Most people have a love-hate
relationship with food. We love to eat, but we hate to shop, hate
to cook, and hate to clean up. And of course, we worry about our
weight. Why is this? Perhaps it's because food reminds us that life
is not only fun, but also fragile, frustrating, frightening, and
mystifying.
Life is a metabolic mystery.
No matter who we are or what we do, we all have to eat and drink
and go to the bathroom. But how and why the food we eat transforms
itself into life, and ultimately waste, is a mystery that science
cannot fully explain.
It's hard to live with such
profound uncertainty. So we try to distract ourselves with fast
food, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and entertainment. And we try to
ignore the biological basis of life - especially the connection
between food and waste.
However, there is one person
who cannot ignore the connection between food and waste - the
farmer. He knows that crops depend on compost and manure. He
understands the cycle of life, and he keeps us alive. We owe him
our gratitude.
We owe a special debt of
gratitude to the organic farmer. He understands that the life cycle
of crops should not be contaminated with toxic chemicals, such as
pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. He also understands that
farming must be safe for the farmer, the consumer, the land, the
water, and the animals. He is a true pioneer for health and
ecology.
You can also be a pioneer
for health and ecology. First, follow the advice in
organicMD.org. Second, support
organic farmers and encourage conventional farmers to become
organic. Third, support health food stores and encourage
supermarkets to carry organic products. Fourth, share your
knowledge and experience with family, friends, physicians, and
public officials. Your health and your planet depend on you.
