So very true….we have a farmers market ( many as a matter of fact) and we get all our produce from them and use organic for everything else……Joyce

I am really becoming gung-ho for the “local food”
movement, so that I
buy my food in as pure a form as possible from local producers. I know
I am blessed to live in California where this is possible year-round,
but I’m hearing of more people doing this–buying from farmers
markets, cooperatives–to avoid food with antibiotics, pesticides,
human growth hormones, etc. More and more evidence shows these harmful
additives are the reason for our daughters maturing at 10-11 years old
these days!
Who knows how distant Chinese mass producers are growing foods and
producing things for export? Toys are only the tip of the iceberg!
