READ THE FREAKING LABEL

[Noahs-Mom]

I have to say, I have been researching diets additives preservatives hormones and other stuff that is added into our foods. The FDA decides these chemicals are 'safe' and then they are used in mass in everything. Here is my issue we have an alarming amount of people who are ill have auto-immune issues. Autism is on the raise and I do not feel that will change any time soon. 

My frustration is how long with corporate America get away with in essence poisoning us, our kids ect. Why is it that people don't read labels? Educate themselves on what they are putting into themselves and their kids? Why can't PEOPLE take responsibility for what they eat?

Big corporate America doesn't have to be responsible for feeding us endless amount of genetically altered weirdest. If we has a whole would read, educate ourselves and REFUSE to buy overly processed crap corporate America would either have to get on board or go broke. Beings everything is ruled by the Oh-Mighty-dollar I promise they would change. 

But no. People will never take responsibility. Why? In my opinion it is because it is inconvenient. If you don't know then you don't need to worry about it right? Turn a blind eye. 

Seriously people! Do you not think that processed crap in a box that you are feeding yourself AND you kids is harming them?!!!

I have posted more then once about the fact that my oldest son Noah has PKD -Poly-cyistic kidney.- He has a very carefully planned diet. I spent years researching whatever may harm his system or put unneeded stress on his system. Yea I read nearly daily on this for 2 or so years. I am still reading on it. The more I read about the gross amounts of chemicals in packaged 'convenient'  food the more annoyed I get. 

Noah is one of a small very small group of kids that has a new mutation to PKD. He is the HEALTHIEST child they have seen with this disorder. Period. His specialist spent 2 hours talking to me about what I have done that has made such a difference. Noah has the potential to live a healthy normal life without restriction from his PKD. Which is nothing short of amazing if you have ever read up on this. 

Also we are at risk that our youngest son Eli although tested out fine in womb for not having PKD that is no guarantee that he will develop it later in life. My hope of course is that this will never come to be. I will keep reading and do whatever I can to help them.

Why? I feel in part because I do read. I do know the negative side effects of this junk that they are feeding the masses by the truck load. Yes I am a hippie. Yes I read EVERY label of ANYTHING I put in the grocery chart. Why? because it is my job to protect my kids bodies so they can have the chance to grow up healthy. 

TAKE RESPONCIBILTY FOR YOUR FAMILY AND READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
