The production and sale of Synthetic and GMO food needs to be banned. Government subsidies for commodity crops must end and the granting of food patents must end as well. The 14th amendment must be completely repealed to end corporate personhood so corporations can no longer claim legal status as naturalized federal US Citizen with endless federal privileges and immunities and the so called "equal protection of the law" that allows them to claim the Bill of Rights applies to them.
Thanks again, Alexis, for this great talk. I had to leave the session before the Q&A was done, but I had a question about the Commerce Clause and how it was use/abused by the Fed gov to get top down control of our food systems. Is Wickard v. Filburn the case on which all other decisions involving the Commerce Clause rests? If it were overturned, would the whole edifice of protecting the "welfare" of the people fall?
[ That’s a really good question, but I honestly have no idea. I don’t see the Supreme Court scaling back Congress’s Commerce Clause powers anytime soon, so I wouldn’t suggest that as a legal strategy.
I really like what the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) is doing, organizing localities to declare their sovereignty and trying to establish the right to local sovereignty in state constitutions and eventually at the federal level.
Still, it’s hard not to apply common sense and see Wickard as wrongly decided and a terrible overreach of Congressional authority.
Seventh Day Adventists are claimed to be a sect of Protestantism but their beliefs seem to come from the Torah which is Judaism. Much of Christianity has adopted beliefs from Judaism which is idolatry.
