A million people! And that number keeps climbing each year! A new million people will die this year! And that is just in the US!!!! And yet people who are in that danger zone feel helpless and apathetic towards change. Well, for me, enough is enough!!!! I am tired of fast food $#&*! (sorry!) I have been cleansing for 36 days now and I have lost 24 pounds to date! I feel awesome!<br /><br />For our anniversary this weekend, Josh and I are putting together an organic veggie garden. And I bought myself a whole foods recipe book to complement with my garden!<br /><br />As I am changing my eating lifestyle, I feel like I am changing myself entirely and it feels sooooo good! Kudos to all who work hard everyday to make the world less toxic! <br /><br />I am creating "waves" in my household about this topic, and I'll be honest--I secretly like the controversy ;) Because I know I am right this time........Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101229264830433271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759463498111332893.post-41031495862267253712009-04-24T02:34:00.000-07:002009-04-24T02:34:00.000-07:00Have you read Animal Vegetable Miracle? I'll bet ...Have you read Animal Vegetable Miracle? I'll bet so, but you'll love it!<br /><br />We may need to spend a little more on food and less on something else in life to salvage our health and local economies. Shopping organic at farmer's market, growing our own garden and composting. We are working on that this year. I am really concerned about plastics- tupperware, baggies, plates, cups, bottles... It's crazy that stores sell "salads in a bag." So much waste is produced in our food consumption that it's boggling. A good blog that outlines ways to get started in producing what we can in our homes and yards is www.backyardfarming.blogspot.com <br /><br />Anyway small improvements for our family- we only purchase organic milk and eggs. We haven't lobbied for our kids school to use organic milk yet though. We go really light on the meat- don't really eat it. And I carry a "green" waterbottle instead of using bottled waters. We also do not clean with toxic chemicals- just natural cleaners. Small starts- but it's something.<br /><br />Mark and I recently did some startling reading about the north Pacific gyres of trash. Tons of plastics collecting in the Pacific-releasing microscopic toxins into the food supply and ocean water. It's the world's dirty little secret...massive dumps at sea.<br /><br />It's depressing, BUT the cool thing is that there is so much a family can do to significantly cut back the toxic exposure. We can all do something today!<br /><br />It's time for the slow food movement to take over the fast food movement!Patriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021341985941708071noreply@blogger.com
