RE: Gluten Free Series Part Three: Four Reasons to Ditch Wheat
I learned more about roundup use and exactly how it interacts with plants and soil this summer. I had no idea it was a systemic herbicide, meaning it penetrates every aspect of a plant, right into the cells. I also wasn't aware it was used for dry down on non-GMO crops, such as wheat, sunflowers, oats, sugarcane, dried beans, etc.
Just one more reason to avoid wheat and try to eat only organic foods....
Yes, words escape me for the toxicity of glyphosate. The more I read, the more appalled I am. I fell down the rabbit hole while researching for my posts and I think I will continue writing about this topic. I don't think people realize how polluted the food supply has become. Sometimes, even I forget so I was grateful for the reminder, however depressing it was. Matt and I were reaffirmed in our decision to pursue the homestead and growing our own food despite how challenging the process has been. Thanks again for stopping by, I really enjoy connecting with you. -Aimee
Yes, I often think about how bad the food supply is. That was the #1 reason we started raising our own, and why we try to do as much teaching about food as we can.
