With spring around the corner, I’ve been thinking about planting my garden. But the research I’ve been doing has woken me up to a scary reality. It’s nearly impossible to get a seed that has not been genetically modified. As I read through the gardening catalogs, I realize that practically every description contains something that the plant is resistant to. That may seem like a good thing on the surface, but think about the fact that the seed has pesticides and herbicides built right in.

You can’t wash it off. It lives inside your body.

Is it too late to have access to truly healthy food? When you can’t get a seed that is not genetically modified, your entire food supply is contaminated.

There was a good reason in the beginning – to make more food. It is not possible to produce enough food to feed everyone. But it’s gone too far, wouldn’t you say?

When it becomes impossible for the people who are motivated to eat real foods to obtain those foods, we have a problem. If the herd chooses to eat whatever is put in front of them without question, so be it. But those of us who are trying to maintain our health, and the health of our families by making smarter choices are finding it increasingly diffiuclt.

If, as this video claims – Monsanto owns most seeds – we are doomed. And if the control of our food supply is now a legal issue – where are the anti-trust laws? Who is monitoring Monsanto? Seems like they’ve been given a blank ticket to do whatever they want, doesn’t it?

Don’t give up the fight!

If you know of a company that sells heritage seeds – please post it here in the comments. We need to show our full support for the companies that provide the foods we need to stay healthy.
