One more reason to add to the "Why I Garden" answer :

"If you want to rid your diet of bug extracts, you'll need to avoid not only reddish foods but also many shiny ones. Shellac, made from the excretions of insects, is used to glaze everything from apples to coffee beans. If you get really obsessed, you may starve; blended-in insect remnants are everywhere. The FDA permits a typical jar of peanut butter to contain over 100 bug parts. A can of tomatoes can include one maggot or up to nine fly eggs."

That's good enough reason for me, if you read the whole article you'll have even more reason. I know the best reason is "because it fun" but you know we always wonder why there are so many health problems. Maybe, just maybe, its not just our environment..although with all the production of store goods its that too.

As ya'll know I am a hairstylist and we joke about hair being in our food, air , drinks, breath , under nails, in our skin etc.  Now in that article you will see they say we pretty much eat hair everyday.

 Lets plant gardens edible gardens and plenty of them.

(Now I'll be off to work to breath, eat , and drink more hair :( if you wonder how I found this info I was looking into the price of rice getting higher ...how to store it)

Good health to you all! Garden, Garden , Garden!
