So I was shopping at Wegman’s with my wife the other day trying to pull together a father’s day brunch and as I approached the cucumbers I noticed something insane. Ā The organic Cucumbers were $1.99 each. EACH! The “GENETICALLY ENGINEERED” cucumbers were about 69 cents each. Ā Shocking to say the least.
We have no definitive proof that anything specific causes Cancer, but I think it is safe to say that all the “Genetically Engineered” produce is bad for us….nasty chemicals, pesticides, and preservatives all in the name of capitalism.Ā Ā FRESH ORGANIC vegatables are good for our bodies and, at one time, were inexpensive and were in abundance.
Over the past 10 years our culture has become lazy; we took too many shortcuts and now we are paying the price. TheĀ world going is through tough times economically and ecologically. Ā Our government is working on contingency plans for these issues and there are tons of organizations/causes to assist. Ā In essence we are getting back to the basics. Ā And I guess that is a good thing. Ā Now maybe our farmers can go back to putting seeds in the dirt and watering them, instead of looking for shortcuts.
Find a farmers market in your area…refuse to pay premiums on organic produce and support your local farmers.
And if you are feeling really ambitious, start your own garden. Ā Seeds and water are cheap.
