“Reset The Table: Meeting the Moment to Transform the U.S. Food System"
Here boy, meal worms and fried crickets no gruel today
Each morning when I rise and make breakfast I recall many are hungry. In the land of abundance we have plenty of horseshit and lots o’ guns and very little butter. I recall as a child going trick or treat for UNICEF and the church we attended helping Africans with food. Today I start with the arson of the food processing plants (96 Examples of Food Shortages Being CREATED in Past Year-https://thinkamericana.com/heres-96-examples-that-the-food-shortages-are-being-created-not-predicted/)
Which brings me to Rockefeller. 2020 Rockefeller Foundation Document Predicted Food Shortages and Discussed Plan to ‘Transform America’s Food System
A 2020 Rockefeller Foundation document outlines a plan to transform America’s food system using the COVID-19 crisis as the pretext.
The document, called “Reset The Table: Meeting the Moment to Transform the U.S. Food System,” was released shortly after the World Economic Forum (WEF) announced its Great Reset agenda months after COVID-19 was declared a national emergency. They called for food system “reset” 2 months after WEF declared the Great Reset. Get it?
“While Covid-19 and the resulting economic downturn made the negative consequences of the food system worse and more obvious, the pandemic did not create them and its end will not solve them. Covid-19 has, however, increased both the imperative and the opportunity to address these flaws and limitations once and for all. Now is the moment to transform the U.S. food system,” the document states.

What does the deity of commerce give, and to whom? What is the point of endlessly accumulating wealth? You have to, after all, spend that wealth—but where? At a point in the speech Ruskin works up himself into a fervor, challenging his audience to answer this very question:
Getting on—but where to? Gathering together—but how much? Do you mean to gather always—never to spend? If so, I wish you joy of your goddess, for I am just as well off as you, without the trouble of worshipping her at all. But if you do not spend, somebody else will—somebody else must. And it is because of this (among many other such errors) that I have fearlessly declared your so-called science of Political Economy to be no science; because, namely, it has omitted the study of exactly the most important branch of the business—the study of spending. For spend you must, and as much as you make, ultimately. You gather corn:—will you bury England under a heap of grain; or will you, when you have gathered, finally eat? You gather gold:—will you make your house-roofs of it, or pave your streets with it? That is still one way of spending it. But if you keep it, that you may get more, I’ll give you more; I’ll give you all the gold you want—all you can imagine—if you can tell me what you’ll do with it. You shall have thousands of gold pieces;—thousands of thousands—millions—mountains, of gold: where will you keep them? Will you put an Olympus of silver upon a golden Pelion—make Ossa like a wart? Do you think the rain and dew would then come down to you, in streams from such mountains, more blessedly than they will down the mountains which God has made for you, of moss and whinstone? But it is not gold that you want to gather! What is it? greenbacks? No; not those neither. What is it then—is it ciphers after a capital I? Cannot you practice writing ciphers, and write as many as you want! Write ciphers for an hour every morning, in a big book, and say every evening, I am worth all those noughts more than I was yesterday. Won’t that do? Well, what in the name of Plutus is it you want? Not gold, not greenbacks, not ciphers after a capital I? You will have to answer, after all, “No; we want, somehow or other, money’s worth.” Well, what is that? Let your Goddess of Getting-on discover it, and let her learn to stay therein.
Ruskin wrote this over a hundred years ago. It was an epoch of industry and trade, a time of mills and railways, the dawn of mechanical mass production. The temple to the Goddess of Getting-on was the factory, the warehouse, and the train station. The spirit it embodies is that of fabrication and commerce.

The food we eat is a simulation of food and real food in the Farmer's Market not inexpensive. Future food will be shall we say a simulation of a simulation of white bread. Nutritional beverages, nutritional wonder pills, maybe IV at home with mood uplifting drugs--if man survives. Very ironic that only say 150 years ago the rural person ate better than the urban. Today luxury food is pure organic. Not truck farmed food delivered to the warehouse for redistribution to outlets. Possibly permaculture can serve us all with a little thought. https://ecozoictimes.com/ecozoic-detroit-permaculture-is-their-path/
Money is a real important part psychologically and is the life force circulating for the Capitalist. Emblematic of this world bereft of dreams. Wordsworth, Carlyle and Ruskin and Morris caught this world rising and denounced it. Ironic indeed their students misunderstood.
