Just last year 700,000 residents of the Abbruzzo region were informed that they've been drinking water contaminated by toxic waste for years.<br /><br />And speaking of water, the toxins have started affecting the groundwater. Once that happens, all the produce is more or less like Russian roulette.

If we just PUSH a little harder every day, if it means taking "baby steps" to fight the mega-farms that grind out toxic foods, if we apply just a little more pressure each day, and if each of us can get just 1 or 2 others to join the PUSH against the grocery stores who won't label their GMOs, the local ranchers and farmers who have fallen into the pesticides and cheap GMO seeds, toxic vaccines for their animals, if we can just once a day, or even once a week, call our elected officials from the local up to the national levels & complain, demand change, tell them we won't buy those things, we CAN make a difference! <br />We still have voices, we can still communicate our feelings to those who haven't listened in the past, & when enough of us decide to just TRY, we WILL get some decent changes. If we just lie down & take it, all we'll get is early graves. That's our choices. We can stand, or we can lie down.Waninahihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714851314831283910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786783108846468976.post-50573493248985056802013-10-06T01:45:14.533-05:002013-10-06T01:45:14.533-05:00MILLIONS.

It's a fact that some now in the EPA, FDA, agencies that are SUPPOSED to look out for us, were once employed by the mega-corporations who use the pesticides, who create the Frankenfoods that are destroying our bodies, and who are driving the smaller farmers out of business. SUPPORT LOCAL GROWERS who avoid GMOs & Monsanto products. They're out there, and you'll be surprised at how inexpensive local produce and grass fed/free range meats can be!Waninahihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714851314831283910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786783108846468976.post-36528202637879309282013-10-06T01:40:38.157-05:002013-10-06T01:40:38.157-05:00Buy organic, if at all possible.

And, best of all, try growing your own food from heirloom seeds. You'd be amazed at what will grow even INSIDE. All the best.Waninahihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714851314831283910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786783108846468976.post-51283854462653935252013-10-05T16:56:47.855-05:002013-10-05T16:56:47.855-05:00i am going to the grocery store but i don't kn...i am going to the grocery store but i don't know what to buy thats safe to eat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786783108846468976.post-44513211628405535372013-10-05T16:51:45.080-05:002013-10-05T16:51:45.080-05:00these people that poison us with toxic foods,shoul...these people that poison us with toxic foods,should be executed(they knowingly do it)<br />i wonder how people that trusted them have died from all the toxins?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
