A discussion about cancer today with Patty brought up two or three things which we can consider. First off, it seems that nearly everything we eat—especially if it comes out of a box or package—has some kind of chemical in it that is not good for us. But let’s face it, we can’t always have fresh fruit and veggies at our fingertips. In fact, so many, many folks are doing well to have food, fresh or otherwise. Then we look at all the things we use in our daily lives: laundry detergent and fabric softener. Then our shampoo and maybe a conditioner are in the shower stall along with body wash or whatever we use there. The detergent we wash our dishes in might not exactly be good for things besides removing some of the grease on the pans and dishes. Whatever we touch, whatever we eat, whatever we are around the most might have some kind of carcinogenic ingredients. The entire freaking world is made up of folks that are out to make money on the cheapest things that make us feel we ‘have’ to have these things or we are settling for lesser goods. Greed is carcinogenic!

 

Have been reading about the canned foods we buy. So much comes from China. Picked up the little bag of Crystallized Ginger from Nuts.com. It is packaged in someplace called TH. Oh, the company Nuts.com is out of Cranford, NJ, but where the hey is TH? What do you want to bet that the ginger was grown overseas. Then another package was on my table: Gilbert Pecan Co. out of Santo, Texas. Dear Hearts, that came from a place just somewhat south of WF. And you can bet your bippy the pecans were grown down there. Oh, the sugar might have come from somewhere else. After all, we don’t grow sugar cane around here. Even so, the main ingredients are good ol’ Texas pecans.

 

It bothers me to read that the cans produced overseas are lead lined. Yep, another way to get cancer. Guess unless we feed it in our back yard and slaughter the critter in our own kitchen, we cannot guarantee that it will be fit to eat. Not too overly fond of turkey, but one is in my oven presently. It has to be thoroughly cooked and then deboned to put up in Ziplock packages and placed in the freezer. The dogs have to help me eat this thing cause no one else in the family is going to come along and want any. At least it is obvious that it is REAL turkey. An article online said that some of the “lamb” from overseas is actually rat meat. Oh my! That was about enough to turn my stomach. Unless it comes from New Zealand or Australia, let’s just keep our lambs at home and eat only USA lamb.

 

Our world is upside down in so many ways. About the best we can do is pray for those who have been and are affected by diseases. Someday God will heal this world. He may have to roast the place first, but heal it He WILL! So, until then, try to be aware of what you are eating and its origin. But best of all, try to live with love in your mind and heart. The most healing of things for us is His love. We can spread it around just like He does with healing sown in each day and in all our ways.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
