The show "Food, Inc." was on tv again last night. I couldn't stomach watching it again.
We have a few organic stores here, and I'm noticing more of the food has a label that says 'non-gmo.'
I even bought some popcorn at Sams that had non-gmo real big on the bag. That's one way to handle it, if companies won't label what IS gmo, then competitors can sell more by labeling NON.
I feel really bad about my middle daughter. She is overweight, and can't lose no matter what. I think it is because when she was little she had continual ear infections and we kept her on antibiotics. Her favorite food was corn and she ate a lot of it. Oh boy, if I had only known. At least my future grandkids will be raised on better food.
We buy a quarter of a beefalo each year, and a friend sells us half a hog, and they are organic. I'm trying to tear myself away from my flowers and grow veggies. We eat no grains and very little sugar. I spent two years on chemotherapy infusions trying to handle my multiple autoimmune diseases. Once I changed my diet, (and went through chelation), most of the symptoms abated. Most importantly, the brain fog lifted. My rheumatologist is in disbelief, but I am certain the gmos, grains, heavy metal exposure, and high fructose corn sugar were totally to blame.

I've become a preacher on the safe food issue. It sickens me to see how unhealthy our country is, and to think of how it happened and what the future looks like .
Drive through Kansas sometime. Look at the irrigated gmo corn fields, the feedlots, the slaughterhouse. We need to find a better source of income for a lot of people in order to change what's happening.
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
