Some unsafe fruits and veggies if not organic...

Ok so I mentioned in a response to Rebecca that some veggies and fruits are less safe to eat when you buy them conventional (thats with a number 4 ahead of the numbers)...I got this list from the raw school and it was adapted from "Diet for a Poisoned Planet' by Davied Steinman.... Ive never read it seen it so I cant saw if its good or not but I really do believe that we should at least be aware of some of the fruits and veggies that could be harmful because of the chemicals that are used on them...I will include just the Marginally safe if eaten sparingly and the Unsafe...Again these are just lists but I do take chemical food seriously...

Also I would recommend the movie 'The Future of Food' (they sell it at whole foods i think)- yes it might make you cry but its so important to have more information whether we agree disagree or if it doesnt change us...we seldom think about where how our food get to us whats in it and whos meddling with the genetics of what we eat just bringing that awareness into our minds our thoughts is so important --- weve all been blind about eating for many years and performed quick fixes for hunger boredom depression anger guilt...now that we are all conscious eaters its important i think to wake up and become active in groups that support organics and are against genetically modified foods...when I watched that movie at the raw school I was amazed at what i learned and I felt a very big push to go further and really take a stand and use my voice in the larger arena...I was always annoyed with 'activists' in a way I thought oh theyve just found another cause what difference will it make - a friend of mine says yeah they are just a bunch of hippies and dont do shit so being an activist is something...but someone has hold the voice of people for health the voice of truth for the earth...if you watch this movie some of you might just be compelled to become activists in you communities! I did! (also of course when i read silent spring long ago by rachel carson that sort of sealed the deal - its amazing whats hidden covered ignored---all things we are dealing with individually with our food our bodies).

This is not to scare or make rules but just to become aware...fruits and veggies have cells have memory and the unsafe ones on the list absorb too much of the chemical in most instances....or are sprayed differently and dangerously....and as a result this does change them and in turn our bodies...! Also variety of veggies and fruits are at the lowest---they are killing out variety by introducing GMO foods....look at the corn industry! Watch the movie it will stir something in you!

Miss you guys! Hope to see you all soon in SLC!
