Veggies

I have been listening to a new book on CD in my car. It is by the same woman who wrote year of meats . It is called all over creation and it follows a similar theme of trying to help consumers stop harming their bodies with the food they put into it. It is about the produce we eat however. It introduced me to the vocab "genetically engineered" Which is when at the genetic level the produce is cross-bred with a pesticide or in some cases fish to help the mass production of the produce. WOW. I def. need to get me some research on this because it sounds CRAZY. It has however inspired me to grow my own vegetables. My parents have a vegetable garden and I have always loved the food that comes from it. I have contemplated this idea before due to the healthiness of it. Unfortunately I rent a house so I cannot till the backyard to do this. Recently though Menomonie has developed a community garden. I need to get involved with this!!

This weekend I worked in Osceola where my boyfriend is from. He took me to a beautiful waterfall and we traveled in the downtown area of Osceola. It was super nice and really impressed me with the growing wonderfulness of this boy. :)
