Reconnect With Your Food and Grow Your Own

Growing our own food is something that is not new to human civilization. People have grown their own food for hundreds and thousands of years. It hasn’t been until the past 100 to 200 years that we’ve put that responsibility in the hands of others and the industrialized food system.

I believe that this is one of the reasons for the health and obesity crisis that our country is currently facing. We have come to accept “food” as things that come out of boxes and packages. This “food” is stripped of nutrition and contaminated with chemical sprays.

Over the past few years, I’ve become more conscious and aware of our food choices. I now look deeper into them and can see why they matter, not only to my our own personal health, but to the health of our planet too.

It’s apparent that we have become disconnected from our food source. We now pick our food off of store shelves instead of from the earth.
