Well, I agree 99%. (And I would add much more in many areas.)I don't like the hormones, antibiotiocs and gawd knows what else big ag injects into the animals that likely end up in some part into the tissues that eventually would find their way to my garden and then into me. No thank you.
I can say that our grain supply seems forever tainted with their gmo crap making farmers ever dependent on those companies for their future. Monsanto has gmo seeds with built in insecticides so the farmer doesn't have to spray for pests, including apparently that pesky honey bee that is being killed off indiscriminately along with everything else.
And, the companies have a patent on those seeds which prohibit farmers from growing their own seeds for future crops which makes them ever dependent and so have to continually buy from big ag.
Their salt based fertilizers are poisoning the world's farm land making them dependent on those petroleum based inputs forever more.
It sounds like a big conspiracy theory until you start researching Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates and their efforts to control the world through the World Economic Forum and "The Great Reset." The motto? "You will own nothing and be happy about it."
Their aim is to essentially control the world with one socialist government including everything from world population, to energy, food and medicine (hence the worldwide efforts to force everyone to get the covid shot that was very hastily produced and now seems to be giving rise to increased health issues like cancers and autoimmune diseases thru the spike protein that gets injected).
So, no thank you to them and their World Domination. Stay the hell out of my life as I can make my own decisions and don't need the wealthy elite imposing their corrupt views on me, thank you.
I can trace some of my health issues to allergic reactions to common foods like grains and soy eventually rendering me unable to swallow food. The medical community's "solution?" Have me take steroids for the rest of my life. But any qualified doctor with tell you that treating a chronic life-long condition with steroids is a very bad idea.
So, I deal with my issue by growing our favorite plant organically in the best way I can. It resolved that and many of my other ailments without resorting to the chemicals modern medicine seems so enamored with, even with the incredible side effects that come with them. Ancient remedies like the Chinese have been using for millennia are not only frowned upon but, in some cases like cannabis, are outlawed.
So, f*ck them and their paternalistic views on what I can do with my body. All they want to do is push drugs on us. I went to the doctor for a check-up many years ago and the blood tests revealed my cholesterol was a bit elevated. The proposed solution? A pill I had to take for the rest of my life which subsequently has been shown to cause certain cancers. No discussion of my diet or exercise was ever raised. The doctor went straight for the drugs. It seems there's no money for Big Pharma in healthy living.
So, yes, I'm a bit jaded. I'm happy to have qualified medical professionals suggest possible solutions to health issues, but when politicians with no medical background mandate what I can/will do with my body, well, they can all just fuck off.
Rant over.
Only, just out of curiosity, why do you label it "paternalistic" rather than either "maternalistic", or leaving it as a neutral?
