Recently European Comr. for Agriculture, Dacion Ciolos, has said, "any business that relies upon subsidies (grants, tax breaks) is NOT A REAL BUSINESS." (Oh dear, that's practically every Third Sector set up!)

Organic fruit and vegetables, fresh and inexpensive!
Can organic fruit and vegetables be cheap?
Many people believe organic fruit and vegetables to be more expensive than supermarket or high street, non-organic produce. On the face of it this may SEEM TO BE the case but, having been using fresh, organic produce myself, from Eden Farm, for the last 6 months, I can now explain how it is actually as economical as the supermarket food, if not cheaper.
How can I say this?
I shudder to think where supermarket food comes from, and how long so-called fresh?! supermarket food has been hanging around in warehouses and freezers, and what it has been sprayed with and has absorbed as it grows! Most of it is literally deteriorating (rotting) and dying – if not already dead, as you take it home! They radiate it to keep back the mildew and fungus rot!
Organic produce has a much longer shelf life. Wastage is virtually non-existent so you use and eat practically all you buy. Eden Farm’s organic food is so fresh, it is still alive when you buy it. You can have Eden Farm’s food hanging around in the fridge for a week, sometimes even longer, and it hardly changes. I had some spinach and mushrooms in my fridge recently for nearly 2 weeks and dreaded opening the bag to look inside – but was amazed when I did, the vegetables were fine and usable, and tasted delicious.
So, please do not be put off organic food, find a reliable local supplier – not the organic aisle in the supermarket which will be deliberately extortionate! Eden Farm supplies markets all over the place, and there are other organic farms around
epare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider probably work best) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want, (though the mixture is so diluted I find you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge.
The vinegar kills any mould spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of the fruit, and voila! Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting mouldy and soft.
Also, if you have a cool, dry place in your shed or garage buy a sack, or half sack of locally grown farm potatoes. They will last for ages and are much nicer and cheaper than buying a few pounds/kilos here and there from a supermarket. You could even try growing your own - in a container if you do not have much of a garden.

BP, Deepwater Horizon - Ian R Crane on Disaster Capitalism
In this documentary interview, Ex Oil field Executive and Truth Activist, Ian R Crane exposes detailed information regarding the biggest environmental disaster in history.
Ian exposes the truth behind the Gulf Coast oil disaster and the direct role BP played in engineering and profiteering from this tragic event.
Ian's knowledge and research on deep geopolitics reveals the key architects involved in the manipulation and cover up of this (lucrative?) disaster (allegedly, with a BP-sponsored hit squad?) and how this ties in with New World Order agenda of depopulation.
Ian also discusses his recent correspondence with Doctors and the (human) victims who have been exposed to the lethal dispersant, Corexit. - (Shame the animal and plant life cannot talk!)

What are BP's 'behavioural health payments' for? Hush money, allegedly? See part 6.
April 20th 2011 (earlier this week):
Me, "Ian, may I please ask you something before you go?"
Ian Crane, "Yes of course."
Me, "Is it true that the sea bed in the Gulf Of Mexico is permanently fractured and has never been stopped up?"
Ian, "Yes," and Ian than went on to explain that because BP are paying compensation, the entire Deepwater Horizon incident is being all hushed up. BP have been able to hide their culpabilty and responsibility behind corporate law (the corporate"body") and nobody - no individual, has been brought to task over this whole incident.
Meanwhile, the non-stop catastrophic leaks from the sea floor, many miles down, continue to bleed poison over all in their path....

BP
“..After the events of April – October 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, I think I would be hard-pressed to find someone unaware of at least one of BP’s environmental atrocities. It is laughable indeed to have them as the Sustainability Sponsor of the Games…”
