I live in Florida and I grow most of the above in season, naturally and without the use of pesticides.I also found out that colon cancer and other colon related diseases are the number one causes of death in US.
Back to the farm and the garden.Did you know that juicing locally grown greens and locally grown fruits helps your colon health?
We are kept in the dark by the main stream media that bombards our heads with various news from all over the world about stuff that is so destracting and depressing like earthquakes ,wars,crimes and other disastors, but not so much about FOOD related GOOD news .
Here are some good news which we rarely stumble upon :
the Hunzas who live in the Himalayas are the healthiest race on earth thanks to their vegeterian diets and to their backyard fruit and vegetable gardens.
The Japanese have the highest number of living centurians on earth thanks to their seafood and SEAWEED diets.
Back to US.
We are the number one Super power on earth , we have the vastest aerable lands ,the most advanced technologies and the highest reserves and resources .WE feed the world .
But ,we are so vulnerable to diseases because our diet is so saturated with chemicals and pesticides.We are the most fed but the least nourished.
Greens are the undeclared gold of the future.Water is the next strategic food security.As farmers we are the bees of living food production.KEEP ON BUZZING!
