I shop organic to protect our health. you know, the government allows so much garbage into the food sources now days and say its safe to consume.

I remember when I was a young lady and they came out with a product called saccharin. They said it wouldn't harm you and it was safe as can be. then 10 years after it was on the market and people were dying. they were like, Oh we made a mistake. it causes cancer.

Now I can't count how many times they have done this. So I like to stay on the safe side and eat what I know is healthy for me and not what the government Say's won't hurt me.

that's it in a nutshell. Health, I want my family to live. I don't want to be eating some pesticide on my food that the government said was ok and in 2 years of eating it find out it causes brain tumors.

Kind of like my husband. he has Agent Orange exposure from Vietnam. Yes, they told the guys it was harmless. So harmless that my hubby's buddies where having water gun fights with it. They are dead now.

My hubby loaded it into the planes. He almost died and has serious health problems from it. He is a service connected disabled Veteran.

Now the government that said it was harmless, is saying " if you even stepped you foot off the plane on Vietnam soil" , then you were exposed to Agent Orange. And you wouldn't believe the list of cancers the government says it causes now.

Isn't it odd, one minute it is ok for us and the next minute it isn't. Funny how our government works, isn't it? I think I will chose door "B" Organic foods. that is the only way I know it is safe. I can't trust my government to say it is safe, now can I?

thank you for this post. it is something I have been wanting to get off my chest for many years. It is an important topic. one that should be addressed more often then it is. If the people that eat all those bad foods only knew what we all know. The world would be a better place. we would have less disease too.
