Boycotting: Monsanto a.k.a. The Devil
Now, me boycotting something is not new and neither is boycotting Monsanto (which is almost impossible unless you totally drop out, never buy another thing and eat only from your yard). However, when I see something that warrants being mentioned I have to pass it on. I never know when just the right article might make the light go on for someone else.
I would not be so pessimistic that people have to “drop out” to avoid Monsanto’s products and other bad corporate products from their
lives. Of course one can,and I do, garden as much of my food as I can. But also, attending local farmer’s markets(and asking if their
foods are organic is always a good idea!) . Reading as much as possible about what to avoid helps as well as simply living a simpler life
helps. Buying products that are nutural and not from the above listed corprations makes a heck of a lot of sense. We consumers need to
vote our consciences with our dollars. Other steps we can all take:
>Find a local grass fed dairy that only sells raw dairy products and support them will ALL your dairy purchases. You can almost be assured that you will never drink another rbh tainted dairy product again and you will be making an investment in your health. I have been on raw dairy for over a year and
feel SO much better without allergies anymore. It is the first time in my life I have been able to actually drink milk. I have very bad reactions to pasteurized milk, even organic.
>Always buy organic when possible.
>Avoid GM crops like they were produced by the devil. They actually may have been(Monsanto)!
>Communicate shocking info about Monsanto(and there is plenty there to be shocked about) with as many people as will listen.
> I fully recommend the book “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon. Excellent book on fallacies of modern health advice and getting back
to a truly more natural food lifestyle.
>Simply avoid most restaurants as they are replete with products made by Monsanto and other evil corprations(GM foods, high fructose
corn syrup(GM made of course), trans fats, and meats and vegetable awash in pesticides and bought mainly on price point,not quality.
Well ,enough fo rnow. Good luck!!
