"Organic" Farming and the True Cost of Food-A Small Farmers Perspective

[2naSalit]

89. I do the same

as much as possible. Unfortunately right now I'm dealing with the medical industrial complex by way of workers' comp-and that's a joke since it's a spinal injury and I have yet to have them order an MRI or even x-rays... after four months. Had to get an attorney to make them do their damned job.

But I digress...

I do make a number of my own remedies for pain, skin issues, and general all around fix what ails me stuff which also includes a healthy, mostly organic and naturally grown foods diet.

What a lot of people don't know about a lot of store-bought produce, especially berries and short shelf life items, is that it's not just GMO and heavy on the pesticides, it's also irradiated... can't wash that off either.

I hauled produce for many years and what I saw in the fields before that stuff went on my trailer made me not want to eat anything that came in a package. My mom had a garden at nearly every place we lived and I was not a fan of anything that didn't come from our garden. So shoppers beware, what you don't know about your food supply is what you have no power to change. Irradiated tomatoes and most everything else, including your dairy products, have been irradiated so that it lasts longer, but it also changes the molecular level nutrition... food for thought. I suspect that industry funded research is even addressing that question, and I question some of the research due to funding sources... especially after I went to college in the late 90s.
