“Health Foods”
You think you’re being healthy by buying so called health foods, but do
you really know what they’re made of? Weight Watchers, Lean Cuisine, Healthy
Choice, V8, Snackwells, Powerbar, Luna, Smart Ones, Morningstar, Green Giant,
Ocean Spray, and Quaker are just a few examples of the major brands who still
use and support genetically modified organisms (GMO’s). You’ve probably heard
about GMO’s, but do you realize these foods continue to alter your DNA even
after you stop consuming them??
What does GMO mean?
…Buffalo who had been eating cotton for 8 years all die within 3 days
of eating gmo cotton, Death rates double in chickens eating gmo’s, Thousands of
sheep die within 30 days after switching to gmo cotton and autopsies show
severe inflammation and black patches in both intestines and liver, Rats
develop bleeding stomachs and die after eating gmo tomatoes for 2 weeks, Most
baby rats died after mothers fed gmo soy, Thousands of pigs/cows/bulls/rats are
now sterile after consuming gm corn……
Genetically Modified Organisms are plants or animals that have been
bioengineered to merge DNA from different species. Some of these GM foods like
corn and cotton are designed to produce their own pesticide in every cell so
that the bugs that eat them will die. Almost all other countries declined using
gmo’s since there is no evidence proving that they’re safe, but the US decided
otherwise in the early 90′s and we’ve all been part of the science experiment
ever since. As time goes by more and more studies prove those other countries
were all right.
If we eat gmo foods
OUR DNA becomes altered permanently just likein animals. The GM soy gene transfers into our intestinal dna and
continues to produce pesticides even after you stop eating gmo foods. GMO’s are
in at least 80% of processed foods if not more. If we keep supporting these
companies nothing will change, except for the increased number of miscarriages,
spontaneous abortions, infertility, gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, and
food allergies that have been on the rise since the induction of gmo’s. The
incidence of people who experience 3 or more chronic diseases nearly doubled in
the first 9 years since the introduction of gmo’s. Sperm counts have dropped as
much as 50% since the 1970′s. 85% decline in monarch butterfly populations
since RoundUp was introduced. Death, massive tumors, infertility, intestinal
hemorrhaging where the animals bleed out in minutes are all occurring with gmo
diets. What else do we need to see?? Should we trust a product that comes from
the makers of Agent Orange, PCB’s, Aspartame, and DDT’s?? I could go on all
day, but these were just a few facts I wanted to share with you. I know you’re
probably thinking it’s impossible to avoid these products, but I’ve done it and
I know you can too.
How can you afford organic?
I used to be such a
penny pincher, cutting coupons, and buying what I thought were healthy foods.
Once I learned that 95% of soy and 90% of corn were gmo I realized that pretty
much any processed product had one or both of these ingredients. Corn syrup is
in just about everything and all those coupons are geared towards these gmo
items. So I stopped wasting my time on coupons, stopped buying processed foods
which are loaded with additives to increase addictiveness, and just stuck with
whole foods. I quickly learned that we fill up faster on real whole organic
food so while organic may be more expensive, we’re not buying the processed
junk that was just as expensive if not more. Then I found a local organic
farmer who sells better quality food for about half the price most grocery stores charge.
Many studies prove organic foods have far more vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants vs. non organic and the sooner we eat them after harvesting the
higher these nutrients will be.
Now the rest of my essentials can be found online. With amazon subscriptions
I can get basics like toilet paper, almonds, organic bars, vinegar, and baking
soda automatically delivered each month with an extra %15 off. I prefer buying
organic chicken broth online because I can choose to purchase the 8 ounce
containers in bulk instead of a large container from the local store that I
won’t be able to use before it spoils. Organic apple chips on amazon are
cheaper than I’ve found anywhere else. TJMaxx also carries an organic section
with coconut oil, quinoa and buckwheat crackers, goldenberries, chia seeds,
flax and more.
Where do I start?
Start by educating your family.
Go local. Get to know your farmers or grown your own.
Experiment with new foods. Try rutabaga fries instead of potatoes,
zucchini noodles instead of pasta, cauliflower instead of rice.
Clean out the pantry and the fridge. There are safe replacements for just
about anything, you just have to look for them.
After a short time on organics and allowing your body to heal your immune
response will be much stronger than before, if you slip up and eat garbage
again your body will definitely let you know.
You are worth a few extra dollars to not have your intestines hemorrhage
or to be able to have children one day.
