Easter, The Environment And Making New Changes

[suzanne sanders]

My latest research has lead me to some serious thinking about what new changes I need to make in my life, my family's life and my animals.   What is happening to our food system at an incredible rate is more than sad. The corporate food corruption alone gives my heart to much anger. On days like these I can not help but think being a sheelple would make life seem so grand. Ignorance may be bliss, but, it gives nothing but a sad spirit inside that has been broken and only finds water by being led. 

In our family life Easter and any other holiday has become a non-toxic holiday.   

At this point in our lives we are poised between opposite forces, light and dark.   The "Dark Side" would be a normal Easter holiday with plastic baskets, plastic eggs, plastic toys, toxic dyes,to much toxic candy, loads of toxic food coloring, hams full of nitrates and a whole lot of non-organic food.  

The light side would be making changes that are healthy and good for the earth, yourself and your family.  

To me Easter gives the meaning of fertility (the symbol of the egg),  Fertility, which leads to birth therefore it is a time to create new opportunities for positive change.  It is a time to be receptive,active and conscious. I will give birth to my actions that come from my heart. 

Ask yourself what you wish to give energy to.  

Where will you put your focus? Dark or light?

What can you change for the better?

What actions can you make that will help the spread of good will and love in the world? 

Our Easter day Plan:

Environmental Goal:  Worked 1 hour on cutting scotch broom.  We did this to keep the logging company from spraying toxic chemicals to kill it.  

Eggs:  Organic eggs, dyed with red onions skins, turmeric,wild violets and thyme.  

Food;   Supported the local farmers and bought organic chicken and veggies.  

Family:  Dinner together with candle light and music

New Life Goals Set 

Boxed Alternative Milks

 We will not be buying anymore oat milk, hemp milk or any other alternative milk in a carton.  Because the cartons are bad for the environment and we found out the company's are putting ingredients that are excitotoxins in them.  The also have "Neotame".  The neotame does not have to be listed in the ingredients, see links below.   

Boycotting

We will not be setting foot in a Whole Foods store ever again.  They are traders and hypocrites. 

GMO ALFALFA = NO DAIRY FOR US

We also made a big decision that was not easy to make  and very sad.   That decision is to not buy any organic dairy (or any other dairy product) unless it comes from a very small local organic farmer.   This is not going to be easy because of how our government bullies small organic dairy farmers.   The sad part is a long story and I will put the link below.  I encourage you to read it.

A Challenge For All Humans

 I challenge you to take a stance and not buy any dairy in any form from the store for the next two months.  

We need to hit the big corporate food companies in the pocket book.  If we want a real change this HAS TO BE DONE.  Otherwise our food sources are going to get more contaminated.  After they contaminate the organic food, they will go and shut down all small farmers.  

After that they will tell you what you can and cannot not grow at your own house.  It is a matter of time.  Remember "For those who control the food supply will control the human race".

It is time as the human race to get rid of "Toxic Traditions" .

And thanks for posting the article links! I shared them on Facebook. I must confess I feel overwhelmed by all this, more and more. If you can't grow it yourself, it isn't safe. If you decide to get a milk cow or milk goats, I will be your customer!

What you say about them eventually forbidding us to grow our own food really resonates with me. I sometimes can't sleep at night because of this very same fear. I don't know how it will be enforced, and which way our local police will go, but assuming our local police are on our side, they will probably be overruled by the Feds. Just saw an article about a man in Roswell GA who was killed after being harassed by the city for a very long time, for raising legal chickens in his one-acre permaculture yard. I will stay clear of cowmilk products. What about goat milk? Goat cheese? I find that easier to digest, anyway.
Last Saturday I bought a chicken and some eggs from Tessa at Saturday market. Delicious! We are still eating chicken soup.
