“Lighting Up The Garden”

Golly, would you ever think that we would capture critters and creepy crawly things, just too graft them into seedlings or inject their genes into the food we eat. Our Government and the FDA approve all of this! It’s know wonder why the largest part of the population, is obese and or ill, filled with poor nutrition, disease and bloat. It makes me sick just thinking about it. Knowing fully, you cannot go to the market, not even the health food market place or even the local farms to buy fresh produce or good quality live food any more, without it being tampered with or full of chemicals. Take a good hard look next time you walk through the produce section of your local grocer. Those beautiful red tomatoes were picked while green and unripe, then radiated to hold their shelf life, as well as for their bold red color. How about those cucumbers, you no longer can eat the skins of most veggies because they are waxed to preserve them. Most of the produce you buy is tasteless. It has little flavor and the nutrients are lost. But the real kicker is GMO; it stands for Genetically Modified Organisms or GE; Genetically Engineered foods, now found in a lot of our foods including the health food. What is it you ask? Well here are a few examples that will definitely make you think twice when you buy your French fries or guzzle your healthy shake. There are vegetables with scorpion genes, pigs with human genes, tomatoes with flounder genes, GMO cows that produce human breast milk and potatoes that glow when they need to be watered, thanks to the jellyfish gene. It all boils down to if you want to eat healthy, be healthy and live a long healthy life, we need to go back in time and grow our own food from untainted soil and water(using GMO free seeds, no chemicals and totally organic). It is having the resources to live off the land and out of our own garden, where the only light that makes our food shine is the sun. Not man, running around scooping up critters and mixing their genes in order to have bright shiny food that light up the garden.
