Food For Thought
People in debt become hopeless people.
Keeping people hopeless and pessimistic is a form of control while still being under the illusion of being free.
There are two ways in which people are controlled:
1. First- Frighten the people.
2. Second-Demoralize them.
...because an educated, healthy and confident nation is harder "to govern" and "some people" fear that healthy, educated and confident people would get out of control.
It is funny when you think about it: that the top 1% of world population own 80% of the world's wealth (it is incredible people put up with it), but they are poor, they are demoralized and they are frightened, and therefore they think that perhaps “the safest” thing to do is to take orders and hope for the best... and that is exactly what we do from the day we are born.

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Overview
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which falls under the Constitution Act of 1982, guarantees the rights and freedoms of all Canadians. It encompasses all aspects of human rights, from fundamental freedoms such as mobility, through legal rights, to the right to free communication. In particular, it states that everyone is entitled to the fundamental freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression; and this freedom extends to the press and other communications media.
But while the Charter allows all Canadians to freely express their thoughts and opinions, it also protects everyone's right to be treated fairly, without discrimination — a point that "freedom of speech" advocates sometimes ignore.
Guarantee of Rights and Freedoms
Section 1 of the Charter guarantees citizens’ rights and freedoms only within such reasonable limits as can be justified in a free and democratic society.

 How and what we eat has radically changed over the past few decades with the all-consuming rise of the supermarket. But what price are we paying for the homogenized, cheap and convenient food that supermarkets specialize in? In a two-part program, journalist Jane Moore investigates how supermarkets have affected the food on our plates and reveals the tell-tale signs that the food we buy may not have been grown in the way we think. Using a combination of undercover filming and scientific analysis, Supermarket Secrets investigates whether the food on supermarket shelves is really as good as it looks, whether prices are as good as they seem and what happens behind the scenes in the production of supermarket food. This documentary is in two parts. This first part deals with factory farming and general quality of supermarket food. The second part deals with cow’s milk, food standards, food waste, pesticides, food globalization, and loss of quality of our produce. A very important watch for everyone, gives you facts about the meat and food you eat. Click Here to Watch Part 1!Click Here to Watch Part 2! |
