Ever since our Food for Life Class, watching Forks Over Knives and reading the book Veganist I have been buying Organic and Local as much as possible. Now just tonight I watched another documentary called Fresh. Wow, I am still always shocked and amazed at how little people know about where their food comes from. Until I started educating myself I didn't know either. But once you know I feel like you have to act. Yea, yea all well and good so here are some tips on what I have done with my family. First of all I choose to say NO to these big corporate farms with my debit card. If I choose not to buy meat and dairy and only purchase Organic and Local. I am sending a huge message. And I would much rather know that my greens were not shipped 1/2 way across the country. Visit those Farmer's Markets. Ask questions, educate yourself. No one is going to do it for you. God help's those who help themselves.
That documentary (Fresh) really moved me. I was in tears at parts. And believe me I am no animal lover. But I can not stand to see animals and our great land treated in such a way. What are we thinking as a nation?
So I challenge you to read books, read labels, read whatever you can get your hands on and ask yourself......
