Ancestors Speak – Where Does Your Food Come From?

Every fall, during the harvest, our Ancestors ensured that they kept enough seed of the best vegetables, fruits, herbs and grains to use as seed for the next spring.  Our Ancestors knew instinctively that without caretaking of seeds, the plants may become extinct because of over harvesting.  Our Ancestors also knew that when the plants were kept strong and healthy by gardening practices and by keeping the best seed, then the strength of Man would mirror the strength of the plants.

In the 21st Century, Man’s health is failing at an unprecedented rate, even though as a species, humans live longer.  They are, however, like the genetically modified seeds that large corporations create to own – humans are being genetically modified by all the drugs that they ingest.  Much the same way that drug addicts need the drug to move forward, humans are dependent on a variety of drugs that our Ancestors simply found in their food supply.  Humans weaken as plants weaken.

Norway has recognized the value of preserving seeds.  In 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was opened to allow countries around the world to preserve seeds in case humans have need of seeds in the future.  See the website http://www.regjeringen.no/en/dep/lmd/campain/svalbard-global-seed-vault.html?id=462220 to learn more about this global mission to protect where food comes from. 

Each person can contribute to preserving seeds by keeping seeds from bumper crops of garden harvest.  Or, simply purchase Heritage Seeds where the source is known, and put them away for a future time.  Seeds may stay dormant for years and still grow. 

Why preserve these seeds?  There is a saying that Shaman always use that says that Great Spirit has given man everything needed to survive and heal any hurts (wounds).  The easiest way to stay healthy is to eat healthy.  Do you know where your food comes from?  Brands that once provided a healthy source of food have been purchased by conglomerates.

1. Organic? Green and Black's organic chocolate was taken over in 2005 by Schweppes, the 10th-largest company in North American packaged-food.
2. Tom's of Maine is owned by Colgate-Palmolive, a massive company with a revenue of approximately $11.4 billion.
3. Burt's Bees is now owned by Clorox, a massive corporation that has historically cared very little about the environment.
4. Kashi cereals was bought in July 2000 by Kellogg's, the 12th-largest company in North American food sales.

When one looks at these types of facts, it is clear that the source of the food is suspect.

May you find the food that nourishes and heals you.
