FASHION FOODIES GET POLITICAL

In an unexpected turn, Jean Baptiste, supermodel and NU-Food spokesperson, stepped beyond his eco-lifestyle message, commenting on governmental leaders’ profligate living and including charges of sexual improprieties and abuses These charges have resulted in Baptiste’s arrest and confinement in an area prison pending trial.

In a display of bravado, Baptiste told loyal fans to find “the new message guy.”

It turns out that the new message guy may just be Baptiste “bon ami” creator and designer for Kingdom of Dodd LLC, Joshua Kristy. When questioned early this afternoon about whether Kingdom of Dodd monies would be used for Baptiste’s defense, Kristy replied, “No comment.” But, responding to persistent questioning, Kristy finally confronted fans and reporters. What follows is the full text of his outburst.

“The state of our nation is in serious trouble. We are consuming our natural resources at an alarming rate without proper checks and balances. We are strangling ourselves with our air pollution, irrigating desert land that is unsustainable for future population growth. We poison ourselves using our precious life sustaining water in order to maximize crude oil production without considering what future generations will do.”

“My God, when will the people learn that it is not about things? It’s not about walls that separate us from one another. It’s simply all about people! People are suffering. We need medical care that will serve the needs of all people so that the blind can regain sight, the crippled can walk, the deaf can hear, that diseases will be cured or at least treated. We need an education system that is equipped to train and educate people of all ages; to meet the needs of all our children, including those who are impoverished or have disabilities that can’t be cured; not just some trumped up system that benefits the privileged few.”

“We need to reach out to the invisible people of the world. You know, the people we would rather not acknowledge in our world—those who are not treated any better than the dead—and raise them up into our world, benefiting from the gifts and ideas that they bring to our table. We need to address the oppressive conditions of poverty, the paralyzing stigmas of sexism, racism, and yes, xenophobia.”

“One of the reasons I  got involved with Kingdom of Dodd in the first place was because of Dodd’s commitment to sustainable living practices that promote better world relationships to live in. I thank Dodd and all people who stand with me in this cause and build no fence against me.”

“And now that you got me started, did you think that this was just about a photo op? Did you think that this was just a gig for a weed smoker blowing wind? Did you think that it was just about fashion? “

“This project was not about reward and profit. Jean’s wardrobe was a commitment to waging war on unhealthy living. I admire him for the stand that he has taken, and I am committing myself and all of Dodd’s kingdom resources to continue and expand what he has started. Living in our world without considering the long-term consequences of our lifestyles does violence against our world and promotes violent greed and usurpation. I’m deadly serious about this, I’m not just joshin’.”
