Red Pill or Blue Pill?

When you or your family comes down with cancer or anouther illness because of food that should have been free of toxins then will you stop to think? I think if you can spend time on the net a few moments at the store looking at what's in the food wouldn't hurt.

Personally I don't trust the sources of this information. I am just not a doomsday person.

I guess i'd have to agree with you Debi...not much we can REALLY do is there?

You could get an ulcer over it, or spend money none of us have on specialty raised meats and produce. I just choose not to let trivial things (to me) give me ulcers! I have too much calcium in my water where I live. Am I gonna worry about kidney stones?? Nope. I buy bottled water - done with.

In fact, I do believe I have expended enough energy on this.

To me, Monsanto is beyond evil, and has been for many years. You don't have to look very hard to see the harm they are doing. As in almost everything, the best vote you have is where you spend your money.

According to my 10 year old...
The red pill got him out and the blue pill got him into the Matrix.

LOL...figures I would goof up the two!

I would take the 10 year old's word for it.

Simple changes that we as a family have done:
we no longer but food with added art.food coloring and flavors.
We no longer buy food with additives like BHT.
We cook from scratch those items we can't find.
We buy organic foods more, banana's and carrots are just ad few cents more and taste better,
we cut down on meat consumption and don't but lunch meats.
We shop at our local market,we buy local honey from wild flowers not ones that were around gmo crops.

To tell you the truth my kids don't seem to mind.I never did trust bright colored cereals, rainbows in the morning, Ha!I'm never happy when it comes to waking up

DH and I have taken the red pill. Neither of us are particularly fond of Monsanto or ConAgra (or similar companies). I am not going to get into all the issues we have with them. Family farming, etc is one thing, but the big commercial ag. system that we have nowadays, is completely different and the small farmers suffer because of it.

We try to garden as much as we can, go to the local farmer's markets, raise our own chicken for meat and eggs, etc. Eventually, we would love to have our own off-the-grid, self-sustainable property, but that is not for a while. So, for now, we do what we can, support the ones we like and grin and bear the rest. DH gets OCAs newsletter, which often has petitions on many of these issues (we do not support all, of course. We must all do our own homework and make our own decisions).
