Vegetarianism

[AnimalFamily]

I agree, maybe it's not so much what we eat but the quality of the food we put in our systems.
Even the vegetables we eat these days are in question. Genetically modified, pesticides, etc.
I saw a show about potatoes and how many pesticides are in them. Not only on the outside but inside as well. Since they are a root crop they absorb the pesticides inside the potato, so you can't wash it off. Only organic potatoes for me now and only very rarely!
Also, we are becoming a nation of 'fast food eaters', possibly one of the biggest contributors to many health issues.
We seldom ever eat out. Partly because of the financial aspect, lol. Maybe once every couple months or so. I like knowing what's in my food and how it was prepared.

Tobi: I love that you know the wonders of garlic. It is so good for so many things. I am always trying to get people on the garlic bandwagon.
Have you ever tried [or heard of] "Liquid Kyolic" garlic? A shameless plug, I hope it's okay?
We are never without it in our house. It is aged garlic extract. One capsule equals 50 cloves of garlic [of I remember correctly]. It is aged so it does not leave you with garlic breath. Fantastic stuff!!! During flu season we always take some before we goout amongst the germs. We seldom catch whatever is going around and if we do get sick it is only very briefly.
Not to mention the other benefits. Lower blood pressure, great for the heart, so many things.
I have even used fresh garlic to cure ringworm in my family and on several friends.
I could go on and on, but I digress......
