Food Inc. is full of alarming facts that I knew about, being in the small fram business, but was horrified to witness on the screen. I have read all the books you reccommend as well and they are clarifying for sure. I get a new customer every weekend at the farmer’s market who has just seen Food Inc. The sad thing is that it’s just not that hard to raise animals the RIGHT way. It’s just not that hard to do the right thing!

Thanks for the reminder. It’s easy to get complacent, especially now that the CSA is over for this year and we get into all the holiday indulgences.

Tell me about it! It is so scary, and it’s everywhere you turn. Just started looking up the addition of DHA and ARA to infant formula. These are laboratory-manufactured oils added to market formula as that much closer to breastmilk even though it is UNKNOWN whether there actually is a benefit from the addition of these oils. Turns out that manufacturing these oils creates DHA and ARA that are NOT the same chemically as those found in breastmilk, and they are created with the use of a neurotoxin (hexane). But, trying to find formula which does not contain DHA/ARA is almost impossible. Even Whole Foods sells organic formula which has DHA/ARA despite the fact that the use of hexane makes it UNorganic.

Nicely put. It’s so easy to load the kids up with protein bars and quick snacks but there’s a price for convenience. I’m going to load up on fresh, organic fruit the next time I hit the grocery store. Thank you for the wake up call.
