Introduction
This post will be your simplified guide in going Organic and
how to make that change in small steps.
We have been doing this slow transition for the last 18
months and still making this lifestyle change.
You make ask why we decided to go down this avenue? Well, for the sake of our children, so they
do not get the illnesses and allergy we are all suffering with.
One of the main reasons why we decided to make the switch to
organic was the steadily decline in the nutritional content in the everyday
foods we eat. Think about it, if you can
get 2lts of supermarket milk for 89p, how is it possible for a farmer to make
any profit from it? The only logical conclusion is that such little care and
compassion has gone into milk production that my family was completely put off
from drinking it.
When it came to fruit and vegetables we have seen an
increase in the spraying of chemicals and pesticides on our crops by men
wearing white suits because of the hazardous chemicals may come into contact
with their skin? Alarm bells started ringing in our heads with one thought, so
how it is safe to spray this stuff on the food we eat?’ GMOS, MSG’s plastic
ingredients are all contributing factors to why our food choices need careful
consideration.
Over the last decade we are seeing an overall decline in our
community’s health. Cancer, diabetes, blood pressure, heart problems, thyroid
conditions are just a few. These kinds of illnesses were very rare back in the
days now deaths linked to cancer especially is increasing.
We would ask that you do some research via YouTube on the
above topics, don’t just take our word for it, research what is in the foods
you are eating and you will be shocked and hopefully awakened into thinking
more ethically with regards to where and what you are eating.
If you are vegetarian like me, you think that you are not causing
any harm to animals? Well think again…!

Where to start?
We made the change with our dairy products we consume. So that’s Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, Butter and Margarine. At first we started with buying Yeo Valley
products which you can buy from your local supermarket. Have a look at their website for more
information: https://www.yeovalley.co.uk/faqs
Though we now consume Organic Raw milk, straight from the
udder which is not pasteurised or homogenised…
I’ll further go into this in my future posts.
Whenever talking about going organic is discussed with our circle
of friends, one of the main factors that put’s people off, is the price. Again, we’ve been making these small changes
over the last 18 months, it hasn’t been an overnight change. Decide which product you would like to change
to and continue until you feel you are ready to move onto the next product.
