I saw this “Grocery Star Wars” animation a long time ago and enjoyed it, and just ran across it again a few days ago. It’s a cute parody of Star Wars made to alert people to some of the serious problems in food production today – overuse of chemicals, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), and the fact that big corporation interests are controling the food chain.

It’s a myth GMO foods are safe!

Getting to know a local farmer and buying food locally there or at a Farmer’s Market is a step in the right direction. Or look for food grown organically.  Stay away from pretend food as much as possible and load up on fresh foods!

Just be aware of what you’re eating!

May The Farm Be With You!

I was poking around on YouTube, and decided to do a search for health food videos just to see what might be there.  Interestingly enough, the first one to pop up was entitled, “Why Soy is NOT a Health Food“, a subject I wrote about a while back.

This video touches on some things I’d mentioned, plus a few more. 

 
It also gives specifics on which soy foods are bad, and why.

However, fermented soy such as the following:

• Miso
• Natto
• Soy sauces
• Tempeh

are actually beneficial. They are aids in preventing and reducing a variety of diseases including certain forms of heart disease and cancers.

Dr. Mercola says, “Understand that I am in no way opposed to soy consumption, only improper soy consumption.  Fermented soy, which includes natto, miso and tempeh, is a healthy food and should be consumed by the masses.”

So although popular non-fermented soy products like fresh and dry soybeans, tofu and soy milk aren’t really health foods, fermented soy foods are good for you.
