It is so incredible what is considered food today! I have always had a passion for whole, healthy food. I remember as a teenager buying my own healthy food. Believe you me when I tell you I ate my share of junk! Today it is just unreal what the government is passing off as safe for human consumption. The genetically modified food, food treated with pesticides, hydrogenated oil, high fructose corn syrup, growth hormone, dyes, preservatives. I'm not going to quote statistics or ramble on, but think to back to when you were a kid. It wasn't at all common for a middle aged person to die of cancer and defiantly not a child. Very few people had Autism or mental illness. Obesity was rare and people just wernt as sick!
The connection has to be our food. It makes sense, as that is what has changed the most!
NOW: What do we do about it? This is my biggest question. I, like most of you, live on a limited income. My grocery budget is meager at best. How do I afford to feed my family a healthy diet? I am still in the process of doing my research, and have not developed the answer yet.
I am starting with growing my own veggies and some fruit. I have learned to can. I am raising my own chickens for eggs and my own pigs. I buy from local farmers and find out what they use to feed there animals. I bake a lot more and buy less processed food, which is less expensive. Although baking takes time.
Your food should spoil! If it won't spoil its NOT good for you!
My family deserves to be healthy without going broke to get there! I will succeed! Keep checking in for updates. :)
