60. An Native American...

philosophical point of reference.

You eat with gratitude whatever you have. If you were lucky to shoot a deer, duck, catch a fish or kill a rabbit, one says a prayer asking the creature to forgive the taking of his life but that he will live on in you and your family. In our tribal philosophy, you are what you eat. Long before we knew about amino acids or atoms, there was an understanding that the food you ate was the building blocks to your life and the future of your childrens lives.

So do you really trust these scientists to create something better than what has evolved in nature. They have designed something before we have said there was a problem and let it lose before they knew what it was. For year farmers have used nature to be the scientist and genetic engineer. We make hundreds of types of cat food, but nothing is more easily digested or more perfect for a cat than a mouse. Do you really want Monsanto to supply your building blocks. And I especially do not like the fact that they refuse to allow me to have a choice in the matter. They want to cram it down my throat. It has failed in Europe and if this wasn't such a damned corpocracy, it would fail here too.

I had slowly phasing out many products and replacing them with certified organics. Hubby and I made the transition to organics but I have had the damnedest time getting non GMO corn. I am afraid our food supply is already contaminated. High fructose corn syrup is out. Cornmeal is problematic, thus polenta, corn bread and muffins, etc. And unless the corn is from Bradah farm....forget it.
