Beef, its whats for dinner

I don't know about your but I always love summer! We love to be with friends, drink lemonade (or beer) and  bbq up some delicious hamburgers and hotdogs.

Well, this summer there has not been much grilling. I guess I should have just gone to McDonalds and picked up a delicious  burger for me and my family. Its not the 'real deal' but it should do, right?!

Yeah, Right! I just found, thanks to MickyD's, and their recipe list that their food is anything but clean, healthy and even remotely appetizing; even if you don't know what GMOS or preservative are. It shares all the items on their menu, down to apples and gives every ingredient. Stop reading, take a minute and look this over. This is probably the recipe list at most restaurants/fast food chains, not just Ronald's house! We are so into having food last longer and longer that we go to nasty, unhealthy extremes to make "food", if you can even it call it that.

"Ill have a double cheeseburger hold the BHT bun, McRib with a side of yoga mat and a non-dairy, milkshake."

Another interesting fact thanks to Occupy Monsanto:

I did make a call to Verde Farms about their Kirkland Organic Beef from Costco. They state on their package there are no hormones or preservatives. I also called and they said their beef is 100% grass-fed, no grain is given to their cows, (sometimes it is used as a finisher after a cow has eaten grain for months).

Where to buy beef? Whole Foods, Local Farmers or you could stop eating meat all together. Since our food supply is becoming more and more contaminated with GMO's and big government, you may want to consider a small garden or more local shopping in all areas of your food.

Corn Tortillas

I have been looking for corn tortillas and corn kernels that are GMO free.

I found one brand, Tropical Traditions that sells whole kernel corn that must be cooked and
one brand of corn tortillas that is in the process of being GMO verified.

Nice to know I dont need to start growing my own corn....ill start that next year!

Organic, yeah right!

So, I did a little research last week on my driscol ORGANIC raspberries. I called and asked the difference between non organic and organic.

"with organic we use a blower to get bugs off, if there are bugs (depending on the season) that wont come off with the blower we use the 'approved' organic pesticides.

SO, you're telling me that IM STILL EATING PESTICIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"When people are buying organic food, they often make the incorrect assumption that there are no pesticides. It's true that organic production often uses fewer dangerous chemicals, but certain pesticides are allowed" Jeff Gillman

Thankfully there is an official list of approved pesticides.

This makes me wonder why I even buy organic.

Here is a great blog article: Organic Pesticides: Not An Oxymoron
