"Good leads people toward living spirit and compassionate action. Evil leads people away from life, away from spirit, away from kind and wise action, towards fear, confusion, and emotional and physical violence. A strange form of evil has infected the soul of humanity in the twentieth century, and it bears the name nihilism. Nihilism is the belief that all existence is meaningless and there is no possibility of truth. Nihilism is the hopeless darkness of the spiritually blind. Nihilism blinds us to the interdependence of all beings and concern for their common good. Nihilism leads to greed and sexual predation, and in corporate boardrooms can lead to rape of the environment. Nihilism leads to transgressive and criminal behavior, cynically disregarding the possibility of loving-kindness and heroic action. Nihilism is the attitude of egoic paranoia and amorality that makes murder justifiable. And nihilism has become one of the premier attitudes displayed in popular culture" Alex Grey in The Mission of Art

This quote is not in an environmental book but holds true for our situation on our planet. It is undeniable that our food sources and our shelter here on earth are the most precious things we have. We are inextricably entwined with our planet having our spiritual and physical needs met from the energy flowing through Earth and our awareness of this relationship is what has kept our species going. Through industrialization we have lost this connection in only a few generations. We have turned our back on a relationship that we have forged for thousands of years. Instead of living in nature we now try to control it. Over-population has driven us to the point of unsustainability through lack of natural food sources and loss of shelter. Questionable agricultural and industrial practices have poisoned the earth, air and water, our food supply is tainted, and our children are not even being educated on these problems. They grow up thinking that fast and processed food is the status quo. Who are these monsters who knowingly and selfishly feed the population this garbage. Do they not care themselves, for their children, their children's children, and everyone else on this planet. Has greed trumped all other human qualities?

These nihilistic evildoers have no consideration of our health or the environment. They hold no consideration of the well being of others or themselves. They willingly feed people poison and will continue to do so as long as they are profiting. How can we possibly trust these people to produce food, the very life energy that all beings require when they don't even care about the food they are feeding their own children. The bottom line is that you cant trust people in this world of industrial agriculture. No one is going to look out for what you are consuming or the toxicity of your environment, and in fact will go to great length inorder hide the truth. This is not a isolated problem this is affecting virtually every single American, and in the bigger picture the whole world. Everyone expects food to be safe and clean because well its food. But this couldn't be further from the truth. Care about what you are eating because no one else will.
