The United States population today is obese and unhealthy. The most inexpensive foods tend to have the highest fat content. To save money we purchase high fat foods. To top that off, our fat inducing food is tainted with pesticides, antibiotics, hormones and many times deadly bacteria. Our choices for fresh produce and vegetables and other food stuffs are limited to our local supermarkets, cheap fast food outlets or restaurants. These choices will not tell you where your foods come from or what possible dangerous products were used to grow these foods. Your grapes maybe from Argentina, your tomatoes from Chile and your beef from Mexico. Even when these foods come from the United States, that is no guarantee that e coli, salmonella, mad cow or some other as of yet unknown disease hasn’t infected them.
What’s the solution? Your very best solution is nutritious, safe and inexpensive food grown in your very own garden. In today’s fast paced life most of us don’t have the time or the energy, and the available land and green thumb to plant our own garden;to be able to harvest your own delicious, nutritious and safe food for your family. As late as 50 years ago, gardening was one of the most important projects for most families. Growing up in central Mississippi on a small farm, I know it was for my family. The garden provided low cost food and nutrition and we always knew where our food came from. We had chickens and eggs, cows with fresh milk and butter and pigs and pork we raised ourselves. We knew it was safe food for our family to eat. Today, with our busy schedules, very few families can afford the luxury of tending their very own garden.
What is the answer? How about organic food for free… If you could have your own organic garden full of organic veggies, have access to thousands of safe organic food priced at store prices or lower, and have them delivered to your own front door; then I have to ask, wouldn’t that be better than driving to the store for that bag of chips and cola?
