On a recent trip to the grocery store, I took the time to not only do my usual food label reading but to try to smell the produce.
I picked up a bunch of organic bananas and was pleasantly surprised, they actually smelled like bananas, like the ones I grew up eating, while the regular bananas had no aroma that I could detect.
The organic apples had a great smell of the apples like those grown decades ago had. Same thing happened with the organic oranges, they smelled as if I went back in time. Now the regular apples and oranges either did not have an aroma or smelled of something other than what they were supposed to smell like.
The more a person researches the more they find out about what they are searching for answers about. We are told that we need to consume vegetables and fruit to be and remain healthy.
We know that what ever a plant grows in will effect the “fruit” of the plant, so it makes sense that the “fruit” will have in it what is put on the plant or on the soil.
This is old school, now we have GMO or Genetically Modified Organism to deal with.
What are GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms”? They are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding.
Does this sound like something you should be eating?
Basically all commercial GMOs are designed to be able to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or manufacture its own insecticide. The industry says that the GMO features on the market does not; increase yield, drought resistance, increase nutrition or benefit the consumer in any other way.
As more studies are completed it becomes clear that there is a growing connection between GMOs and health problems, damage to the environment and violation of consumer and farmer rights.
Let’s see, are GMOs safe to consume? GMOs are not considered to be safe by most of the developed countries. All countries in the European Union, Australia and Japan to name a few of the more than 60 countries worldwide that have strict restrictions or downright bans on sale or production of GMOs.
Here’s the interesting part, the corporations that made the GMOs did the studies that they in turn provided the government with so that the GMOs would be approved and amazingly enough the GMOs were approved by the U.S. government.
It appears that the corporations that make the GMOs think that they are so wonderful that they threaten a law suit when a state tries to make it mandatory to list the GMO ingredients on the food product label.
Now when a company doesn’t want an ingredient or ingredients listed on the label that really throws up a gigantic red flag hollering “WTF, This cannot be healthy for us to consume this, the company doesn’t even believe its own advertising.”
How long did the creator of the GMOs think they could hide the truth from the public?
I’ve noticed a lot more cases of food allergies and intolerance to several foods over the last 20+ years compared to the years before the GMOs.
When it comes to organic, basically it means that the crops were produced without any irradiation, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge,genetically modified organisms or prohibited pesticides.
Now we come to animals, eggs, poultry and dairy products that are labeled organic, this means that the animal was healthy and not abused or mistreated, they had free access to the outside, 100% organic feed, NO growth hormones or antibiotics were used.
We all know at least down deep we know that in order to remain healthy we need good high quality food, free of chemical enhancers and additives, chemical preservatives, antibiotics, growth hormones and this all I could think of.
Good Food produced/grown the way Mother Nature intended it to be, without the corporation additives to add more profit to their bottom line.
