I don’t talk too much about it, but my health and general feeling of well-being weighs heavily on my mind most of the time. I have a great friend in California who has been instrumental in helping me with all of my medical tests (both in which tests to request from my doctor, and in how to read the results in ways my doctor never would), as well as in my diet (or lack thereof, ha ha) and supplementation. She has given me leads to almost everything I do to stay well and to feel good. I owe her a lot.

Her sister, however, whom I have never had the pleasure of meeting, has some medical problems of her own. She has a blog that she started, writing about her own path to healing; one post in particular (watch the video embedded on the post in addition to reading her blog post) got me really thinking. I’ve watched the video myself several times, which led me to some online searches, and some reading, and more reading, and more reading… you know, it’s the internet. It’s infinite. I’ve been thinking and rethinking what I eat for a several years now, but this video really put a lot of what I was already feeling and thinking into perspective. The information is very palatable without being dumbed down. I want everyone I know to watch it.

You have to watch the video to understand what I’m going to start rambling about. Go now… watch. You can read this later!

The subject of our food supply is very important to me, and it’s something that I follow. I don’t speak much about it because it is a big political topic, really, and I don’t really enjoy talking (or rather arguing) politics. The corporate takeover of our food supply, and the history behind how it was allowed it to happen and allowed to continue is mind-boggling. I think that if people really looked into what they are eating and what it actually IS, or possibly what it ISN”T, we would all be up in arms about it! GMOs are a big deal. No, THEY ARE A BIG DEAL!! And truly that is just one teeny tiny tip of the iceberg example of what is taking us all down one bite at a time. It’s our food supply! Oh my God, it seems like no one even cares, it hardly makes the news radar. We’re so wrapped up in wars and gas prices and banning marriage between same-sex couples and GOD forbid allowing women to choose…

If you felt like I do every day, you would care. If it took you days to recover after you ate pizza, you would care. If you sneezed for half an hour after you ate something with preservatives in it, you would care. If you could block out the propaganda and the bullshit and see the truth in the statement “Everything they used to say was good for you isn’t anymore,” maybe you would care.

It’s true! Nothing is the same as it was, and its been changing (not for the better) for years!

Today I decided to stop reading and take some action. I went to a farm and bought myself some real raw milk. I feel that I am entitled to feed myself real food, unaltered by big business or the government.

I’ll let you know how it tastes. Maybe a little bit like victory, I’m hoping.
