Bless This Food to Our Body… (What’s on YOUR plate?) (Part 2 of 4)

Do you know what’s on your plate? Just what is in the food we pray for God to bless?

I’ll never forget the vet telling us not to feed the dog table food because it’s causing dogs to get cancer in record numbers. Why are our doctors not telling us not to eat the food on our table because it causes us to get cancer in increasing numbers?

Generously serving the herbicide, Glyphosate! 

Commonly known as Roundup, the commercial grade is doused on wheat and other crops just before harvest to increase yield. 

Yet, it’s safe to eat?

Yes, that is what is in your healthy bread and cereal and that yummy cake and cookies, and anything else made with wheat and other non-organic grains. 

Sorry to ruin your meal. 

Glyphosate is highly toxic. And it grows into the plants and even gets into the soil and grows into them that way. Furthermore, animals are fed these grains, so we’re getting it in our meat, dairy and eggs, and even farm-raised fish (What? Fish are fed gmo/chemical-laden corn?)!

And I won’t even get into how herbicides and pesticides are killing bees.

Other countries want no part of the grains we grow. That ought to spoil our appetite in itself.

Now let’s add another course to the already contaminated meal on our plate — GMOs (genetically modified organisms). These are plants that have been genetically altered so they are more resistant to insects, viruses and drought. There is much debate about their risks and safety. Supporters of GMOs say they make food production more efficient and economical (to whom?) and are perfectly safe. But health experts say GMOs are linked to increased health problems.

A margarine commercial back in the 70’s gave us the proverbial saying, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.” Mother Nature isn’t fooled at all.

But we have been.

Too many of us believe something is healthy and safe if the food company says it is. Mark Twain said, “It’s easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled.” The proof should be the ailments in our bodies. But are we paying attention to what our bodies are telling us? 

We are what we eat. 

But we are, quite frankly, addicted to the convenience and taste of our modern foods — so much so that many of us don’t even know what real food tastes like. 

Our bodies are intricate and incredible, but they were not made to digest the kinds and amounts of toxins present in our modern food supply.

Maybe our increased modern sicknesses are a side effect from the chemicals and genetically modified food we eat.
