Global Food Toxicity: Myth or Fact?

I received this disturbing email today, and while I don't agree with everything that is stated, what bothers me the most is that many people will just shrug it off:

Health-conscious people have known for a long time that fast-food, prepared-food and processed foods are neither nutritious nor health-giving.  Monsanto and Big AG are NOT your friends, and round-up ready 'anything' doesn't belong anywhere near your plate, let alone your yard for your pets and kids to play on.

This blog post is not meant to instill fear, but to create anger - healthy anger - so that people wake up and take responsibility for their own health.  Medicinal botanicals, local wild edibles and growing our own fresh fruit and vegetables is one place to start.  The 'medicine of the people' is a vanishing reality:  100 years ago, most families knew at least 300-400 herbs, weeds, leaves, roots, seeds, shrubs and trees    ...and their medicinal and food uses in order to stay healthy.

Even in spite of 24"+ of chemical snow (also myth or fact?) on the ground, I INTEND to plant a garden again this year, and make it larger, if possible.  Use heirloom, heritage and organic seeds and plants ONLY!  Spring will be here in 4-1/2 weeks to northwest NJ, and wild edible greens begin appearing by early April. 

In April/May, we begin our outdoor Wild Edibles workshops.  Check our website and blog for a program near you in NJ/Northeast PA, or contact us directly for a personal or private weed-walk/herb-walk on your property or for your group, organization or club.  Email:  donna@willowmoonherbals.com.

Knowledge is power, my friends.  And applied Knowledge is FREEDOM!
KNOW your wild edibles from their toxic look-alikes.

Namaste and Green Blessings!
