ADHDchildren

My last post was written from a state of disbelief about the GMO rider that is being referred to as the “Monsanto Protection Act”.  Now that the shock has lifted and the sad temporary reality has set in, I found this statement from Senator Mikulski’s office.  Senator Barbara Mikulski, Chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee has a record of protecting the American public.  This new law obviously does not.  I do not mean to single out Senator Mikulski as she was not the only voter in the Senate or the House and President Obama signed it into law after the voting was complete.  I address this to all politicians.

I understand the compromises politicians must make once they enter into what is now the corporate dictatorship rather than what is believed to be a democracy.  Was that really the only option available to avoid a government shutdown?  I do understand the fears and pressures we are all under in these trying times.

The good news, however, is that the bill is only in effect for six months and some politicians are saying they will not let this pass into law again.  I pray they stick to their word.  Hopefully biotech companies cannot do any more damage during the next six months.

May God inspire all politicians and appointees to start thinking and acting for the wellbeing of all the people who put them in office and have some backbone rather than bend to the will of the corporations who fund them before, during or after political office.  How ironic it is that corporations are funded by the same people who elect politicians.  Perhaps this will wake up the nation.  One can only hope and trust in God to help turn the tide back to democracy and a nation of people who take an active role in their own health rather than assume ADHD is a disorder and a nursing home is the inevitable end of the road.

I must also admit that I am not perfect either as I write this article.  Today I ate a bagel which probably contained things that were unhealthy.  Since they were sold freshly-baked by my local grocery store and GMO’s are not labeled yet, it is hard for me to know for sure what was truly in them.  We all do the best we think we can with the money, time and awareness with which we have to work.

When the food supply becomes pure again and animals are treated humanely and not drugged, food and health will hopefully no longer be a political bargaining chip.  Now that’s a prayer!

As in my last post, I would like to share some very informative articles I have come across which I also posted on Facebook.  It appears that it took a while for mainstream media to speak up about this issue, but they are covering it now.

Please be sure to connect on my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/ADHDchildren since I update that more than this blog.

I will list the links below to the articles I mentioned in case you would like to read them.
