my thinking is i cant afford not to buy organic. the costs for poisonous gmo products is obvious when you look at the destruction of the land, health problems, birth defects, cancer, autoimmune disorders.. the list goes on. glyphosate is an insidious poison and actually interferes with the soil microorganisms so the plants can not take up the minerals they need and it destroys all of these nutrients and microorganisms that are so vital to our health. the bees and butterflies are almost gone. do you know einstein said we couldnt last more than 2 years as a species without the bees?
we are not being told the truth about these poisons, and now they just approved agent orange to be sprayed along with the glyphosate on crops. every year, they have to spray more and more because the bugs and weeds are resistant. only a human is stupid enough to keep doing the same thing over and over when what they are doing is not working.
glyphosate was actually originally patented as a fungicide and you can read more about all of these studies coming out on mercola . com they also did some research linking all of the problem people are having with wheat to the glyphosate, i know if i eat conventional wheat i have digestive problems which i dont have when i eat organic, so we very rarely eat gmo wheat.
its also been shown that our gut microflora, which are vital for us to get anything of value out of our food, is destroyed by eating gmo products. this is why so many people are obese and cant stop eating, they arent getting any nutrition out of the food. we buy as much organic as possible and dont shop at the regular grocery store or buy conglomerate foods.
we pay 30 dollars for 40 pound bags of ranch way organic which is based in colorado. there are also buying clubs which you can get discounts for buying in bulk on line. you could order bulk organic grains seperately and then mix them. you could also ferment your feed, which we do, which makes it last alot longer and its healthier for them too. they also get other things like seasonal veggies, i mix lentils, split peas, wheat berries and oats in as well as boss. you can try health food stores which give discounts on bulk such as natural grocers also. giving your chickens a variety of food is more natural for them and they will be happier and healthier and it can also help you save money. you can even go to restaurants or health food stores and ask for kitchen scraps for chickens. many times they will give them to you.
fermenting is easy and ours only has a small bread smell to it if you stick your head in the bucket. the flies stay away from our chickens even though we have them around our other animals. we are actually going to start fermenting feed for our goats as well and give them a small amount along with their hay and grazing.
our health insurance is eating well and enjoying our positive contribution to the world. i would rather spend a little extra money on food then pay out the nose for crappy western medicine which doesnt even help anyway. plus our quality of life is better. we are not kept functionally ill from chronic issues and feel good.
we are at a crossroads as a species and will eliminate ourselves if we dont change what we are doing. its up to us as people who already want to take a step in the right direction to demand with our dollars a healthy happy life and support farmers who are growing organic grains.
i talked to the people at beeler who raise heritage pigs and they do their best to get non gmo grains and notice a difference in the health of their animals when they cant get them. the more of us who demand better food, the more farmers will start growing the way they used to. their yields are down for the gmo crops compared to organic and they are losing alot of money to monsanto. we need to encourage them to do the right thing and ask for non gmo. more and more farmers are growing non gmo for these very reasons. the prices will go down the more people start growing. this is already happening, if you look at the stats on how much is being spent on and how many people want non gmo. we can create this change with our dollars, for that is the only thing these companies care about. this is why it is vital to support non gmo and organic. our very lives depend on it.
disease is not normal or natural. we have been conditioned to think it is. disease only comes about from imbalance and poisons. its natural to be healthy and to feel good. we have to stop buying these lies. do we deserve to be poisoned and lied to just for some profits? i dont think so.
how important is quality of life to someone? its everything and we have to remember we can have that. we are what we eat. if you are not as healthy as you would like to be, change what you are eating and drinking. i didnt even mention the ground water being poisoned as well. how long can anyone go without water? a day? i choose to live in a beautiful world with bees and butterflies and food that is nutritious and good for you.
buying organic is not just a personal choice, its a choice that affects everyone all over the world. if you look at whats happening in south america and all the birth defects and illness around any giant gmo producer, it will make you think twice and make more of an effort to be able to afford organic. we can create the lives we want and we can decide, we just have to let go of the resistance and judgment which keeps us from having things we may feel are unattainable. anything is possible if you believe it is. life is a self fulfilling prophecy.
these are my feelings and i am glad you brought this up to be talked about. its not right we as individuals should be forced to make these decisions, when it can be difficult, but such is life and we can rise to the challenge and turn it all around. humans have just as much potential for beauty and happiness as they do in creating destruction. its just a choice.
