    I wonder that if MAHA’s hands have been tied to limited ability to tackle the food problem at the large corporation level of politics why not give direction and reachable help to the smaller farmers to thrive rather than struggle?
    I am sure it has been through a trickle down of the President being manipulated by big food corporations that MAHA had to ‘soften’ this last report.
    It is obvious that hands have been tied.
    …perhaps MAHA needs to be looking at protecting the Amish communities and the small farmers? Our water sources? The small ranchers?
    To further educate our communities, parents and children on advertising and marketing scams.
    If big corporations are using marketing, then we should too!!!
    Fight fire with fire.
    We won’t win in their arena of politics unless we find another route to the masses.
    Shouldn’t small farmers have the same rights as large corporations?
    Couldn’t we put legal aid in place to help the ones who are being shoved out of business?
    Pushed around and stolen from?
    Trying to fight big corporations on their turf is commendable and necessary, but is kind of a lost cause and a very slow-to-adhere process, if at all.
    Isn’t that because the general public is afraid of losing jobs AND having to take responsibility for their children’s diets when it is easier to give them tech gadgets, toys, and unlimited TV? Take them to the carnival and buy them cotton candy?
    Parents do not want to teach children themselves, and we have fallen into trusting the school systems so that we can go to work and pay for our own gadgets, toys, and go have a beer.
    Less debt and more home time should sound better than…lets all go to work so we can buy things and food for entertainment.
    What happened to home economics class that taught us how to cook, clean and sew?
    Workshop to fix things?
    Does recycling even exist?
    Or is that extra trash can a ‘dupe’ to make us feel good about our heaps of trash from shopping?
    What is wrong with the phone or car that we already own?
    Does anyone realize that the new car smell is poisonous for a very long time?
    We are not told that when we buy a new car, and even the most savvy person does not want to hear it.
    Parents rarely care what is being taught in public schools beyond the child passing the grade. We have been programmed into blind trust so we can work to pay for things we don’t need.
    Shopping for new clothes each season is seemingly essential.
    Toxic from refining recycled plastic into material for cheap ‘new’ clothing.
    Children are taught that authority is outside of the home, and they had better listen or the kids will tell.
    Has anyone noticed that children’s TV shows almost always degrade the father into an idiot with a very limited sense of logic?
    What is that doing to family dynamics?
    Mothers are always working and too busy to guide children during the ‘boring’ moments of the day…in real life, moms are too tired to fight convenience.
    Cooked meals become glysophate pizza, fast food, microwave magic food, boxed, bagged or canned magic. (the list is enormous).
    Amazingly…small children think that fathers are supposed to clean up after them, moms are busy getting hair, clothing, and nails done…ugh.
    And food shouldn’t come from animals?
    Only animals eat animals?
    Instead, we are taught that animals belong in sanctuaries where they are safe and fed bagged food… no one seems willing to talk about how the animals are miserably caged?
    No one wants to admit that breeding animals for profit is just cruel.
    We promote breeding domestic animals for profit and post them for sale.
    The leftovers or unwanted can be housed in rescue facilities until adopted and live happily ever after???
    That is not reality.
    The reality is disgusting.
    Nor is thinking that domestic animals cannot smell the death that awaits them in shelters and understand what death is…ugh..breeders should be made to volunteer in kill shelters for several days and hours just like any other business license acquired.
    Breeders should be licensed, monitored, and kept to a limit.
    (Sorry, that has always been a personal pet peeve of mine. Pun not intended.
    So many cartoons and programs are with children doing ‘whatever’ on their own at very young ages, dressed all sparkly with magical wins and losses fixed by a community of friends.
    This is not reality.
    We are often left to solve our own losses by ourselves or on a bar stool… and that is often a failure.
    Parents only periodically pop in to do normal daily tasks like bringing in the groceries or vacuuming.
    Good, helpful, and/or truthful cartoons or TV shows are often considered ‘creepy’ or ‘boring’ by children, and that is unsettling.
    I realize I have gone off topic…my apologies.
    It is sad how many homes are filthy because no one wants to get their hands wet, and certainly woman cannot put their manicured nails in water…oh my goodness.
    Children are growing up believing that cleanliness is done by someone else or is simply overrated.
    Do we know how to remove stains without a chemical spray?
    Or recycle the clothing once unwearable?
    (again… off topic:().
    Years ago, I said that ADHD is a blanket term.
    Probably still true for many ailments, adult and child-related.
    Used by doctors to soothe the feelings of overworked, lazy or those in denial because if a doctor suggests that soda pop, sugary foods and chemical-laden foods might be the cause of hyperactivity, the inability to focus or the cause of a general health issue…
    well the doctors would lose patients and probably be kicked out of the medical field altogether if they happened to be successful in convincing a patient to take control of their situation without continued use of drugs.
    This remains a problem.
    Few people want to hear that if the child or adult stopped eating and drinking tons of sugar or pasta they might create better health and behave better as a whole.
    So then, wouldn’t it be more effective to educate parents and doctors about nutrition alternatives?
    This might be an easier task than curtailing the mass production of chemical, herbicide, and pesticide-laden foods by corporations that own the politicians.
    And really, what are the alternatives?
    There are not very many, are there?
    No, there isn’t.
    Nothing on the grocery aisles is safe to eat…nothing.
    Pesticides float from sprayed fields to every home and backyard garden and into our water…
    And now the crap is in our air from industrial waste being dispensed into the air and labeled ‘weather control conspiracy’.
    No one sees that yet, but wait for it…eventually, someone will let the cat out of the bag.
    Industrial waste cannot be sent out to sea or buried in barrels so easily anymore…so then, where does it go? They are releasing it into the air and hoping everyone continues to call it weather control and maybe it is, aren’t scientists smart enough to use the waste to spray it where they want and know what they are releasing? I would say they are paid well to learn how.
    That is another topic, but a win-win for the industrial owners.
    Basic logic.
    Bottom line…it is rare to find anything worth feeding to a child today.
    Forget about the expense.
    Unsaturated ingredients just aren’t available anymore.
    Big corporations don’t want us to learn how to eat, sleep, clothe ourselves, heat or stay cool, travel, clean, or be healthy without paying them.
    We don’t want to know that something labeled organic isn’t truthfully organic, and most people do not know that this food also needs to be washed.
    Few people know that the words organic or heart-healthy are nothing but label marketing sales tactics and are not regulated to include the big conglomerates, as the rules don’t apply to big corporations.
    Few people know or realize that the safest food has both the non-GMO and organic stamps on a label or that a small home garden really is not that hard to maintain.
    Oddly, few people know how to compost the unused or end-of-season garden waste, or that compost does not stink or attract wildlife and bad insects unless meat and dairy are added to it…they don’t know not to put meat scraps or dairy in compost.
    Few realize that a bottle of cinnamon sticks is often not even cinnamon.
    Few want to admit or learn that our ground and water are saturated in chemicals, herbicides, and pesticides.
    Few want to admit that the new car smell is poison.
    Few want to admit that the stuff being sprayed over field after field of…corn and soybeans?…is lethal.
    The corn they are eating is field corn, not meant for human consumption, but must be refined and processed in a way that makes it seem like healthy corn products.
    People don’t know because it is inconvenient.
    Kind of like dog food…is it really food fit for a dog? Most of it isn’t.
    We need to educate parents so that children can learn the truth.
    It’s kind of like the D.A.R.E. or MADD programs.
    Advertise, advertise, advertise!!
    Show us we can help the small farmer and the backyard gardener stay afloat and keep our freedom to buy from the folks who are willing to take on the job and do it well.
    Somewhere, we got lost, and we need to find a way to go around the fools on the hill.
    Bobby and his crew have no chance in fighting the big corporations, but they are appreciated for keeping vigilance.
    We will be lucky and blessed if he and his staff survive our mission to help not only America but also the world as a whole.
    Remember, we still lead in marketing media tactics.
    Both good and bad.
    Let’s play the game and magnify the good marketing.
    Perhaps through cartoons…people understand cartoons.
