Grand Rapids’ local food experts Dan Gendler, Anja Mast, Jerry Adams, and Devin Maloney have a panel discussion on local and organic foods after viewing the movie Food, Inc. This panel discussion is part of the GRCC Spring Sustainability Series.
Just going through some of my experiences so far with switching over to natural (organic) foods and products. Since this video I have increased the ratio of organic to inorganic food and products. I went back and tried the shampoo again, and what I didn’t notice before is that, while it feels dry and damaged right out of the shower, some how it works to make my hair soft and hydrated when it dried completely. Really weird, but cool. Also, don’t expect a lot of suds. I’m pretty happy with it. The brand is ‘Kiss My Face’. Still kinda blown away by the Orange Juice. It doesn’t taste anything like conventional common orange juice (even the lots of pulp stuff) which makes me wonder what the hell is in it. Again, I want to itterate that it has required an increase in food spending and I suspect we will probably need another 50% increase in our food budget to go totally organic. Right now we’re at $100 a week and there are certain things we will only get organic. Milk, cereal, meat, fruits, and vegetables. For organic meat, shop around for butchers and ask where the farm is they get their meat from. If they won’t tell you, don’t buy it. If they do, go see it and don’t be afraid to ask the farmer questions.
Organic Food Bar review by Mozis Fitness. I give this bar a thumbs up and recommend to try it if you like those quick meals on the go. Health has never been so easy.
My family and I watched the documentary Food Inc. This is a subject that I am passionate about and this film is very eye opening and thought provoking. Now I have been following the whole GMO and rbgh subjects for a long time, as well as the battle we all need to be fighting with regard to high fructose corn syrup and the evil empire that is Monsanto, but this movie is more than that. This puts a face to the subject. It makes you want to respect your food before you eat it. It makes you want to think about what you are putting in your body and the far reaching consequences that eating certain foods may have. We watched this together with our two daughters and we stopped at several points during the movie to discuss things like how they have changed what a chicken is or what they have done to manipulate seeds. My kids are changed. We went to the store for a few things after dinner and they started reading lables! Do yourself a favor. Watch this movie, buy it or rent it or borrow it. I bought mine from Amazon for $10.00. I know that you can watch it one time on Itunes for $3.99 or purchase it there for $14.99. Go rent it from blockbuster, where I am sure it will be available. You can check out their website at www.foodincmovie.com You can also check out their resource site at www.takepart.com/foodinc. You can also view the trailer for this film here on Youtube. I hope you watch this important film. I hope you take away from it what me and my family did. Something has to …
www.therenegadehealthshow.com – This should bring some healthy discussion… Which do you think is better? Eating all organic foods with no or little variety or eating a very wide variety of non-organics? Watch the show to see what I think and then post your comment below… I really want to hear your thoughts on this one! I also explain a mistake in a recent email (thanks Grant, for pointing it out!) about protein and what other fruits contain plenty of protein, so you can steer clear of animal protein if you’re so inclined… Go ahead and watch now…
