the people behind the movement should be the leaders of a wholeness and healing evolution. there should be an understanding of goals and teaching while continuing the idea not motivated by money. are only certain income levels allowed to live disease free? i cannot believe in the ideals of a place who is making a growth profit off of them. what is it to make a business from beliefs? a food and health system should be accessible to the people for a very standard rate. to support the system itself. why should a shop owner expect the people to support an extravagant lifestyle off of goods that are a right to all? or if not the shop owner, the food companies and suppliers. making a modest profit for the sake of the well being of a community should be understood.
foodies and health nuts see their cause like a religion. and like the mega churches are transparent in their greed, so are the whole foods and high priced exclusive natural markets.
and more so for the poor community. the people most in need. how is it that the militant concept of nutrition can be so exclusive. i do not believe that general health is so sacred it must be left only to who can afford it. it can be done right in moderate formats and also can encourage a heavier saturation of similar establishments. basic supply and demand. but the private entrepreneurship of a food market seems counterproductive to the sustainable nourishment of its community. it has to be over the people for the people. with a balanced input from all sides.
i challenge the counterfood culture to take on a real need in the poorer communities and commit fully to the cause.
