It's IMPORTANT to choose ORGANIC, by Heather Havey

"It's IMPORTANT to choose ORGANIC," by Heather Havey, M.A.

Earth sustains our life, and when we make choices, let us choose EARTH, LIFE, NATURAL, and that means - more than anything else - ORGANIC.

Pesticides are designed to kill. That is what they do best. And they do not know when to stop killing, and they will not stop killing.
This includes pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and so on. Also, chemical fertilizers are not an ideal choice for growing food and have been linked with heavy metal poisoning.

Please remember this. Pesticides kill. They build up in your muscles and fatty tissues, for life, and they increase your chances for diseases such as cancers, neurological disorders, and mental illness.

A vegetarian diet that consists of conventional produce is AT LEAST as dangerous for health as a meat/dairy/standard American diet. And it is just as bad for Earth, plants, insects, and animals.

A CONVENTIONAL VEGETARIAN DIET IS DANGEROUS. It is especially important that children eat organically.

Please choose organic. Please choose for this to be non-negotiable in your life. How?

(1) Support local organic farms and CSA's (community supported agriculture).
(2) Shop at health food stores, local coops, and local farms.
(3) If you shop in a supermarket, choose only organic options.

Why? Because this is about your life, and is also about the well-being of the entire planet. With each purchase and each meal, you are choosing between life and death, between highest quality living and lower qualities of living.

Do you make excuses to defend an unhealthy lifestyle? The solution: choose not to make excuses anymore.

Humans are very creative; and we do care. So please, reduce excuses, and choose health: CHOOSE ORGANIC.
Worried about money? You will "pay now or pay later" (in health bills and bad health).
