First of all, organic, fresh vegetables and fruits taste so much better. Second they are not fertilized and given pesticides that are chemicals foreign to the human body (not as God intended). Third of all, there are many microorganisms in soil that are drawn up into the plant. These organisms are living and when we eat the plant products we then receive these living microorganisms into our bodies which transfer their life giving properties to us. Chemicals greatly reduce the amounts of these life transferring microorganisms. Fourth of all, now with genetically engineered seeds taking genes from unrelated plants, fungus etc. and splicing them artificially to other seeds the very essence of the life giving properties that were ordained by God are being tampered with. This is actually akin to sacrilege. God made seeds to reproduce after their kind. When we mess with this we are messing with God. Nothing good can come of it. Once again, this is how The LORD made things to work. He did not intend our crops to be lathered in artificial chemicals just to get more crops in a cheaper way.
If you read the Old Testament, The LORD was extremely intense about making sure the Israelites let the ground go fallow for one year every seven years. This is God's economy. This replenished the ground with essential nutrients for food plants to take up. It was not a casual matter to The LORD. The Israelites did not follow this rule and were punished with being conquered and having to live in a foreign land, Babylon, for seventy years to make up for each year that they did not leave their land go fallow as according to His commandment. We all think that we can do it better than He but when are we going to learn that going cheap may cost us too much in the end.
Almost any "study" can be made to say anything that the supporters of the "study" want them to say. You have to really watch who is doing the study and who is funding it. The people doing the "study" may be ignorant as to what it is that is actually essential. The perimeters that they set may not be valid.
Check out the proliferation of a myriad of diseases these days. This is not coincidental. It is because we are messing around with the very nature, in many ways, that The LORD intended for food to be and we are reaping the horrible consequences.
As far as thinking that only liberals care about the quality of their food I know many Conservatives that care deeply about what they are feeding themselves and their families. To go back to basics and the things that are fundamental are should not be the left's prerogative but should be any true Conservatives quest. Taking care of our families in the best way possible and not being taken in by the propaganda of those who main interest is their own profit should be one of the priorities of Conservatives. The very word conservative implies that we care about basics and going back to them rather they be morally, politically , financially or in the realm of the food we feed our families and the things we find important to spend our money on.
The very word conservative implies that we care about basics and going back to them rather then being morally, politically, financially or in the realm of the food we feed our families and the things we find important to spend our money on not responsible. Conservatives above all others should lead responsible lives on every front including the food we eat and feed our families. We should be leading the charge for real and healthy food.
