The European politicians know, the governments know, and journalists, and more than anyone the farmers know because most of them would like to get rid of it. But I’m not so sure the consumers know that our food is making us sick from an unhealthy agricultural policy. When they do, it will make the pivot fall for change. The EU agricultural policies, with the huge subsidies are bad, bad, bad. When the small organic farms don’t get any help and Prince Charles gets a million pounds every year something is wrong. It is actually very wrong, but we can change it starting today, by voting for a more healthy EU.
The system made sense after the WWII, when Europe was shattered and poor. Farmers needed subsidies to produce food for a starving population. The policies were made so that it promoted large farms, not knowing that 5 decades after it would be the reason for why we have a dysfunctional market with subsidized international enterprises, food that make us ill, and chemicals that kill both us and our nature. Sugar is dangerous! It is the fuel for tumours and proven to make kids hyperactive. Why is the sugar industry one of the biggest receivers of the 55 billion Euros payed by European tax payers every year?
Why subsidise unhealthy farming and food, while healthy food like organic veggies and fruit hardly get any subsidies. Other continents are not so much better, the US being an example known for the sugar lobby headed by Coca Cola. Gro Harlem Bruntland witnessed their mafia methods to stop her from publishing recommendations for sugar intake, as the Director General of WHO. It’s a thriller!
Now it’s up to the voters, you and me, to change this. Once again, the only thing that will change this dysfunctional industry is consumers and voters. Make it come up on the political agenda! Democracy comes with the responsibility of voting and freedom of speech. I have to say I like the idea of compulsory voting, as you can always vote blank. See this video before you vote for the European Parliament. Understand why Tate & Lyle and huge land owners, get so much money from our European tax money. This video explains it all. It is produced by an organizations of european journalists that also shows rates of transparency in each country.

O•live Retreat demystifies health and in the process it stands clear that health is far from drugs or injections made from petrochemicals.
First we make sure you know yourself, your body and what that means. Then we continue on your healthy path to get to know your body and yourself to do a good cleanse on all levels, Body·Mind·Soul. With over 15 years in this business and, as Conde Nast Travel and some others put it "top-ranked" health retreat, we base our work our own O• method, derived from a multitude of methods, both old and new. You'll get healthier in all areas of life as we don't think one can leave health at home while going to work, we can't say we are healthy if we destroy our bodies over the weekend or vice versa. One is either healthy or not, and what that means can only be defined by each and one and if that is to indulge in the unhealthy stuff it's because it's really worth it for the only judge - you.
The key training for professionals (individuals and groups) is focused on enhanced productivity through self-inspiration and self-care. As a high equity manager in the finance sector put it - it's all about staying highly inspired. We couldn't agree more and we know how that biochemistry looks like.
Independent studies find that 96% of our guests become more healthy and stay healthy after 6 months, 82% stay healthy after a year. This is a better rate than anyone other treatment or training, as far as we know. Our teachings are based on modern science, and ancient evidence based techniques, and a lot of personal experience with trial and error, in the field of being a healthy human. and healing.
We start all training with a health assessment and by asking what healthy means to each one? How you define it is what counts, but one thing is similar for all no matter what you learnt - a natural, anti-inflammatory lifestyle is everything we need (without drugs) but many things our society finds "normal" cause inflammation and therefore diseases.

For those who are healthy and ready to take their own health out to the world, do more for others and the Earth or have a story to tell we offer Kindfullness projects, support, editing, writing, marketing, translation and publishing.(www.hardonkarma.com)
