Everyone has cancer
As you might have noticed, posts here lately have been fewer and further between. I don’t mean to abandon my readers, its just that I’ve been writing up a storm on the Slow Food Nation blog in the past few weeks. Here is the beginning of today’s post on the movie FLOW, a film about the politics of water:
Water is a vital part of life, but should it be a commodity? This is the question FLOW explores, not just in developing countries where the issue seems paramount, but in the United States as well. Water is currently a $400 billion industry, the third largest behind oil and electricity. Because of pollution, scarcity and corporate control, it is the largest issue facing humanity in this century.
Of the 6 billion people on Earth, 1.1 billion do not have access to safe drinking water. In addition, contaminated drinking water kills more humans than AIDS or war. A lack of infrastructure or aging infrastructure that a government can’t afford to upgrade are the leading reasons private companies are invited in to make water distribution deals. But when a private industry, which is beholden to shareholders, gets control of a local water supply, a basic human need, the result is that the community using the water is at risk.
Here’s a great raw food video from the Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona 2008. Victoria answers a question on dental health and how to get the whitest teeth, naturally.
