"We share half our genes with the banana."

Tomato: fruit or veggie?
Human: Fruit or Monkey??

Well, according to reports by Robert May of New Scientist magazine, "We share half our genes with the banana."




Apparently we share about 40% DNA with some fish. I can only imagine.. "What is that fishy smell??" "Oh, that's just my banana." Ha ha. Kidding. They likely don't share that many genes. But hey, who knows??

Facts about the Banana:
"Bananas may be ripened at room temperature until they reach the desired stage, then refrigerated and used in a short period of time. Refrigeration may darken the outside of the bananas, but this will not affect the fruit on the inside. In fact, refrigeration allows for longer storage of bananas."

Also, "If you slice bananas with a sterling silver knife they will not darken as fast."

Well, when I find that pesky sterling silver kitchen knife, I'll let you know.


On with Banana Humor.

Why did the banana go out with a prune?
He couldn't find a date. =op




SERIOUSLY, REASONS TO BUY ORGANIC BANANAS:

"During ripening on the tree, bananas are covered in blue plastic. The plastic is infused with an insecticide called Chorpyrifos, a chemical the World Health Organization calls hazardous. When workers open the bags to check the bananas, dust particles fly everywhere and workers are subject to inhaling the chemical. ...

Workers have also become sterile from exposure to DBCP, a pesticide whose effects on the reproductive systems of female workers and mutagenic effects on their children is only beginning to be investigated." says Mark Mulcahey, Produce Mananger of Good Nature foods in California.

Now, I would like to introduce you to the purpose of this blog. The importance of buying, growing and being organic. America's addiction to petrochemicals is terrifying. I fear only fear itself.



"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

I will testify that I am more healthy, more happy and all around more full of joy than ever before. Why? Organic food. I am no longer taking in all the chemicals and dyes and LOADS of corn syrup. I feel more clear, more clairvoyant, closer to the Spirit of God (Source Energy) the more in depth my organic and bio dynamic habits become.

For the sake of your soul, make a change today, no matter how small. It is said in many reports that 'Traditionally' (CHEMICALLY) grown vegetables are empty of nutrition.
Look at the slightly higher price of organic produce this way... you are ACTUALLY getting what you pay for!
Organic fruits and veggies have what you need, the life force that we are all made for. The Sun's pure energy!! Proven to have complete vitamins and minerals, unlike 'Traditional' (CHEMICALLY) grown foods.

Forget the myths about needing to be rich to eat healthy. No need to drive all the way to the big corporate local that carries organic, especially in the summer. Go to your local farmers market.

Still no good you say? Well, get busy and grow your own!
There is no reason to poison yourself and your family any longer. Wake up and grow some bananas! Well, we're not exactly tropical. I'm sure you'll settle for some of your favorite produce to be grown here at home. **Be sure to leave out all the harmful fertilizers and chemicals, you may THINK you need. Think free horse manure...

Another fact, more than ever before are people relying on outside sources to supply their food. Almost ALL of our ancestors grew their own food. On average food from grocery stores are traveling over 1500 miles!!! Imagine the oil it takes to get to you. Then imagine the petrochemicals in it. A lot of it comes from other countries that treat their workers terribly. They are in jeopardy of being killed if they try to organize in many countries. People are suffering & dying for America's food production. Purchase locally grown food that's good for you. Vote with your Dollars, or stay home and make sense.

WARNING!!! The biggest gangster of death dealing petrochemicals used to kill our "enemies" in war, is now attempting to control the world food population.

Christ Said "Love your enemies." ie. have no enemies.

"Mons anto's genetically engineered seeds and chemicals are threatening the world's food supply and environment. Mons anto is also privatizing water. Multi-Billion $$ Mons anto Sues More Small Family Farmers."

What Would Jesus Do??

GROW HIS HAIR LONG AND GARDEN 'TIL THE SUN GOES DOWN!!!!

How do you keep the bugs from eating all your crops?? Well, interestingly enough, organic growers say that on average, they only lose about 10%. Hmmm, what's that part in the bible about giving 10%?!! I'm pretty sure their idea of money was more like FOOD!! And giving 10% back to the Earth that supplies my food, no doubt!!
Gave me the chills, that's for sure.

Even still, if you want some extra protection try using Diatomaceous Earth. It basically is a hard powdered substance, very sharp to little bugs, it cuts their exoskeleton and dries them out, they die leaving behind their scent. An inSCENTive to other bugs to BEWARE! LOL

Thank you for taking this all in. I hope this helps. Remember,
You Are What You Eat... BE COMPLETE!

and please

Be the Change you Wish to See in the World.
