Fresh Food is ILLEGAL!

Basically, our government has made it illegal to buy food that has not been treated chemically or with heat or with potentially cancer-causing agents for our own protection.  Now, if you read Upton Sinclair's, The Jungle, you might realize that, yes, in a factory-food culture, there should be some regulations to ensure that people who eat processed food shouldn't also be eating too much rat hair and fecal matter.

But when a private group of consenting adults, committed to health and nutrition, work in private clubs with local farmers to obtain clean, fresh foods, why on earth would our government get so involved as to fine and imprison peaceful farmers.  Imagine these guys in prison.

   inmate 1:  What are you in for?
   inmate 2:  murder, you?
   inmate 1:  rape, how bout you over there?
   inmate 3: drugs, how bout you, other guy?
   farmer:  illegal milk
   inmates 1, 2, 3:  woah...  stay away from that guy, he's a menace to society!

True confessions, several years ago, someone gave us a gallon of raw milk... this guilt has plagued me all these years, and now I am so happy to finally have that weight off my shoulders.

Raiding the AMISH!?  Who raids the Amish!?  Our government.  Who is in charge of this?  A former Monsanto lawyer.  Who is Monsanto?

Monsanto developed and patented genetically modified corn and soy products that are resistant to Round Up.  They pretty much have a tight grip on all the corn, soy, etc products that are grown in the United States.  If you want to be a farmer, you are almost required to buy your seed from Monsanto, unless you want to be an organic farmer.  In this case, you can buy your seeds from whomever else, then use the seeds that are produced with your crop to produce another crop- this is how it used to be done.  But Monsanto carefully monitors organic farms for seed cleaning, a process that prepares seed to be used in the next season's crops.  They constantly harass these farmers, and anyone who practices seed cleaning.  They are a multi-billion dollar corporation and have the resources to bankrupt any farmer who wants to fight them in court.  It also might be worthy to note some of the accomplishments of Monsanto:  Agent Orange, Round Up, rGBH for milk.

There just might be a conflict of interest...

But wait, shouldn't our own government protect us from such corporations?  Shouldn't we, as consumers, have the ultimate choice in what we eat?  Well, who's in charge?  Maybe we should ask them.

FDA- Michael Taylor- Deputy for Foods and former Monsanto Lawyer
USDA- Tom Vilsack- Secretary of USDA and leading advocate for Monsanto and genetically engineered factory farming.

So, yes, it might be harder than I originally said to eat whole, fresh foods; but let me just be an advocate for your health.  Your purchases drive the market.  If you purchase more whole and fresh foods and absolutely refuse to purchase boxed, prepackaged, processed food, you will not only save money, but live healthier.

Don't get caught up in any diet craze, just keep your eyes on fresh, whole foods.  Do your own processing at home (cooking).  I have posted now several thrown together meals that don't take long and aren't hard to cook.  Do not buy diet foods, do not buy processed diet foods, do not buy processed diet foods.  Oh yeah, and experiment with increasing your protein intake, not necessarily with meat, but with beans, lentils, quinoa, etc.  Try to limit your carbohydrates (unless your running a lot)- and I don't mean eliminate, I mean limit. Make sure the carbohydrates are complex.  And finally, try different breakfast foods (I haven't had cereal in over 2 weeks, and have actually lost weight).  Finally, finally, if you eat eggs, eat the yolks too- there is a lot of nutrition in the egg yolk.

Thanks for reading!  God bless your fast!
