The plan
There are two problems.
The short-term problem is that our current food system is deficient in the microbes which form our gut biome and essential minerals which have led to an epidemic of chronic or non-infectious diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
The longer-term problem is our current food system relies on the exploitation of finite resources, particularly water, which is aggravated by climate change and shortages of key minerals which are being exhausted. Phosphorous is the most urgent.
Riddle
Look around the world and back over time and you will see the great riddle of three communities.
We see low tech communities with a poor food system, lack of hygiene and medical support where people die before their natural life from infectious diseases. This is clearly bad
We see rich high tech communities with a sophisticated food system, good hygiene and medical support and where people die before their natural life from non-infectious or chronic diseases.

The Gbiota process of breeding beneficial gut microbes starts in the soil where the conditions are controlled so the beneficial microbes out-breed and out-compete the harmful microbes.
This is called Eco-balance which is how the world has worked for billions of years.
This is why you don’t find polar bears in the Sahara desert or antelopes in the Arctic. They each require their specific conditions to breed, if those conditions are met they successfully breed and become the dominant creature and if those conditions are not met they are out-bred.
Adoption
This web is in two parts, the easy bit and the really hard bit.
The easy bit
The easy bit is the technology. Healthy plants need a balanced combination of nutrients, water and air.
Nutrients are easy, all you need to understand is that organic waste, our basic input, already contains a lot of nutrients but will need topping up with essential trace minerals which are found in abundance in volcanic rock dust and you may need a bit of dolomite or calcium to balance the pH.
Applying technology
With all our modern technology and automated production capacity, we should only need to work a couple of days a week to have everything we need and live a healthy life right to the end of our natural life.
But we are not so what went wrong? There is nothing wrong with the technology – we just don’t know how to apply it for the benefit of the community.

Technology
I do hold this belief that technology should work for the benefit of the community and it is not. It may be making a handful of people rich beyond imagination but are the benefits of this technology flowing through to the community – I think not.
Is it good that we develop technology so military people can sit in armchair comfort to kill women and children with remote-controlled drones?
Recycle
The global food crisis is not some threat for the future, it is here right now, it is not just about poor people starving in some remote country it is about people in rich countries suffering from chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and dementia.
It is man-man made, if you face having a leg amputated it is a direct result of the food crisis – the wrong sort of food from our modern food system.
Serious think about food
Has the world gone mad?
We have mega companies spending billions of dollars on advertising so we buy food that makes us fat and sick and die before our time.
Then we have other big companies that spend billions of dollars on advertising so we buy pills that are supposed to stop us getting fat and sick and dying before our time.
So I wrote a hip-hop E-book called ‘A serious think about food’. This hip-hop E-book is like
Think smarter
I want to sell you a concept. It is free you don’t have to pay me anything but you do have to think seriously about it for five minutes and getting anyone to devote five minutes to thinking is a challenge in these modern times.
There are a number of steps to this thinking, the first one is the difference between conscious and subconscious thinking.
