Food, Food Everywhere, Not a Crumb to Eat

Category: Recommendation

I’ve realized in the last little while that we have been surrounded by toxin-saturated, processed food for so long, we’ve forgotten how bad it is. Practically every food in the grocery store contains toxins that are poison to our bodies, even most veggies and fruits! In addition, I’ve been told by people from other countries that our food tastes bland compared to theirs.

If you are truly motivated to protect your health and sharply reduce your risk of breast cancer as well as other cancers, you will want to make the effort to purchase organically produced fruits, vegetables, and grains at every opportunity.

As the body becomes more acidic, to protect against the event of heart attack, stroke, illness, or even cancer, the body attempts to remain healthy. So, it steals calcium from the bones, teeth, and tissue. As bone mass becomes depleted, this is what we call osteoporosis.

Organic foods have been grown without the use of harmful synthetic chemical pesticides, and fertilizers.

Preach it, brother.

And while you're at it, organic free-trade coffee. Gotta do it.

I totally agree. But it is SO hard to stay away from the toxic crap food. It is EVERYWHERE! My girlfriend and I buy organic foods from a place here in Bartlesville, it gets really expensive because we are in the middle of nowhere.

So true. I've been on a primarily whole foods organic diet for a year now, and just a day or two off of it, eating processed foods, can throw my system completely out of whack. What God created is good....why do we spend so much time trying to make it not good?

Local farmers markets are good, and if you're in the GR area - check out Trillium Haven in Jenison.

My friends and I have also started doing group grocery runs to stores like Trader Joe's, which has great prices on organic foods, but isn't local to GR.....so when you take 3-4 grocery lists & one car, you can make it worth the trip.

Just a few suggestions.
