Fear in his words, he speaks of dictators, dictatorship of food distribution, control, Power, talks of peoples rights to have there own power to dictate there own food policy, Yes, that sounds good. BUT, he goes on to say FOOD SOVERNCY messes that up, Takes Your Power To Decide what you eat, and gives it to someone else, who has authority( International) over you. Listen very carefully how he speaks, and the words he uses. sovereignty of Food? food causing equal rights of women??? i c evil

[SeekTruthinLight]

What someone will determine who will eat and what? This is a New World Order spokesmen who with clever words will convince the world to give them power to distribute the worlds food in his world plan. Make no mistake, this of Marxist, world control of peoples sovereignty, with food, where food could be used to conquer the world, if one had an inkling. America needs to maintain its sovereignty in everything, helping others to do the same, if they choose, having unity with all in God, in Goodness.

[SeekTruthinLight]

Hear is someone who seems to have all the answers, one who would convince people to risk it all with no real back up plan for plans destined to fail. It is arrogant to think you have all the answers without God's plan in the mix. It is selfishness and greed that promotes hunger, i.e, Farmers in south Africa are being run out, their once productive Farms are laid waste, instead of them growing more for the people, where others can be trained to farm, as tax incentives. God's plan works with mans.
