“The Bible says children are a blessing; our culture says children are a blight. The Bible says you are blessed if you have lots of children; our culture says you are cursed if you have lots of children. Even worse, our culture believes people are foolish and/or sinful if they have lots of children. The question is, how much influence will we allow the culture to have on the way we view this issue? . . . Do you really believe that children are a heritage or blessing from the Lord?”

Few consumers realize that many producers of “organic” or “naturally raised” animal products, raise their animals in confinement and feed them grain—just like the operators of conventional feedlots. Feeding large amounts of grain to a grazing animal decreases the nutritional value of its products whether the grain is organic or conventionally raised. The reason is simple. Compared with grass, grain has far fewer omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E.(1) Therefore, grainfed animals have fewer of these important nutrients in their meat and dairy products. Grainfeeding also interferes with the creation of a cancer-fighting fight called conjugated linoleic acid or CLA.(2) I A test by an independent lab determined that milk from one of the largest organic grain-fed dairies had no more omega-3 fatty acids or CLA than milk from ordinary dairies. Similarly, meat from organic grain-fed beef has the same nutritional profile as meat from the largest Kansas feedlot.

Every year there is an increase in consumers demanding GMO free meats. Meaning the animals are never fed GMO grains. We are bombarded with “experts” telling us that what animals eat has no effect on our health when we eat that meat, but I along with many other people don’t believe that lie anymore. There are too many stories of healing out there. Our health has improved significantly over the years as we have slowly changed our diet. I’m close to healing my last health issue that I have had since I was little. I thought I would have to suffer with it for the rest of my life. I can only say praise the Lord for opening our eyes! If you dig enough you will find so much truth that it will shock you. Here is one example of the fraud from the Weston Price Foundation.

Memos made public from a lawsuit reveal that the consensus among FDA scientists in the early 1990s was that GMOs were inherently unsafe and could lead to toxins, allergens, new diseases and nutritional problems. They urged their superiors to require long-term safety studies before any GM foods were allowed on the market. But the political appointee in charge of FDA policy was the former attorney of the biotech giant Monsanto and later the company’s vice president. The scientists’ warnings were ignored and today the FDA does not require a single safety study on GM foods.

I remember a mini-Paradigm Shift I experienced one Sunday morning on a subway in New York. People were sitting quietly — some reading newspapers, some lost in thought, some resting with their eyes closed. It was a calm, peaceful scene. Then suddenly, a man and his children entered the subway car. The children were so loud and rambunctious that instantly the whole climate changed.

It was difficult not to feel irritated. I could not believe that he could be so insensitive to let his children run wild like that and do nothing about it, taking no responsibility at all. It was easy to see that everyone else on the subway felt irritated, too. So finally, with what I felt was unusual patience and restraint, I turned to him and said, “Sir, your children are really disturbing a lot of people. I wonder if you couldn’t control them a little more?

Cory shared this story with me the other day, and I asked if he would be willing to share it as a blog post. I think this is a great example of how we can look to the past for solutions instead of always looking for a “treatment.” This is also a good example of how government incentives can have dire consequences and how their “solutions” to the problems they create can have even more ramifications. Below is the story he wrote.

“How many on their deathbeds wished they’d spent more time at the office—or watching TV? The answer is, No one. They think about their loved ones, their families, and those they have served.”

The American Heart Association was formed in 1924 and didn’t become well known until 1948 when the maker of Crisco (Proctor and Gamble) gave them over a million dollars related to a Proctor and Gamble sponsored radio contest. Interestingly, they started promoting Crisco as being heart healthy after this time. In other words, the American Heart Association started calling cholesterol bad when the companies selling vegetable oils started to make donations. The organization grew quickly with this support and they even used President Eisenhower’s heart attack in 1955 to put fear in the American people. They suggested that the reason for his heart attack was all the butter he had eaten. They neglected to mention that he was a chain smoker. The process of hydrogenation was introduced in 1911 and heart disease (although rare before this) has been on the increase since that time.
