You buy organic food? haha

 
I began buying organic, local, and food without antibiotics well before it became a mainstream idea. I remember my family and some friends making fun of me for driving out of my way, spending extra money, and demanding organic and local items at restaurants and grocery stores. I ask a lot of questions.  For some, I can be a little bit embarrassing to shop with when buying food or eating at a restaurant. (picture me with a huge smile) Over a decade later, they have jumped on the movement and even proudly proclaim when they are able to find this or that item locally and grown organically. I no longer have to battle with them over the importance of eating healthy and being green. Now I often receive emails, texts, and Facebook messages asking for my opinion on certain items.

I read a lot. My favorite place is in the library but I cannot deny that there is a wealth of information on the internet. The internet makes it easy to read both sides of the story, helping me to understand the entire problem. I also love to watch documentaries. Again, I watch documentaries from both sides and I often will search related articles to supplement and support/reject their main point further. There is more than enough scientific evidence to support my ways and this growing movement today. I enjoy watching others change their life entirely to make this a way of living. My dream is to one day be able to do the same thing. For us that would mean living in one location and traveling less. Until then, I will continue making friends with farmers all over the USA.
