I eat fairly clean comapred to most people I know, but I still have to question what has actually been done to my food?!
I look forward to the day when I'm able to produce enough food that I don't need to purchase anything. Not sure if that's actually possible, but it's worth a shot in my opinion.
We are so bombarded with toxins, flourinde in the drinking water, pesticides, preservatives along with the geonegineering you mentioned I'm amazed that we are not in even worse shape!
Wouldn't that be the day! I hope to have a garden of my own someday, too. Here in Arizona, it's super difficult to grow anything with the heat of summer, so I'll have to hold out for a hydroponics solution or something.
And don't get me started on fluoride! ;)
I live in northern AZ, in the high desert and we have a difficult time growing anything too. This year we're going to try lots of shade cloth and see if that helps. As I mentioned in my comment above, I had to go on a raw Paleo diet to save my life -- since I have horrible reactions to most fruits and vegetables -- even ones labeled "organic". There are only two fruits I can eat without a reaction -- bananas and avocados. So my first meal of the day is one of these smoothies. I talked to someone who explained to me that many of the organic herbicides/pesticides are more toxic than some of the commercial ones. Soooooo I'm going to try growing my own fruits and veggies since I successfully grew tomato plants out here 2 years in a row and I ate all the tomatoes I wanted with no reaction -- which is very encouraging to me! For this year I'm envisioning a healthy garden and a getting a green house built.
