Senior Brit Advisor Threatens Food Rationing
- Text size
Telegraph
March 21, 2009
Prof Tim Lang said people needed to wake up to how much water farmers and food factories use in producing staple goods, particularly meat, coffee and milk, saying the threat to Britain’s food chain from its water footprint is just as great as its carbon footprint.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Prof Lang, speaking to The Daily Telegraph on the publication of his latest book ‘Food Policy’, is mid-way through a project to ascertain what constitutes the perfect “sustainable diet”.
His team at City University London is trying to come up with a system to help consumers navigate the minefield of shopping for food that is nutritious, ethical and sustainable.
He is aiming to definitively ascertain whether, for example, a Fair Trade banana from Costa Rica is as “sustainable” as a lamb shank from Wales, or a high-fat ready meal.
Prof Lang, who coined the term “food miles” more than a decade ago, now believes that overuse of water is the biggest threat facing Britain’s food chain.

This is what happens when people just lay there and let government do any dammed thing they want.
Eventually government owns us.
Next time they pass a law saying you must wear a seatbelt in your car, or a bike helmet, or that you cannot carry a loaded handgun in your pants pocket,,, resist !
Resist ! .. or slowly become a slave !

if we the people would just reclaim our “sovereign citizenship” things of this nature could never happen, because as is stands as of right now if you have not reclaimed your “sovereign citizenship” you have no rights no declaration of independence rights, amendment rights, or any other right for that matter, THIS IS FACT that has been proven in the courts time after time,the only thing you have is 14th amendment privileges which can be given or taken at any time by the grantee.
see now i know that many of you think its just a null adhesion contract that was voided by the state or federal government abuse, but that is simply not the case, because as long as whatever is being done is being done to a people who have a “birth certificate” no matter what it is, they can do it with the backing of the courts because the grantees are sovereign people who are making things and restricting things from a non- sovereign people within a sovereign state within a united corporation. and so, by reclaiming your sovereign citizenship, it restores all the rights that you where given at birthright by the state in which your born, the sovereign people would be able to make decision with the full backing of the declaration of independence, and the amended rights which where exchanged for “privileges” through adhesion contracts, please i challenge anyone who does not believe me or think im in left field about this. please people it is the only other way then revolution to make the government get back into its proper smaller place working the the People!!!

pinions are free, “government shill” , “Judas goats” ? you better wake up and smell what your shoveling? You know i can not believe that as soon as a person comes on here and tells people of POSSIBLE solution, people like you will come on here and try to get people distracted from researching fact from lie, you know no matter what action it is “verbal” or “motion” is like a seed that turns into a fruit that only the person who plants must eat from, i bet your belly is very full of bad fruit, but everyone must look at the shit you are planting, and it dont look good. PEOPLE PLEASE RECLAIM YOUR SOVEREIGN CITIZENSHIP, INDIVIDUALLY DRAW THE LINE IN THE SAND, SO WE THE PEOPLE CAN ALL MAKE THE PUSH!!!!!!!!

Note that he has conveniently provided an email address in his header. I’d just like to say that if said person, hammernail1976, is working for the government or with them, this will be a way to garner your email address if you email him. I think that he may be intent on catching the newbies, who may imprudently email him for further information on these wonderful psuedo-legal incantations. Think before you act, always.

GRIZ, yes i have put my email as my name, and no i do not work for the government, i know that you are trying to put a stop to people contacting me with inquires about how to go about “sovereign citizenship”. the thing that you are missing, is this, the amount of people who have read my statement without taking it out of context have made a decision on their own accord to see if what i speak of is true or false which is a first step in individual decision making, now i know that people like yourself and “pinion” are going to try to make water hold with insults, speculation, and assumptions, you go right no ahead, and in the mean time ill keep pushing out documented, researched information. LISTEN PEOPLE NO MATTER IN WHAT YOU DO THE ONLY WAY TO BE VICTORIOUS NO MATTER IN WHAT IT IS, YOU MUST BE GROUNDED IN DOCUMENTED FACTS, AND SELF INQUIRED RESEARCH NOT TOLD OR EXPLAINED RESEARCH, BECAUSE THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS “IN TIMES OF CORRUPTION AND DECEIT, “TRUTH” IS A REVOLUTIONARY THING?

Congresswoman De Lauro pushing for an end to organic farming to benefit her Monsanto husband—
I phoned the Congress ethics committee and they told me this sort of conflict of interest concern should be addressed to the GAO, or for Congressional corruption-
The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct at 202-225-7103.
… a class action suit- preemptive style..

WHO IS THE KING OF TEXAS
I will show myself on April 22 in Waco Texas at the massacre site. I am calling as many Christians of this nation who can find the time to come and see what it is that you don’t even know that you want.
I have the answers for the Christians who have never been defended by their government but have rather been oppressed by their so called government of freedom.
I also have the answers to the current generated economic crisis. This is a peaceful gathering for YHWH our God. But you might want to bring a firearm just in case. After all let us not forget what they did to us in Waco. This is not a call for a riot. This is a peaceful gathering. MAY OUR LORD JESUS BE WITH YOU FRIEND.
I realize it is off topic please forgive me. Go to my web page for more thekingoftexas.com

Can we say ‘Water Cycle’.
Do we need to import water from the Kuiper belt comets to offset water used in agriculture?
Or does it go back into the water cycle after use. This article treats water like it gets ‘used up’ some how.

Actually, you are correct. The only way for our water to be depleted is for it to exit our atmosphere. Such as, ROCKET FUEL.

It’s the ’stock pile’ in the system they’re really referring to, it’s pretty much a closed loop where water within it get reused without being topped up efficiently; it relies solely on reservoirs and how those get filled – can’t be that hard to build desalination plants and pump in seawater.. we’re surround by the damn stuff!.
It’s also not helped by the fact that ‘modified’ crops use up more water and have to be grown in greater numbers to compensate for their relative lack of nutritional value when compared to ‘heritage’ crops… so Prof Lang, like everyone else, is telling only half the story.. “we the people” are paying (going to) yet another ‘tax’ as a result of corporate profiteering (Monsanto et-al corporatism).

It rains here in the UK at least once a week on average. It rains in at least one part of Britain every day. Water shortage haha

It used to rain in Florida every day during the summer until they unleashed their chemtrail air force. Now we’re in a drought and wildfires are rampant. They can shut off your rain too, if they choose.

Major chemtrail/weather mod. drought in Florida now. In the Summer, they mainly blocked out the sun with 100% overcast via spraying.
Weathermod and drought, like in Brzezinski book ‘Between Two Ages’ pg 28
Texe Marrs predicting economy crash (predicting the denial of it, too) and crop control, chemtrail weather control, in 1999.

Plants need water. Texas is not getting any rain. So, until they stop the weather modification, farmers are going to have to continue to use water. Unless you dont want to eat that is.

Don’t they have machines that filter the salt from salt water? If so whats all this BS about?

Throttle all morons in reach to conserve it! Oh, sorry, had to start with a feeble joke. How about the fact that carbon dioxide and oxygen are part of a cycle that plants and animals and other reactions have been part of for millions of years. Animals and plants not currently storing created food breath in oxygen to react with food molecules inside the cells to release energy. This reaction creates and releases free carbon dioxide. Plants that photosynthesize their food then use the carbon in the carbon dioxide to bind smaller simpler molecules together to create starches, a great food stuff to store energy in for all concerned. This then releases the oxygen that was originally used to create the carbon dioxide and other oxygen freed from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
If you find yourself suspecting that the “air” is being exhausted, plant some trees, flowers, grass or even some algae. Lots of other stuff affects air quality, like pollution that factories put out there as gaseous toxic substances and particulates, that’s real, but it is taboo to say that corporations are to blame for something real. Now saying that the population is responsible for a TOTALLY BOGUS type of ecological crisis, that’s okay as long as they are individually responsible and must PAY the governments and corporations that put out the LIE money by laws based on JUNK SCIENCE and MANIPULATED DATA! ALL BOW DOWN TO THE GLOBAL WARMING GOD, GOREAL, NOBEL LAUREATE MINIMUS!

Hey, come on guys, he is right. What gives people to right to food. Nobody has a right to that, food is a privilege and it is right to use it as a behavioral control mechanism … it’s just like training your dogs.
March 22nd, 2009 at 6:22 am
exactly, we are like dogs and now they are telling us what to eat

Any water shortage in the UK is political. Any area of technology or agriculture that the UK does not lead the world in is also down to politics and apathy. Ask Alan Turing, Charles Babbage, John Logie Baird etc.
We live in a temperate bread basket surrounded by sea. There can never be a food or water shortage without government intervention.
Is Ecoloblue available in UK btw?

since we are 90 percent water…maybe we should liquify our selves skim off the protien thats the other 10 percent…..make that ultimate sacrifice for the greater good

This is a little off topic, but Alex has been talking about laws that will essentially outlaw home gardens lately, and I’m having trouble finding anything about this on the web.
Does anyone have any links on this subject?
March 22nd, 2009 at 4:01 pm
There is some of you folks think that water use for food SHOULD be reduced or ration I hope the Kool-Aid tasted good as it went down. As for may big industries uses a tremendous amount of water outside of food use. To pick on the food industry and accepting that we should given in and give up is outragous. This is more BS to get everyone to accept a much worse life than what we have now and so we all can slide right on down the slippery slope to hell. Shame on those that can not see what is going on.

Britian has been killing off its small farmers for decades now, and because of that they can’t feed themselves,so they import more!
Sad thing is its the governments doing that thers a problem, not a shortage of water,but a shortage of intellect and foresight!
Same problem we face here in America,retards making policy!
Besides if water is in short supply the maybe we oughta melt more of those icecaps,lots of water in them they claim…oh, that’d be politically incorrect eh? Ah screw that!
March 22nd, 2009 at 10:14 pm
And while this Lymie prick is stuffing his face with bangers and mash, and shepherds pie, or whatever other disgusting shit turds like him eat, he wants all the little people to have water rationing? He should be rationed- rationed into little bitty bits with a goddamned wood chipper. Jesus, this shit pisses me off.
