Looking for friends that are interested in organic, local, and non GMO foods :)

Hi Rhianna my husband I are transitioning to eating more organic and non GMO foods. It is amazing in a bad way what has happened to our food supply.

6ish years ago, I developed an intense allergy to corn, which forced me to switch to a lot of organic foods and natural food sources. Glad I don't have the allergy anymore but it taught me a very valuable lesson on the importance good quality foods.

Share all your knowledge with me. I am learning more and more.

I'm with you too! Trying to cut out all the chemicals and fake foods. My husband and I buy mostly all non-GMO food. I have a gluten allergy and since then I have noticed that I react to lots of different grains not just gluten containing ones, I can eat non-GMO corn but cannot handle GMO corn. We also only have grass-fed beef, because we are what we eat ate.

I am so on board with this!! My boyfriend and I just watched a great documentary called 'GMO OMG' and it was so eye opening. We already tried to eat healthier but are working even harder now to eat local, organic, and sugar free and avoid GMOs as much as possible. We are also trying to eliminate chemicals from our daily lives so I just made chemical free laundry detergent!! It makes me excited to do laundry lol

That was an excellent documentary! I scrolled on this just as I was out the door to our local natural foods store

I'd love to have organic non GMO friends. My friends sometimes consider me a food militant. Hum.

As a horticulturist our family has grown as much of our own fruits & veggies as possible for a long time. Local is a stroll to garden or orchard eating & preserving excess in season.

Last year we started to raise free range chickens to control the tick population & quail. Apparently quail eggs are a superfood ... brought down my total cholesterol 35 points in 3 months just eating 3-5 eggs a day. Plus they are creamy & delicious little morsels that don't require bread. I put them on roasted veggies, spinach cakes whatever's in the fridge.

I am quite passionate about eating organic and non-Gmo food as much as I can. Another good documentary is Forks Over Knives. I grew up eating lots of processed garbage and I'm thankful that I was able to see over the years how destructive that lifestyle can be. My husband and I are looking forward to growing our own food. We live in Montana so it is fairly easy to harvest wild game. Give me elk or venison over franken chicken any day.

I am allergic to every chemical, additive, preservative, food color. I must eat organic. I have headaches when I get any chemical. The headaches ware chronic. I still get a headache if we eat out or at friends houses who don't read labels. It took me a while to figure out. I've had them since I was a small child. So I also do not eat processed food.
I have developed relationships with farmers . I know the people who raise the animals I eat. They are raised in organic fields. Grass fed cows,in wonderful fields of organic grasses. Pigs are raised is an oak tree forest. I am waiting for a pig in march. When he eats enough acorns the time will be right, I'll get a call. I have a hunter friend who barters with me. I get a venison from him every year. He is also a meat cutter. He processes my meat. I have my own free range hens for eggs. My aunt raises turkey.
I grow organic. What I can't grow, I buy from local certified farms. I have met and gotten to know the gardeners. I feel that is important. I found one that lies. He spotted buying produce at a large wholesale market by a friend who is in the business.. He doubled the price and sold it as organic. People know how allergic I am and watch out for me.
Yellow number 5 is my worst. It will land me in the hospital. It's in everything. Farm raised fish also. My grandmother was full blooded Cherokee. She and my mother and sisters are allergic to processed foods. We also get hives and have severe reactions to pharmaceutical drugs. My father was second generation Swedish. His family were farmers. My Swedish grandma was pretty much allergic to all chemicals too. She taught me to use herbs to heal with.
I figured out that I only do well with food my ancestors ate. There has not been enough generations, only two, eating processed food.
