They were active and able to do for themselves until the very end. They were raised on farms, ate vegetables and fruit straight from the garden and orchard (organic), drank milk form their cows, ate eggs, red meat and poultry they raised (organic), drank well water, etc. They worked hard, played hard, and walked a lot. They were never obese, diabetic, etc. Their children grew up and moved to the cities, where they had their children. It was then that chemicals started being added to our food supply, packaged in aluminum, and the new television promoted convenient TV dinners to housewives who were beginning to seek employment away from home. Increased exposure to environmental pollutants in household cleaners, skin care products and other sources began to bombard our immune systems. The occurrence of birth defects, learning disabilities, cancers and chronic diseases increased. My grand-mothers died 20 years younger than their mothers, and suffered the last 30 years of their lives with chronic illness. My mother had a triple bypass at the age of 55 and is struggling daily with chronic illness at the age of 65. I am 49 and have been chronically ill for the past 30 years. I don’t need any scientific research to tell me what I already know. I used to eat processed food and drink sodas, because that is what I was taught. I learned this lesson the hard way, “Eat your food as close to the way God made it as you can get it, and you will be well”. I wish I knew 40 years ago, what I know now. My father always said, “Too soon old, and too late smart”. Repeated misdiagnosis, processed food and pharmaceutical drugs almost killed me! I looked at nature - Wild life teaches us much about how to live. For example: Seagulls who live over the open ocean consume the nutrition God intended. Seagulls who live at the city dump and eat what we throw away develop tumors and die younger. I have no doubt that eating processed food gave me all the permanent health problems I suffer with today. Eating whole fresh organic fruits, vegetables, meats and grains these past 25 years has helped my immune system to heal and reversed much of the damage that was caused by chemical laden processed foods and beverages, skin care products, environmental toxins and pharmaceutical drugs. Going back to consuming foods in their most natural form, is the only reason I am still alive. That is no exaggeration! I AM a walking science experiment. If we don’t learn from our mistakes, we are bound to repeat them and teach them to our children. My children are adopted, because I lost 4 pregnancies. Also the result of chemicals and chronic illness. My children eat organic, whole food and enjoy optimal health. They don’t get colds, the flu, infections, etc. I don’t allow them to eat processed food and they have been taught the wisdom my great-grandmother grew up with and that I have learned later in life. My great-grandmother argued with her children and grand-children about what real food is. Why? Because she cared and in her wisdom, she knew what healthy food should look and taste like, and about nutrition. That is the same reason why I, and so many others promote good nutrition; because we care about YOU. The single most important thing you do every day is feed yourself and your family. Every meal, snack and beverage is either nourishment or poison to your cells. Unhealthy cells can only reproduce more of the same. They contain the genetics that will affect future generations. You are not just feeding yourself and your children, but your great-great-grandchildren. I used to work in an Aluminum Forging plant in Oxnard California that was located next to a Bromide producing plant. Every now and then while at work we would start having breathing problems and our eyes would start watering and burning because of Bromide getting caught in pressurized lines and them releasing it into the air from release valves. Kaiser would have to sound an alert for all employee’s to exit to the side of the building that the wind wasn’t blowing. This would happen several times quarterly. Bromide is also used as an insecticide on strawberries and other coastal fruits. In my opinion, it is responsible for many deaths around the world and should have been scrubbed the moment it was conceived. It seems to me , as the old saying goes “we are dammed if we do and dammed if we don’t ” not so long ago if we ate the unprocessed foods we were safe, and leave the processed alone as it had been played with and was more chemical than real food. The rub is as we are a people’s who have been coddled and made lazy in our eating habits and choices it is not surprising that we are accepting this stuff. Ask a starving man, will he accept a plate of red green yellow and blue rings floating in a dish of modified soy. Oh yes as for round up weed stuff, have a drink next time you are training at the gym ,instead of power aid. It is only a strong drink of concentrated salt. Yes it has made some land unusable in some ways but as in all things moderation is the key for land and the human body. Yep we do die eventually , I am a 68 year old and still active. i don’t wanna give up my kid cuisine! Frankentrees are being created by the same folks crying about GMO’s. You know, one fruit tree that produces five types of fruits? And all the hippies? They cry about Monsanto but cross AK47 with Purple Haze, etc. thereby genetically modifying organisms. The same folks saying corporations and governments are trying to kill them are in a rush to give up MY guns and repeal the second amendment, lol. You simply cannot take anybody seriously anymore. what exactly are we supposed to eat? apparently everything in the grocery store is going to kill us…..all i know is this: when i give my oldest foods with certain dyes in them (like red #40) she bounces off the walls for hours. it can’t be healthy. Interesting to me that all these things are killing us, but truth is, in general, the life span of humans in first world countries is increasing. It isn’t that diseases are necessarily new, it is that we now have the science and intelligence to diagnose.  Everything we breathe, touch, consume is killing us slowly. Why not enjoy it while we’re here? If these were so dangerous, then the FDA would have banned them. Quit being such alarmists, and quit spreading pseudoscience. Prevention, prevention, prevention. Eat Whole foods,organic when possible. Buy local. Know where your food comes from. Exercise daily. Get your much needed sleep. Connect with your neighbors, friends, family regularly. Be purposeful and practice gratitude DAILY. Relax, meditate and learn the art of breathing slowly. Pushing against the government, Illuminati, Monsanto, and all the other ‘cowards’ who fail to recognize that LOVE of self leads to LOVE and care towards others, well it just isn’t going to create change and just makes me feel helpless. Not the way I choose to go. I feel very sorry for those who can’t find their hearts.
