This article was sent to me by a Blessings sister. Please . . . read it. This is not about economics (though it is). This is about the survival of our species. I’ve been following this subject for over 40 years and I’m grateful that it’s finally coming into the consciousness of popular media.
Getting Real About the High Price of Cheap Food
Every time you put a piece of food in your mouth you are making a choice. Every time go to a restaurant or fast food place you are making a choice. Every time you buy food or drink at a grocery or other store you are making a choice. You have more power than you know.
Please . . . read it.
I guess, like the article said, I had visions of cattle wandering fields and pigs running freely at a small farm. Not animals packed so tightly they can’t move while they stand in their own waste. YUCKY. My dad has had some health issues with his heart and terrible migraines (which I also have, yay). He switched to organic meats and has actually felt much better. I’ll have to read that article again when I get a fast food craving! It certainly kept me away today.
It’s not your fault. We drifted into this style of food production gradually and it started before you were born. You grew up learning your cultural norms (like everyone) and until now, no one has taught you a better way. Bravo that you’re willing to transform the way you eat. You’re helping you and your family stay healthy and strong and beautiful!
Very eye opening. Makes me ill to think about all the chemicals i’ve eaten and fed to my children. Will be changing my shopping habits pronto!
