One Less Nuke Plant to Worry About since Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant is closing.

Bottled Water Industry Guilty of Greenwashing when they’re one of the biggest polluters and causes of pollution on the planet. Just look at the Plastic Island the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and you know this is a major greenwash.

Grow Raw Food Organically

Many childhood ailments and chronic adult diseases have been linked to pesticide residue, including cancer. Genetically modified corn has now been linked to organ damage in humans, and to Bee Colony Collapse Disorder. Veterinarians have also documented more cancer in pets since the introduction of genetically modified corn into pet foods. Chemicals and genetically modified foods shouldn’t be a part of our diet. They were never meant to be.

Switch to organic produce and you have a nutritionally sound diet that tastes good and is good for you, without the downside of chemical or genetic contamination. There are other benefits. Organic food is nutritionally more dense, since there isn’t as much water content. This means that the same amount of organic food fills you up more. It also tastes better, richer. But supermarket organic produce is not the answer either. Most of it has been picked days, or even weeks ago! It comes from a farm a great distance away, sometimes halfway around the globe.

What’s the answer? Grow Raw Food Organically yourself. It isn’t that hard to do. Even if you don’t have a yard, you can grow your own raw food. Patios and balconies can be used for container growing, and many food items can grow on windowsills. You can also sprout seeds for fresh greens.

What are the additional benefits to homegrown raw food? The raw food you harvest out of your own garden is fresh picked the day you use it, rather than picked days, or even weeks before you buy it, like the grocery store versions! The raw food you harvest out of your own garden requires nothing more than your two feet to transport it to your kitchen, it doesn’t come from half a world away. And the raw food you harvest hasn’t been processed in a packing plant and subject to contamination with e coli or salmonella.

Sustainable Organic Vegetable Gardening

With the alarm raised about Genetically Modified (GMO) corn causing organ damage to humans, knowing that corn is in almost every packaged food in the supermarket, and the e coli issues with factory farmed spinach and tomatoes and other foods that are supposed to be healthy and aren’t, I’m sure that you’re thinking, as I am, that maybe the organic craze isn’t so crazy after all. We all want to feed our families GOOD HEALTHY FOOD. Sustainable Organic Vegetable Gardening is healthier for humans and animals and better for Mother Earth. Humans have been cultivating food organically for tens of thousands of years, it’s only the last few decades that organic growing has been erroneously and unhealthily supplanted by petrochemical methods. This is one case where they shouldn’t have fixed something that wasn’t broken!

Learn how Sustainable Organic Vegetable Gardening can help both you and Mother Earth retain and/or regain your health.

Grow your own organic food

There’s been a lot in the news about our unsafe food processing plants. What people are just now realizing is that it doesn’t matter if the food is “processed” or not. Some of the foods that should be the healthiest for us, foods like raw lettuce, carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes, spinach and broccoli, are often contaminated with dangerous strains of e coli and salmonella during packaging.

What’s the solution?
