  THE WAR IS ON!

Every day that this war goes on in the courts and we lose, our government is telling us they support corporate profits over the health of it's own people.

The majority of people don't even know it's going on, only those of us in the trenches see it being fought every day.

We are at war this very minute. It's not being fought with guns or by the armed forces, it's being fought one battle at a time, one consumer at a time, one organic farmer at a time. in the courts and at the grocery stores, and those in the trenches are every small, independent organic organization, sustainable food network, organic and sustainable publication, organic farm family and every consumer that wants to preserve their freedom of choice and their way of life!

It's the war between organics and Monsanto, and the only people who are aware that it is going on every single day are those out there fighting for your right to have safe, healthy food. if you aren't buying and supporting organics, you're supporting Monsanto, Dow Chemicals, DuPont and all the other chemical companies.  One organic farmer in Australia, Steve Marsh, is in court as we speak because he lost his organic certification when his fields became contaminated by a nearby Monsanto field. He more than likely will not win, because if he did, the courts would be filled with farmers suing their neighbors for loss of income due to contamination from Monsanto, and the courts don't want that. It doesn't matter how much support he gets from his internet campaign #Iamstevemarsh, the courts cannot let him win.

Which brings us back to YOU. Joe Consumer. Only you can make a difference and bring about justice in this war for safe, clean food. If you are not buying organic, you are supporting Monsanto and all their poisons, it's as simple as that. Because every major brand that is not organic utilizes Monsanto products directly or indirectly in the process of making their products. And organic is currently in danger of becoming extinct due to contamination from nearby chemical fields - which is exactly what Monsanto wants. For organics to go away. They will try and destroy organic farmers anyway they can even if they have to pollute them out. And our court systems are helping them.

YOU have a choice to make. Will you continue letting corporations poison your food, or will you step up and say NO, no more. I don't want to be sick, my family sick, my kids sick, my pets sick anymore? I want to live a happy, healthy, safe life as promised to me by my Declaration of Independence and all those who lost their lives to create it, not spend my life in and out of hospitals with cancer, diabetes, obesity, food allergies and a barrage of other diseases, illnesses and conditions. I will spend my money on healthy foods rather than medical bills, hospital care, surgeries and medications to combat a system that is corrupt and damaging to our happiness and well-being.

The Declaration of independence states that: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Every time our courts side with the chemical companies over the health of it's own people, it is destroying our rights to life and happiness and most certainly safety and happiness and to freedom of choice. The right to have a choice to not eat foods laden with toxic chemicals if we choose not to. Every time organics loses a court case, our government is taking away our ability to have a choice other than toxic foods. Every time our courts tell us they won't label GMOs, they are telling us that they will force us to eat food that has not be adequately tested for long term effects rather than allow us to make the choice for ourselves.

This war is all about freedom of choice. The right to have a choice and not to have our government and big business dictate what we can and can't eat. How we live. If we will be healthy or not, how we spend our money, how we live our lives. This is a fight for our right to be healthy if we choose. Nobody should have the power to tell us we have to eat toxic chemicals and live in an environment being destroyed by such. We passed laws to ban smoking in public places because we determined that people have a right to not be forced to inhale health-damaging secondhand smoke. Yet our government agencies such as the FDA, USDA and our courts are forcing us to ingest dangerous toxins every day. Where are our rights when big corporate money is involved? Apparently that is where our government will keep telling us we have no rights. When money is more important to them than lives.

You may not believe in organics, or choose to support it for whatever reason, but as a citizen of this planet, who breathes the same air we do, drinks the same water, or claims to be an American, you SHOULD want to support your right to have choices and not live in a dictatorship. It is your DUTY, as stated by the Declaration of Independence. After all, isn't that what America is suppose to be all about? The land of the free, the brave, freedom of choice. Even if you don't believe in fighting for anything else, you should band together with those who are currently fighting for everything American is suppose to stand for. Band together with them to fight for your right to have choices, freedom over dictatorship from a government and court system that's for corporate profit, by corporate profit, instead of by the people for the people.

Do it! Do it now! You want to support Steve Marsh in his court case? You want to support your freedom of choice? Do it today! Stop by an organic market on your way home and buy one 100% organic product. Make sure it says it's organic and not natural. Natural is NOT organic. And if we can make a suggestion? Make your one product a piece of fresh, in-season, organic produce. You will taste the difference - that alone makes it worth the money.

Staying away from highly processed refined white sugars around Halloween can be next to impossible. But we said "next to."

Some cooks think meringue is complicated and difficult to make but it's not at all if you remember a couple key rules when making it. It only took me about 5 minutes to whip up a batch of these. Just follow this recipe exactly and you will not have any problems. Our recipe also has a little hidden surprise to it.
