Economic Struggles and Encouragment From the Past!

Once Upon a Time, The Government Encouraged Self-Sufficiency ......

Now, they require our dependency, through GMO crops, GMO seed patent laws, fast foods, regulations on raw milk/eggs/meats, taxation, flu shots - and the list goes on.

With the economy, especially in Alberta, being extremely tight and most of us balancing a budget tighter than bankers fist, we need hope. Hope that even though things are tough, they weren't as tough as Wartimes - and even THAT wasn't s bad as the Dirty 30's depression.

So what did folks do? They grew. And they shared. Then they survived. So too shall we!

I came across these War Time posters from the US, and suddenly realized - holy crap - in just over 50 years we've come full circle in our mindset ... and that is ALL it is: a mindset!

Living Right, Living in Balance, takes patience and hard work.

We are a fast-food society, and have completely lost our connection with nature .... simply  because we're greedy, impatient and like to be first in line - for everything. 
Our society has cultivated this in us, and we've ungraciously accepted.

Shame on us.

My message is short and sweet: get back to basics.

Live a sustainable and symbiotic existence through hard work and real food and we will fight drought, hunger, obesity, anxiety, developmental disorders, family crisis disorders (yes, I went there), depression, low poverty and famine.

Eat Fresh. Buy Local. KNOW What You Eat. 

Enjoy ... Don't let it be lost on you.
