Or so it seems to me. It's all the crap that we've "made up" that really is bad...<br />I think when you make your own food, it's just got to be better....but it is time-consuming, and so folks don't.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707994951481534393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12311172.post-5314494350206390372011-02-24T12:27:26.316-03:002011-02-24T12:27:26.316-03:00Look online for a seed catalog from Schumway's...Look online for a seed catalog from Schumway's ... it makes for interesting reading. There are all kinds of foods that people used to grow for themselves and their animals, and now we just buy it off the shelf without thinking. <br /><br />I bought chicken the other day that had a label specifically telling me the food was hormone and steroid free, as required by the USDA. It's sad that they had to clarify that. I'm going to see if Jess wants to help butcher chickens next time ... you probably want a video of that !!<br /><br />Love, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12311172.post-54329132471725185992011-02-24T08:35:09.559-03:002011-02-24T08:35:09.559-03:00Catherine: Thank you.

Having grown up in a farming community and watching small town farmers who care about their animals and land being forced to do it as a hobby instead of a living, I wonder how well the factory mentality really serves us, our communities or our world. <br /><br />Ellen: Both are auto-immune/auto-inflammatory, however, and the auto means that something in our body (or that our body is exposed to) is making us sick. If I figured out what triggered immune responses like that, I'd be a billionaire. Want to contribute to my research?! :) I think JRA is classified separately from RA because it really is a different disease...as unlike RA, patients like yourself find it just disappears as they age.--jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613132276745441850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12311172.post-27270511007645505502011-02-24T03:41:42.257-03:002011-02-24T03:41:42.257-03:00Interesting insight, and I do agree that our diet ...Interesting insight, and I do agree that our diet affects our health more than we would readily admit in the US.<br />But, it still doesn't explain why I had juvenile RA at 3 years old- I really couldn't have had THAT many preservatives in my diet with the home-made and home-grown foods mom made.<br />And it doesn't explain why mine went into remission, because i eat CRAP- good-tasting, but laden in preservatives and extra non-healthy things and it hasn't come back.<br />Keep investigating for other reasons behind RA!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842518661474612786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12311172.post-30237403042958041352011-02-23T23:21:02.613-03:002011-02-23T23:21:02.613-03:00Wonderful thought-provoking post!

I've been wrestling with this concept myself after watching a few disturbing documentaries about the food industry in the states. <br /><br />It's certainly made me think twice about all the foods I've so easily made my go-to meals.Catherine Dentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771249741266703689noreply@blogger.com
