Here in the USA, it may not always be hunger that we face in our Food Security. It may be that pathogens have been allowed to enter the production process and then those foods are distributed on the market to the Public or Wh***sale vendors.

For instance, on March 2, 2010, a food recall was posted on the United States Department of Agriculture's branch website, the Food Safety and Inspection Service. The short version of the…

“The vision of my heart's desire is a gift of the Spirit, a true

perception of what now is really mine. The perfect order that

rules all things is even now adapting suitable conditions for the
