    also shop at your local farmer market! I saw the movie and i was totally shocked. I only eat free range chicken and feed my family grass fed beef and I only buy organic.

    Ya I was most definately in shock when I watched this! It really made me think about what I put into my body. Some people may say organic is too expensive but it is worth putting your money into on the long run....healthier lives!
