The Prince of Wales is a Radical Voice for the Future of Food

" The Oxford dictionary defines sustainability as 'keeping something going continuously". And the need to keep things going for future generations is quite frankly the reason I have been venturing into extremely dangerous territory by speaking about the future of food over the past 30 years. I have all the battle scars to prove it! Questioning the conventional world view is a risky business. And the only reason I have done so is for the sake of the younger generation and for the integrity of nature herself. It is your future that concerns me and that of your grandchildren, and theirs, too." HRH The Prince of Wales, in his legendary speech, the Future of Food.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD

ROCK ON, Prince Charles! There is a small book that is called The Future of Food that is this speech in print, and its an amazing read. I for one absorb information better on a page in a book, but this speech in its original form is no less compelling. Prince Charles is my new hero. Why aren't our elected officials showing this same concern? Maybe because they assume their children and grandchildren will be part of the elite of the future who will be able to afford real, naturally grown food, while the masses make do with the piss poor quality of food products that are available at their  capability to afford. The future will be no middle class- there will most likely be the poor, for whom lifetimes are spent eating foods that make them ill and paying for doctors to make them better only to eat the food that made them ill again. The rich will not suffer these problems. They will continue to thrive and be healthy and pampered. At least this is a very possible scenario if things don't change, and it looks as if this is the grand design of the whole insidious plot.

If you have read this, but haven't listened to the Prince's speech, please share it anyway. If you have watched it, and invested the time to enhance your understanding of your future, then I know you WILL share- but even those who don't take the time can still serve a greater purpose by sharing and resharing.
