Chains that Bind
by Barbara H. Peterson | Farm Wars
We are creatures of habit. We get up at certain times, got to bed at certain times, eat certain foods, like certain things, and rarely think about the consequences of our actions. We rely on our past knowledge of what is good and healthy and nourishing to still be valid in today’s genetically engineered, pesticide soaked world.
But what if the things that we have grown up with and learned to trust have changed so dramatically that they are no longer good for us, but just appear to be?
What if the chains of habit that bind us to certain actions are merely illusion, designed to keep us coming back for more and more of the same stuff that is now killing us?
This is mass marketing, folks. And it is all around us.
The package says “natural” and “healthy” and we go for it. We bite. We take the bait like fish in a tank and end up floating belly up with no one to blame but ourselves.
