--> Got the above quote from a friend and couldn’t agree more. Cutting out processed food and soda will improve ones health plain and simple. Nothing fancy required, just real honest to goodness food.
On a similar note...

If farmers have
to wear suits like this to work the fields we may want to seek alternative growing options. After seeing this picture, no argument can be made
against the fact that the chemicals being used to improve crop yields just aren’t
good for our health.

I am not sure what they are spraying or what kind of a field this even is. I think anyone, even organic farmers suit up when spraying certain substances, even those deemed "organic." For example, when spraying fish oil, or copper.... both considered "organic substances for farming. All this to say that we can make a lot of assumptions but sometimes our assumptions about certain situations are wrong.

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I also do not know what they are spraying, however, I did not make a distinction between organic and synthetic chemicals in this post. I just look at this picture and can't help but feel like we're heading in the wrong direction. Perpetual mono-cropping while overloading the soil and the water table with chemicals (organic and synthetic) may prove problematic if it isn't already.
