Sister Red


ABOUT ME: I am the youngest child of eleven. I am married with two boys and one step son who lives with us full time. I am the minority in my home and it drives me nuts on a daily basis. I am Vegan, my two children are Vegetarian while my husband and step son are not. I care about where my food comes from, how it is grown, whether it's genetically engineered etc. I have hippie tendencies and have come to welcome and accept them. I currently have three dogs, all of whom were rescued in one way or another. I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint and reducing my families as well. I sometimes wish I lived in Canada.

Seriously?

I posted this link of facebook, this was what happened next.

Her:

It’s been proven in recent studies that, although organics are grown pesticide free, they really aren’t any more nutritous than other food of the same kind that are not organically grown. Been watching the health channel lately trying to get weight loss tips. I’m all up to par on that stuff :)

Me:

Nutrition aside: the link was in regards to the company Monsanto. Monsanto not only creates patented GMO’ s but they are also responsible for the creation of DDT, Agent Orange and Round Up. They created their “Round Up Ready” seeds so that farmers can spray their plants with Round Up to kill everything else but the “food” they are growing. If a farmer does not plant the Monsanto seed but the seed blows into their field and then germinates, the farmer can be sued for patent infringement by Monsanto and lose everything. Farmers who have had seeds for generations lose their very lively hood because a corporation was allowed to patent nature.
