E Coli and Salmonella and Tapeworms, Oh My!

Just for the record, I’m not on a raw meat diet. I didn’t do a raw pregnancy. I get a lot of emails and comments from people assuming I eat a raw meat-Aajonus Vonderplanitz type Primal diet. I don’t… anymore. About six years ago I experimented with a raw meat diet and adhered to it for a while. I eventually moved on to just raw sea food, rice, and raw juices. Then I moved to low carb.

March Against Monsanto

March Against Monsanto

Tami Monroe Canal says she was inspired to start the movement, March Against Monsanto, to protect her 2 daughters. “I feel Monsanto threatens their generations health, fertility and longevity. I could’nt sit by idly, waiting for someone else to do something.”

I am totally with her on this, as a mother of two daughters myself. Although, my interest in this fight is not just about my daughters’ health, but about justice and freedom. Monsanto is robbing the world of their freedom to grow the foods they choose to grow and is replacing natural plants with modified crops that are bad for our health.

This gigantic corporation has got to be stopped. March Against Monsanto might just be the beginning of a revolution.
