As if you needed another reason for giving up shop produce, and giving growing your own a go, here is another one for you….
Researchers say they have found a link in regards to the increase of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and diabetes to nitrites and nitrates in food processing, preservation and agriculture therefore making these toxin exposure-related diseases. So there goes your bacon if you are eating it, have you ever noticed that it seems to glow in the dark, and have this yellow tinge to it?
We have become totally committed to growing all of our own food over the next few years, we think we will have got to about 30% this year, and know that unless we can get either another allotment, or a piece of land we are unlikely to increase this where we are currently living. But it is a commitment that we have made to ourselves, and daily from the food we are harvesting so far, we both know that it is totally the right decision.
Why are these people putting this stuff into our foods, just ask yourself who this really benefits, it is not for the good of our health, and to us it just seems that it benefits the pharmaceutical companies. They are the only ones who’s profits get larger from the population becoming iller.
Anyway we officially have a glut of courgettes, and our neighbour’s are starting to benefit from our allotment. We planted 2 types one of them being 8 ball courgettes, which as you can imagine should be just like a pool ball. Well we laughed when we returned to our allotment today after 2 days of solid rainfall, as we found courgette balls the size of footballs. We will be stuffing them and we have been living off them already for days, and we think we probably have a few weeks left of having too many courgettes!
