GOD - a three letter word?

What is God? Is it a concept that is neatly packaged with a pretty red bow? Like the Bible? Or the Quran? Or even the Four Noble Truths? Or is it much bigger than that? Is organized religion born on a speck of dust revolving around a small ball of fire in a vast boundless universe? Is it singular to just humans? Or is it much bigger than us? What created the Universe?  – Maybe that is God or at least the definition of all things. And how do you define God? It would seem for such a vast concept that such a simple three letter word would be, well, too simple. Since God is such a complex concept, maybe the word God should be a complex  word like Acetylglucosamine-Glucosamine – a word  you would find in a processed food item? Hmm,  probably not very catchy huh?…

....and the poor get fatter

Why is it cheaper to buy double cheese burgers off the value menu from your local fast food joint than a bushel of broccoli? Why does eating healthy cost more money? When a poor, struggling family has to choose between a full belly and health, which will they chose? Unfortunately, money talks and there is something wrong with junk food being cheaper than healthy food. Want to open your eyes more to the dark underbelly of our industrial food system?

I learned that there is ammonia in my ground beef, and that chickens destined for store shelves never see the light of day. I learned that a simple hard working farmer has no rights in our court system and that the government is on the take when it comes to big money corporations that control our food sources.
I am glad no one reads this blog because I could be sued for libel.
