Organic trash talk





There sure has been a lot of talk about GMO's, organic foods and whether or not they truly make a difference.  I recently became aware of a study put out by Stanford that claimed there is little to no difference between organic and non-organic food.  No, I didn't read the study.  I wouldn't waste my time.

Organic food is taking a serious bashing recently.  And there is a good reason why.  With all the recent chatter on GMO(Genetically Modified) foods and organic/and or healthy eating on the rise, big business is scared.  Well, let's just call big business what it is...companies like Monsanto.  Monsanto doesn't want consumers aware of the health benefits of eating organic or avoiding GMO's.  That would put them out of business.  Not to mention, their goal of globally dominating the food supply would take a serious hit.  I'm such a conspiracy theorist...or not.



Here is why I'm telling you this.  I don't want anyone to be fooled by the media or the so called studies.  For me personally, it all comes down to common sense.  You can find a study or statistics to back up just about any side of an argument.  That's where you use the brain and intuition that God gave you and you discern the truth from lies.

On one side we have processed, chemically treated and lab created food.  On the other we have organic, dirty(in a good way) and unaltered food.  Not to mention who the proceeds of the sale goes to.  Common sense tells me to choose the latter.

Can organic "stuff" get hyped?  Sure it can.  Are there organic companies who may lie about their products and fool consumers?  Probably so.  This is where YOU come in and use your best judgement.  But one thing that I am convinced of is that your chances are much better off with the organic side of things.  With that said, there is evil lurking everywhere, we need to use wisdom as to not be blind to it.

Control of the food supply can make or break us as a people.  We must maintain control so that we can have access to clean and safe food.  Buy local, healthy and organic as much as you possibly can and never forget to discern the truth from lies.  They are not going to stop this battle anytime soon.  It will only get worse.  Your health, your children's health and the dirt underneath your feet are depending on YOU and I to make the right choices.
