There is no question that the high prices we all pay for the goods and services we use no doubt compel us to be consumer savvy when it comes to finding the best deal. This is true even when it comes to the food we purchase for our families. Sadly, most Americans aren't always sure where their food products are coming from. Are you?
Too often we are quick to purchase goods from foreign countries with little or no knowledge as to what it is we are actually getting in order to save a few bucks. Will we all become dependent on imported goods in the near future simply because of lower costs? Is that a safe situation for us to be in?
At M&B Farview Farm, we have seen a growing interest in our farm products. Consumers are concerned with e-coli that has come from large meat processing plants across the U.S. and in foreign countries. They are also frustrated with inadequate labeling issues by milk producers here is the U.S. And they have every reason to be concerned.
Many Americans are now making informed decisions when it comes to the food they eat.
More and more consumers are taking the time to educate themselves about naturally raised food products and the healthy benefits that can be obtained by making right choices. They are learning how the animals are raised, their diet and exercise levels, what chemicals are used, processing and packaging practices as well as the economic benefits of buying local.
Locally grown and naturally raised products will cost you a little bit more; however, the quality of these products far surpasses that which you would find at any grocery store.
It is like comparing a Cadillac to a Yugo.
Take a look at the general health of our country. Adults AND children are over-weight and suffer from such serious conditions as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes etc. It is no secret that most often these conditions stem from the type diet we consume.
I guess it is the old saying "you are what you eat". If you eat poor quality food, (processed, chemically laden, mishandled) your health and your wallet will suffer in many ways. Garbage in, garbage out.
The solution to these problems is to stay away from processed foods that come from factory farms and make the switch to healthy, naturally raised foods. Within 6 months a noticeable difference in overall health will be realized and you will never want to go back to your old ways of eating!
I can no longer tolerate fast foods or restaurants. Not only do they not taste as good, but they also give me nausea, stomach pain, etc.. I guess it is my body's way of telling me that it's just not good for me! I have lost 40 pounds. I do not take any medications and I enjoy a primary meat and dairy diet from our farm, so I am living proof that this is most definitely the better way to live. I made the switch and so can you!
