminal!? Naw - after all, they're all just animals, eh?
Really? Read 'FAST FOOD NATION' - required reading in a few aware high schools. Then you'll know what your kids and you are eating as well!
Do we really believe that Big Food corporations (for example, Monsanto and their genetically modified Brave New World) really give a rat's poison about what we eat or how sick we get as long as they profit?!!!
Back to the recall: I heard on CNN News this morning that the FDA is saying that only 14 animals have died - GET REAL!!! PLEASE!!! The reported total I know of, just little ol' me, is in the 100s and climbing! What's up here?!
And why are we importing wheat or anything to do with wheat from China??!! Or anywhere else for that matter, when we have farmers here who could do it?! Do you truly believe the story about something having happened in China in some rural province - WHERE WE CAN'T POSSIBLY CHECK TO ENSURE THESE GUYS IN THE FDA/BIG HUMAN/ANIMAL FOOD BUSINESSES are telling us?!!
Sure. Right. We believe you. Yep. We'll just continue eating your crap and then wonder why we all have cancers and diabetes and more. Then we can all go to your 'stay sick' medical establishments and receive MORE PILLS FROM BIG PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATIONS - THE ULTIMATE DRUG PUSHERS OF ALL - JUST WATCH TV!!!
Am I angry? You bet.
Am I stupid? Nope.
DO YOUR RESEARCH, FOLKS!!! DO...YOUR...OWN...RESEARCH...PLEASE!!!
There's a very old expression: Buy locally, think globally. It works. Here in my state, there are plenty of local farmers, Co-ops, even folks who grow organic beef, chicken & pig (you know, the kind of farmers who don't push downed or diseased or infected animals through the process to our tables because - hey, they're just stupid CONSUMERS - what will they know?!) Buy from the local folks.
Let me repeat that: BUY FROM THE LOCAL FOLKS!!! Go visit them. Take the time. It could mean your life, your children's lives, and & lives of your pets.
One more thing for this post:
STOP BEING ONLY CONSUMERS - that's the way we are seen!
START BEING CITIZENS AGAIN - FULL ON AWARE CITIZENS WHO DO THEIR RESEARCH...KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
Do you really believe that Reality Shows and all the rest of the cah-cah on TV are not intended to dumb us down?! Oh, please.
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH...THINK...THEN ACT...OR SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD AND EAT WHAT IS GIVEN YOU...
EVER HEARD OF 'SOYLENT GREEN'? Yum.
