Quoting: redrosie Couple marine batteries ..good ones a few hundred also good to have on hand .. and the extras you should need .. Support your local farms!! ..and barter food .. couple chickens if you can Spray garden plants once a week seventh generation mint/lavender.. rain heavy, twice anweek .. couple sprays 10 drops water bottle (large) Excellent advice redrosie. I spent a lot of the afternoon opening up brocolli and radish seeds. I usually let several plants go to seed at the end of the season for the next planting. I'm beginning to become leery of purchasing seeds now. Monsanto is buying a lot of the heirloom seeds, and I don't trust them anymore. At lease if I save my own seed, I know what they are. You would be surprised at the "heirloom" seeds you are growing. Monsanto owns a lot of them, but as long as they are open pollinated, so far M can't keep you from saving the seed.

BAD WOLF User ID: 4471518 ![]() 05/21/2012 01:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What else is new, then there's also the pesticides and fertilizers on grown foods and such too. My family's started boycotting the products of a local company that makes probably the majority of products that helps makes your lawn look ' nice and green' in the the state of Ohio. Why? majority of the people who lives near the plant they make the products at have gotten ill with cancer or just dropped dead. Something my dad, who used to work in the plant and is now diagnosed with COPD and has had surgery to remove a cancerous growth, mentioned when I've pointed out that we have had more wildlife visiting our yard than our neighbors. We stopped using the products and haven't used them since we were notified by the doctor of what my dad has. Kinda funny how we're maybe looking only at the chemicals in the processed foods but yet what about the organic grown/home grown foods being sprayed with these sorts of things? But you've gotta have that green lawn. Of course if you connect the dots on every food product and did some digging you'll find that these days it's practically hard to find something not meant to make you sick or die. Unless you avoid the pesticides and fertilizers and grow your own food. They want us ignorant and dumbed down to a point where we're easy to manipulate. Small groups are easier to control.

I'm so sorry your family is going through that with your dad. And after all his years of service to the company, to think that is how he is repayed. We use organic methods in our garden, and no chemicals or fertilizers on our grass. Not only would it poison my garden, but my chickens are free-range, so it would be detrimental to their well being (and ours, eating the eggs and meat). However, there are some farmers around us who keep hiring these blasted crop dusters. Auggghhh! |

LOL!! Teach them some of the songs to get the rhythm down. I remember a line of us at recess waiting to "run in". I never see kids jumping rope anymore. So sad :( Oh, and you'll be fine, and it just might become a daily activity that you drag your kids out to play with you! Life is good... Come to think of it, I should get off this computer and get my little munchkin out and teach him to jump rope. |

Those fuckers killed the small organic farmers and killed co-ops and small natural food stores. As soon as they bought them all out they fucked over the organic growers in favor of walmart quality crap labeled "natural" Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7119213 Yeah, they appear to have become part of the big corporation syndrome.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7119213 ![]() 05/22/2012 12:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Really! Did you read the link? In that article it says how they caved and stated that organics and gmo's can co-exist. Whole Foods, Stoneyfield and Organic Valley. Couldn't believe it when I read it. Now when you walk into their store, you cannot trust that they are not selling you gmo's. We can co-exist, right? Hmmmph! Quoting: Persephone Agree! It really pisses me off because there is nowhere else to go. Every other natural food place in town has been closed. There was a wild oats but whole foods bought them all and closed them. |
Persephone (OP) User ID: 1270368 ![]() 05/22/2012 01:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow - I didn't realize they were buying out the other whole foods stores. I guess they got the smell of money, just like a lot of the other big corporations, and are trying to move toward a monopoly. Luckily, more and more people are screaming organics, so our local HEB and Kroger's now has a pretty nice selection of organics, so I'm able to bypass Whole Foods. |
Persephone (OP) User ID: 1270368 ![]() 05/22/2012 01:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just received this from an email buddy of mine. I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share it. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners... God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body! God's Pharmacy! Amazing! A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food. Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food. A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function. Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys. Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body. Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them). Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility. Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries Oranges , Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts. Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body. |
