Bio/organic are labels to make a product sound special just so you have to pay more for it. The sickening part about this is, this bio food is what we used to eat many years ago before the food you eat got covered in a variety of chemicals to guarantee large yields and vast profits. It is reported that 90% of the population, if tested, has chemicals in their blood stream due to the food they eat. We wonder where all these diseases come from, well here is your answer.
It is caused by mans greed for on demand food and manufacturers need for vast profits. In the past everything had seasons, out of season fruit and vegetables didn't exist. We are now horrified if we cannot find a blueberry in winter. The animals are fed on unnatural products and hormones to produce the best weight and price. Any correlation between the farmer and the living animal have long since gone.
There is an enormous almond farm in California which produces 99% of the worlds almonds. You look at any bag of almonds (non organic) and I guarantee it says produced in the USA. It ships in millions of bees every year to pollinate the trees. These bees die due to ingesting the poisons sprayed on the trees. They are considered just a cog in the wheel of their production nothing more.
By 2050 half the flowers we love and know around the world will be gone forever if we do not stop and take a step back. We already know about global warming but too little is being done and possibly too late. The world of food is mainly carried out over the phone by big businesses, with no thought to the production just the profit and quantity.
The label Bio/organic should really be labelled 'natural' before poisons entered the food chain. Many people do not have the resources to purchase natural foods and are forced to by cheaper items, these being the lowest grade of production and containing all the additives and fillers to it.
If we go back in time you can see that food was very localised and people got what was produced in their area at the time. Mass production and demand for everything across the world has exploded, creating a vast export import business, including live export of animals, many of which has been recently banned. We are not content with our trip to the supermarket having a few empty shelves but when there is even a hint of something not being available everyone panic buys and the shelves become empty in seconds. This greed and selfishness has played its part in this mass produced chemically laden industry which we consume everyday.
Wouldn't it be lovely to get back to natural food and meat with no chemicals or hormones. Wouldn't it be good if the food with chemicals, hormones and genetically modified where labelled unnatural production and sold at a higher cost.
One day we will wake up and realise all we did was mess about with Mother Nature and it's now too late.
