Over 50% of US Food Supply Now PETROLEUM Based."From Diabetes research on latest Diabetes studies, Diabetes releases, 4-8-08 to fix - cure my diabetes, this makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen-Diabetic. Copyright © 2008
Most Americans are not even aware the health of the nation ( in relation to the rest of the world ) is in a "developing health catastrophe mode." Diseases like Diabetes and Obesity, doubling in the last 12 years for example and all degenerative diseases (that kill 82% of Americans) are ALL on a steep rise. they not only are NOT fixing these health problems they are out of control and rising rapidly.Most Americans still falsely believe they have the best medical care and nutrition in the world. Totally unaware that life expectancy is slipping badly year by year and is now lower then 45 other nations. This all happening despite the US spending twice the amount per person (over $6,000 on medical care) per person then any other country.This now producing a U.S.A. life expectancy that has declined now to on par with Cuba which spends annually $300 per person on medical care. This decline in US health is almost exactly matching the opposite rise in food production in US that has become now over 50% PETROLEUM based. Commercial food production is now basically oil powered, (forced growth fertilizer) and is a big factor in the decline of nutrients in the American food supply and health problems. Here is why
that no one is telling you. That this oil use was necessary to support what some say is the Oil based agriculture that made it possible for the world's population to explode from 1 billion at the middle of the 19th century to in excess of 6 Billion at the turn of the 21st. Here is the sleeper....you do not realize and this is the biggest factor in the petroleum based food system< in the United States and the catastrophic affect on American Health that is just becoming fully apparent. First my background, I was raised on a farm, inherited a Midwest farm, sold it and my wife inherited a Midwest farm and still owns it, (has it rented out) In connection with my publishing newspapers in the Midwest I have traveled extensively over the entire farm belt. In recent years observed the complete change (now almost total) of the ag system and wrote and published a farm newspaper and web sites for a period.Next, I was diagnosed with diabetes and told it was expected to take 19 years off my life expectancy and I was already 76. Therefore, I have spent over three years almost around the clock researching diabetes, obesity and life expectancy, what has happened to (me in particular) and American health. By putting all that together, and verifying all along the way, I want you to know what I am telling you here is happening and you need to be aware of it.When I was growing up down on the farm, we got about 40 bushels to the acre of corn at about a buck a bushel.. (During the depression years) Right in the middle of high school years they came out with a hybrid corn that on a really good year helped so much that we got 80 bushels an acre. That is, if we hauled all of our manure out which our extensive livestock produced. Hauled this manure in our spreader in the right fields at the right time and rotated with other crops like alfalfa, that used and put back in the ground some of the nutrients corn took out. You could not successfully grow corn two years in a row in the same field, because of nutrient drain.Our animals grazed, even the picked corn fields, and in normal course of events put down fertilizer that helped next years crops. The soil had abundant earth worms that turned the dead plant fiber into nutrients along with live soil bacteria working around the clock. The amount of corn or other crops was limited by how well we farmed and saw to it and assisted that nature put back and replenished, all the nutrients our crops needed by using these good farming practices. During my grandfathers time, one fourth of the farm was left "fallow" to recoup. Which quarter was rotated yearly. Soil bacteria, worms and natural processes replenished so the following year after lying fallow for a year, (they called it resting) it returned good crop yields
