Gardening, do you do it? And WHY?

This morning I watched the documentary Food, Inc.  I'm so angry!  I feel like I've been lied to for so many years, by so many companies.  I don't like being duped.  But I know I'm not giving them any more of my money.  And I know my family deserves better.  And I know farmers deserve better. AND I know workers deserve better.

Then, I watched FoodMatters documentary.  Wow.  Seriously, we've GOT to stop being sheep and being fed (literally - on our table and out of our prescription bottles) whatever the drug companies will give us for every ailment we get.....and start working on preventing the diseases!  My Mom has taken supplements before, had me listen to Dead Doctor's Don't Lie tapes years ago (you can probably google and download an mp3 file for free), and for some reason it never sunk in.  At least, it didn't last.  Maybe I was just too young to listen?  Well, I'm 37 years old, and I'm changing my life.  And I'm changing the life of my family and hopefully teaching them to make better choices.



A couple of weeks ago, I decided to put in a garden for my family, simply because the price of food is probably going up with the world's disasters that have been happening.  I keep looking at vertical gardening as a solution for not having to weed so much!  (weeds have taken over any attempt at a garden every time I've ever tried!!)   Now I stand behind that decision for different reasons as well.  I was feeling pretty lazy because I hadn't gotten anything planted yet (lettuce) but with the call for SNOW this weekend (can you even BELIEVE that???), I'm feeling pretty smart!  lol


Anyway, both of those movies are on Netflix - if you subscribe, then look them up!
