Now, don’t get me wrong–I love my daughters. I don’t know what I would do with out ANY of them. However, at times they can be too much.

There was a time, 5 or so years ago, when I hadn’t seen the light. I knew what was right when it came to food–fresh, local, organic, seasonal and sustainable–but I couldn’t articulate it, nor did I care much to share my view. Ten years ago, I’m not too sure I was even there, but I was at least on a path towards better food. Fifteen years ago, I was as blind as a bat. I lived life like everyone else, shopped at Wal-mart, used Miracle Grow on my veggie patch, at all kinds of pre-processed crap, drank gallons of high-fructose corn syrup laden products and lived a "normal" life.  Somewhere along the way–perhaps when mainstream medicine failed me and I began looking at the world through alternative medicine–my eyes began to open to what was in front of me, and I was willing to admit to myself what I knew to be true. But not before the damage was done.

This article reflects what I have long felt to be true. We have been blind-sided by diet. Two sets of twins later, I realize we saw the light too late. I used to think it was all down to the fact that I was double-jointed or something, now I find out it was all that commercial milk and beef we were eating in the early 90’s. Monsanto owes me child support for at least two of my 5 girls. Thank God we switched back to RAW milk and Organic Beef just before the last set of girls was born.
