I’d Rather Eat Cardboard

Nearly all the produce we find on our supermarket shelves today is inferior compared to what previous generations ate. The global food systems leave a lot to be desired. We must rethink, redo and revolutionize the whole process if we are to survive.

In November of 2013 the ASC magazine was lucky enough to have Joel Salatin as a contributing author. Here’s what Joel had to say about what is happening to our food systems: “The industrial food system throws billions of dollars into researching how to increase shelf life and transport viability. A tomato bouncing around in the back of an eighteen-wheeler for 2,000 miles must be half cardboard just to endure the abuse”. We couldn’t agree more. http://aquaponics-how-to-guide.info/aquanewsletter/

Joel and Polyface farms are now leading the way for future farmers and quality produce. Ask yourself why we are seeing such an increase in diseases around the world? Could it be that we are being bombarded by chemicals and pesticides?  Our water is polluted, our food systems are under attack and big agra is doing all they can to squeeze the little guy out. http://aquaponics-how-to-guide.info/asc_back_issues/

There was a time when Joel’s neighbors thought he was crazy for challenging big agra, they now sing his praises. A few years ago 30 families would buy produce from him, it is now over 5000. He has rebuilt his community by providing good quality food, education and jobs. He and his family need to be applauded for all they have done to encourage people to return to a simpler way of life. They are happy, healthy and lead the way in what it means to care for others and their community.

Please support Joel and his family by taking the time to watch this 9 minute video. https://heenandoherty.worldsecuresystems.com/Polyfaces   We need more people like Joel Salatin and want to do all we can to promote his message and his work.
