As I made breakfast this morning it seemed so simple, eggs, bacon and toast. Simple, right? Or was it?
Well it used to be. There used to be a time when people would go to the local store and pick up the bacon, eggs, and bread and not think twice about it. Unfortunately those days are long gone, for me and my family at least they are.
Now the bacon is hormone, antibiotic and nitrate free. The eggs are organic from a local farm. The bread I make to be sure it is preservative free and I know exactly what is in it. I cooked the breakfast on pans that are not non-stick to make sure the chemicals from non-stick (Teflon) cookware do not enter the food and possibly poison it. I used spatulas that are also stainless steel, no plastic here, to be sure that there are no chemicals that can leech into our food.
Seemed like a simple breakfast until you realize that there was alot of thought that went into the ingredients that go into the food that is served in my home everyday.
As sad as it may seem, there will never be another day that goes by that I don't know exactly what is in the food, or how it was grown that I feed my family. I cannot trust that my own government agency that is "supposed to" protect me and my family will actually do so.
As I looked at the meal I was making and thought about this, I longed for the days when going to the local store for all of these items wasn't toxic to my family. And it used to be the way things were. All before our government and big business started to run our food, and doing a damn awful job at it. AHHHH Long before Monsanto. Long before the company that created the toxic Round-up started to create our food.
A simple breakfast? Not in my house! But is it the best, safest breakfast my family could have!
Till next blog...
