Our food is dead.

I have at least two friends who's younger children were born with food allergies. Last week I witnessed an allergic reaction of one of these babies and I don't know if I've seen something similarly scary ever before. A child and her body's disfiguring reaction to ... food. Or what we still call "food." In Romania food allergies are almost unknown. I have not met anybody or heard of anybody in my circle of friends and acquaintances who has a food allergy.

This video made me cry. It shows clearly and logically the trajectory of our foods in the past few years.



This documentary helped me finally decide to buy exclusively organic food (not just the dirty dozen), although our food bills skyrocketed.



Watching these videos and learning the outrageous things they reveal is not easy. It makes me sick. But unfortunately we have to know if we do not want to relinquish control of our lives and health, if we want to protect what we can of our children's lives and health.
