Skills that need to be taught for reasons beyond eating.

This blog is being posted on my  Not Just Yours...Mid Century Collectibles blog making it a dramatic switch in conversation from Mid Century is the first of what I term as the beginning of my new blog called "TheBrookinsReview"  to broaden interest on subjects related to gardening and health.

What we eat and the health issues that are derived by the foods we consume.  But the switch is of importance and I proceed on this premise.

My research on the subject of RBGH and GMO in relation to this article stem from Dr. Mercola and his article
"The cancer time bomb sitting in your refrigerator..will you stop consuming it?
Please refer to this article for more information plus you can download a copy of the transcript right from the site.   

The fact of our US government departments being  manipulated by corporations at the cost of the consumer without any concern of the health ramifications endured by the consumers is appalling.

It is my understanding that  Monsanto is one of the largest if not thee largest producer of GMO seed and now come to find out that they provide RBGH for cows and that they were put in charge of conducting the study on the effects of this for lack of better words "growth hormone" that is administered to cows in order to produce more milk.

Even with the farmers screaming that the cows will be sick you will produce Mastitis in the cows.
Yet our government continues to allow the use of this RBGH and GMO.
To quote  Dr Mercola "Sure One needs to b pragmatic. Monsanto has effectively infiltrated  almost every significant government position that has any regulatory authority in this area." 
This taken from the transcript downloadable in the article "The Cancer Time Bomb sitting in your refrigerator...will you stop consuming it?

The bottom line in this report is that there needs to be a reversal in the education process. We are here at the adult level but this needs to go back to the children . In that we educate children how to grow food ,making their own food, buying local. Basic gardening skills that are taught in grade school but not put into practice at home.
Here is an example of GOOD education where a "Schools Garden Grows a Lifetime's worht of Skills.
skills being put into practice. This quote from the link above

" If we want children to broaden their palettes, eat the rainbow and make positive life-long wellness choices, then we have to teach them where their food really comes from, what it really tastes like and how to cook it."

You may find that the Grains of Change by Renagade Lunch Lady  has an important impact that just may be the right idea.

 Your feedback on this is important not only in concerns of education and the government issues but how we as consumers can overcome these obstacles.
