Where does your food come from? Is it locally grown and organic, from markets and locally owned businesses? If so you are not only consuming the best fuel for your body (space suit). You are also taking good care that our planet (space ship) is sustainable by reducing the petrol carbons and chemicals used to a minimal, local distribution only. Many food products are transported in 18 wheel semi trailers, across the country, to your local supermarkets. Grown in factory farms with GMOs‘ (genetically modified organisms), pesticides and growth hormones, these manufactured foods are not fulfilling, they only fill the pockets of large multi national corporations. Check the labels on boxed and packaged goods and support local economies. 10 out of 10 times, you can produce better flavors and add fresher organic ingredients than manufactured foods. Save time, packaging, transportation, pollution and your insides by not buying manufactured foods. Canned foods are ok in case of emergency, but bulk organic grains and beans are best. No other ingredients have been added. Just soak and sprout for life. We use our soak water for sauces and to water the plants.
Is your food fresh or living? If not how long since it has been living? Dried seeds, nuts and beans can be sprouted to unlock the dormant nutrients and enzymes. Bulk organic seeds, nuts and beans can be bought by the pound for a surprisingly low price. Live, raw food has the highest possible levels of nutrients. Once you cut a plant or fruit you have a finite amount of time before all of the life giving nutrients dissipate and die off. Cooking further reduces digestible enzymes and nutrients in your foods.
Where does your food go when you are finished with it? Do you just throw it away and buy more to repeat the non cycle? Complete the cycle, compost your food scraps and leftovers with THIS NON TOXIC RECYCLED NEWSPAPER! Grow your own food with the fuel of your scraps. Bring your own bags with you to the store and encourage others in line to do the same. Bringing your own bags is one of the hardest habits to get into and a great way to begin the cycle.
