Random Thoughts

When I cook I try to use fresh or homemade ingredients instead of canned or prepackaged when ever possible. I am a believer that all of the preservatives put in foods and the chemicals in fertilizer are the main sources of major disease and other health problems.

I have found that my over active son is more in control when his diet is restricted from prepackages foods and meats raise with growth hormones. That there is proof enough for me that the things added to our food alters the human body in ways we have no control over.

I grow and raise a lot of our food. What I do not grow or raise I purchase from local farmers that do not use commercial fertilizers or growth hormones. Nothing tastes better than fresh eggs, meat, fruits and vegetables. Since we can not grow a lot of stuff year around I either freeze it or can it so that we can eat it through the winter. This not only keeps us from not eating preservative but it tastes so much better.

I like to purchase local because I believe in supporting my community not the large corportations. I also like knowing how my food was grown and what was added to it (nothing). Do you know what is in your food? Do you know who handled your food?
