I feel that all the innocence of this world is gone. The still innocent are just like sheep to the slaughter unless we protect them, and yet there's little we can actually do because we are not the ones with power. Or at least we have convinced ourselves that that's true, so we let this continue. I'm grateful that there are organic options available, although I hardly even trust those anymore. And of course, the poor and even the dwindling middle class can barely afford organic foods. We have to work for these corporations so we don't have the time to research our foods and shop locally as you pointed out, Janelle. I have thought so much lately about taking a lesser paying job and living in a smaller house so we have the time and energy to perhaps grow some of our own food, make more of it at home, and shop locally or at least organic. We are all so busy pushing ourselves to keep getting more and more that we have become slaves to these corporations! They own us! Let's not fool ourselves!It really is sad to see all this play out. Now Florida is in a state of emergency because no one has done anything about the excessive fertilizers being dumped in the ocean. Corporate interests matter more than even the tourism!
