What freedom??!!

            The Americans have always prided themselves as the Land of Freedom, the land of equality and opportunity. Really?
            On one of my sojourns into the alien world of gardening, I chanced upon a couple of documentaries on food farming - and it's amazing how the Americans, and perhaps most of us in the rest of the world, have very little say in what we put into our mouths. We buy stuff from the supermarkets thinking that these are "healthy" foods...and we wonder why we are plagued by various ailments that were totally alien to our elders of long ago.
            In our endeavour to eat "healthy", we have actually swallowed stuff that gets us to the medical facilities a lot more frequently. We have also inadvertently helped the health insurance business tremendously. We have accepted that falling ill is a way of life - gravely ill I mean.
            Watch this and be horrified......how Monsanto and other "big boys" have controlled the world food market : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVwmgH_99Kc  [for some reason this video "could not be found"] , and the one below on how small time farmers are harassed for providing "real" food to a small segment of the population.



             Then I came across this : http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/is-the-united-states-still-the-land-of-the-free/2012/01/04/gIQAvcD1wP_story.html
            Despite all these, many still look up to America with reverence, always accepting whatever comes out from there as the "best". Malaysians are no exception.
            I guess many of us love to be deceived for as long as life looks rosy :)
