Is our food fit to eat ?

Last week I woke up to read in the newspapers that in Jamaica we are now giving farmers banana suckers to plant that are insect proof - all I could say is thank God I don't like bananas, but who am I fooling..... isn't that what the poor Jamaican farmers have been dying for - fruits and vegetables that wont succumb to pests, insects, fungus you name it - isn't this now the answer to their plight and isn't this now going to make people like me even sicker?

My new favourite saying is "you die if you do, you die if you don't" as it seems no matter how much you fight, big 'Pharma' is lined up against you so I just hope my little organic people keep going, they now have eggs and chickens (which I can't eat) and are forging on.

Today another piece of startling news - they are making purple strawberries crossed with fish genes, decaffeinated coffee is made with methylene chloride commonly used as paint remover and a known cancer-causing agent. Soy protein shakes caused 3 men to stop making testosterone, it's being researched as we speak. These things really make me feel good and have lots of confidence in whats passing my lips - NOT !!!
I wouldn't touch decaffeinated coffee nor would I have a purple strawberry but I've eaten yellow melon and it was simply delicious. Then I thought to myself exactly how did they get this melon bright yellow ,I decided it was a GMO and haven't touched another but really unless I grow something how do I know what I'm eating? When drinking a cup of coffee we should make sure it's organic as that's one of the crops that uses the most herbicides and fungicides etc. now I read that coffee helps to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's, but I have to make sure I find an organic brand .....really?

YOU DIE IF YOU DO, YOU DIE IF YOU DONT ........ EVERYTHING IN MODERATION PEOPLE!
