The politics of food

By Flzine

by Leigh Peele

Can you separate your body goals from the economy? Do you have to be afraid in order to do the right thing? Is there a right thing to do in the first place?

The problem when you bring up the discussions of topics like corn, pesticides, fuel, organics, etc, is that people get so caught up in their cause that they step on mine. My cause is for the use of common sense and logic for determining what is and what is not helping you to achieve your diet, training and health goals. I don’t want to make something out to be bad (that may or may not be) because of another agenda.

If you can understand that then you would be wise to start to investigate the state of fuel, food, and how it affects your lives on a economical and political level. Over the next couple of months we here at Flzine are going to cover more on that topic, but on a fair playing field.

You might enjoy this short talk from “The End Of Food” author Paul Roberts about the important of corn prices and our food supply.
