Eat organic and don’t put your health at the mercy of pesticide farming

IS it possible that another ‘rip-off’ happens to be our economic system because it somehow does not seem to value what is important?

Eat organic and don’t put your health at the mercy of pesticide farming

It may be ‘cheaper’ to spray our food with chemicals specifically designed to be hazardous to living systems or to import food from half way around the world, laden with chemicals to keep it fresh, and using fossil fuels in the process, but what about the cost to our planet and ourselves?

We live in a society where our health is held hostage to an economic system that does not know the real meaning of cheap.
