31. We really are becoming the playthings and test subjects of companies such as Monsanto.
My Dad was an Meat and Poultry Inspector for the USDA. I used to go with him to a few of the local poultry plants during the summer. At least back then most of the poultry was locally raised and I don't think that chemicals were used in such large quantities. Now when you see what companies like Tyson and Perdue are allowed to do, it makes me wonder if any poultry is safe to eat.

Between that and the stories that he told me about the meat processing plants, I can only imagine what it's like now. It was starting to get a lot worse when he became sick and had to retire 30 years ago.

Now that animals are raised on chemical laced diets and the GMO foods are monopolizing the plants that we eat, it isn't looking real promising for the health of the human race.

I better start loading up on safe seeds while they're still available.
