food TECHNOLOGIES

From Blogger Pictures

Although striving to promote the positive, often hilarious beauty that is technology, JACKSONITE TECHNOLOGIES in no way supports modern food technologies. There are a few food technologies we support: forks and knives (but not spoons, liquids should be drunk), jars, bottles and barrels for canning and fermenting vegetables and spirituous beverages, plates, bowls, can openers, the boiling process over fire and gravy boats. These technologies help humans deal with food shortage and the general malaise, oftentimes created by and treated with alcohol.
There is, sadly, a large community of powerful, wealthy people who make bitchloads of money by coming up with new ways of streamlining the delivery of calories into your stomach. These people are smart and motivated. They are smarter and more motivated than many of you. But they also come up with many ideas that are not very nutritious. Some of these ideas are actually unhealthy.
The INTERNET is a very powerful technology. It has made many voices heard.

This from CREDO MOBILE:

"Dear Friend,

Massive seed corporation Monsanto -- through acquisitions and cut-throat business practices has cornered 90% of the soy, 65% of the corn, and 70% of the cotton market, and has a rapidly growing presence in the fruit and vegetable market, all without government anti-trust officials raising an eyebrow.

Not only that, but in order to grow to maturity, the entire line of Monsanto's seeds all but require the use of Roundup herbicide, trapping all of their customers into buying it. And who owns Roundup? You guessed it, Monsanto.

There is no question, Monsanto has become a monopoly.

I just sent a message to President Obama's antitrust chief Christine Varney, asking her to investigate Monsanto and its abusive business practices.I hope you will, too. Please have a look and take action.

  1. Monsanto has reached the epic level of coorporations that are so deeply entwined with the state that they are pretty much one and the same, untouchable. I'm a firm believer in an actual free market (which we don't have) and I like to speak with my wallet. In this case I just don't think it would make a dent. Unless there was a list of where Monsanto product ends up, but I'm sure it's too big for someone like myself who enjoys corn based everything. This goes back to lobbyists, and special interest groups, farmer subsidies, and good old fashioned politics. Short of a few million of us agreeing to stop paying federal taxes I don't see a solution.
