Dirty Dozen VS Clean Fifteen

Do you need a Good reason to grow a garden?
 
Here is an email that I received a few weeks ago that I think everyone need to consider.
 
First ask yourself this simple questions...
Do you know how the food your family consumes was grown?
Are you eating poison?
 
Read it, go to the links and watch the videos.
Then see if you don't have a heightened desire to grown your own food.
 
Oh my gosh - I was shocked to find HOW MANY pesticides and chemicals are on the foods I eat and I give to my grandchildren ... Did you KNOW there is an organization that tests grocery store produce for us?  Check out the VIDEO and LIST ... be AWARE of which foods have the highest levels of pesticides even IF they are washed!  Wise men have said we need to know how to grow gardens - I thought it was a self sufficiency thing; never thought I would be poisoned.  Be smart in your choices, grow your own, buy organic when necessary or find LOCAL resources and LOCAL farmers that will sell to you.
