The Nations Food Supply Is In Danger

THE DOCTOR IS IN _______________


LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Terrorism protection? Great, but don't use the agricultural scientists meant to stop pest invasions to screen for anti-terrorism suspects. When Homeland Security began using the Agriculture specialists for terrorism duty our crops in this nation have been experiencing billions of dollars in damage.

These pests that come into the country devastate our crops and they attack the fruits and vegetables that are being grown nationwide.

Here are some of the pests that are ravaging our fruits and vegetables and because of that the price of food will jump by leaps and bounds. They are:

1. The Asian citrus psyllid: Carries a disease that decimates the Florida orange groves.

2. New Zealand light brown apple moth: An invasion in California caused the government to spray the Monterey Bay area with over 1600 pounds of pesticides. The cost of eradication was a whopping $110 million dollars and it did not work at all. Plus, the spraying caused thousands of people to complain of respiratory problems.

3. The sweet orange scab: is a fungal disease that destroys citrus. It hit crops in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and Mississippi.

4. The erythrina gall wasp: destroyed Hawaii's wiliwili trees. These are the trees that produce seeds that make leis.

5. Beetles that arrived in Chinese ships had destroyed forests from Minnesota and across the Northeast.

Folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We need our agriculture inspectors to remain scanning and screening our nations food supply. We have enough Homeland Security inspectors to work on the terrorism problem. If we lose our food supply, terrorists will be the least of our problems. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
