^^Yes, I understand that. With more than 7 billion people on the planet, 21% who won’t see the age of 21 due to malnourishment, these foods, although IMO are unnatural and suspicious, are feeding people who might not be otherwise fed.
But I have the luxury of land and space for a garden and fruit trees available to me and it would be foolish of me to not take full advantage of it. It is a joy to use my chickens as killers of pests every evening before I allow them to nest. I love the fact that the earthworms provide those same chickens with the proteins they need to stay healthy. I like that they give me their eggs. I love the ideal of creating an environment based on Symbiosis and not chemicals.
I live near a village of people who practice the same techniques as I in their private gardens. They can’t afford chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Although they don’t consider this a boon, I believe they and their children benefit enormously from this economic circumstance. The people on this side of the island don’t appear to suffer the same instances of asthma, IDDM II, heart disease, hyperactivity, ADHD or neuroses found common in the States today. A Ritalin salesman or a purveyor of psychotropics would starve here. These villagers don’t know it, but they live in paradise compared to the states.
Again, many studies discount my claims to this, but after being a nurse for almost a quarter century in the States, I stand by my theory. You are what you eat.
