RE: Ice Cream Please, But Hold the Wood. What's Really in Your Food?

All the food is poison.
I'm glad we're growing more and more of our own food... I just like to know where my food comes from, and we generally avoid anything pre-packaged, as much ae can. Of course, you can't completely avoid packaged foods, but we're at a fraction of where we used to be.
Your article is a poignant reminder.

Congratulations on 'cleaning up' your diet. It seems like so much work to do everything from scratch. But that's actually how my grandparents lived. They grew everything they ate. Farmers in upstate NY.
I remember, when I was growing up, 'spraying' was routine. Everything had insecticide on it. I was curious (after reading your comment) about the cancer risk for farmers, because of exposure. Despite a 'healthier' lifestyle (ex: physical activity, less smoking) there was an increase in certain cancers. This finding held consistent in two studies, from 1985, and from 2009
One of my cousins runs a food co-op today and sells only organic. When she went organic it was revolutionary. She was one of the first to take the risk of changing her farm practices.
I guess, it's not just growing your own food, but your exposure to chemicals across the board that matters.
Thanks for stopping by and prompting my reading. There are always more questions than answers (for me).
