Yesterday, for the first time, I went to a grocery store that sells strictly organic foods, healthy chemical free foods and grass fed meats. It was really interesting...and very expensive! I bought a few things to try but I read a ton of labels! I have been under conviction to change the way our family eats. Thankfully my husband shares those feelings. We already grow our own chicken and process them our selves. This year we are also trying turkeys. I have a garden and also put up a variety of other things that are native to our area. I am going to try to grow vegetables from seeds that have NOT been genetically modified. My gardening efforts will be increased this year so that I wont have to pay for any food that I dont need to.
Our nation is filled with processed foods that are eaten up in the name of convienience. Processed foods are filled with chemicals to help hold flavor, hold color, keep food slippery, extend shelf life into the next century and not to mention taste good. We consistantly sit by and allow ourselves and our families to eat things that can potentially cause cancer, birth defects, ADHD, autism and any array of other health issues. So sad!
For my family, I say...NO MORE!! I hope you will also consider a look into the chemicals that your family is eating on a daily basis. The average child under the age of five eats eight chemicals per day. WOW!
Blessings!
