This post isn’t art-related, so please disregard this entry if this doesn’t interest you.

This issue is just so important to me that I want to spread the word as much as possible and I encourage you to do the same.

This video is 40 minutes long, but worth watching if you can. If you don’t have time now, you can come back to it later.

I got the video off of this website: HealthFreedomUSA.org

Please, sign the petitions there, call your representatives, and tell everyone you know to do the same.

Here’s why you should:

An entity called Codex Alimentarius wants to control the world’s food and is well on its way to doing so. Codex was started in 1962 by the UN and is imposed by WTO sanctions. Codex wants all nutrients–basically everything found in food–to be officially classified as “toxins” so that they can be treated as controlled substances…everything, that is, except pharmaceuticals.

Codex is based in the Napoleonic Code, not Common Law. That means that under Codex Alimentarius, anything not explicitly permitted is forbidden. Under Common Law, we hold that anything not explicitly forbidden is permitted. The difference is the difference between health freedom and health tyranny. Codex Alimentarius would be able to ban supplements by default.

If the world becomes “Codex-compliant” (Codex’s goal is total compliance in 2009) we will no longer have any choices about what we eat and drink. Furthermore, it will be mandatory by law to include certain toxins, like Recombinant growth hormone, in our food. Pesticides will be less regulated than ever. Drugs will be pushed as the only option for health care. I am talking about enforced sickness: the world’s people get poisoned and malnourished while the corporations make money off of it. We can’t let this happen. We need to protect our freedom and our health.

I realize that I am an official “health nut” with “activist” tendencies…and maybe you’re not either of those things. But even if you’re not inclined to get involved in this issue, you can still go to HealthFreedomUSA.org and sign the Citizens’ Petition there. It only takes a moment.

Thank you!

Next week I’ll be a guest speaker for a painting class at Goucher College–the same painting class I took 3 years ago with the same professor! I’m to tell the students what I’ve learned in the past 3 years…so I’ve got some thinking to do.
