Buying mostly organic as of late, enjoying the wonderful taste of fresh, wholesome and lovely food has me thinking about the state of our union as a people living together on this planet.
What if more people switched to buying organic (and possibly locally grown) foods? They are much more expensive. If we spend more money on better quality for our bodies, we perform better, the economy will balance, farmers will be paid more, the people who work for markets big or small will be paid more and minimum wage might increase.
We live in a world where everything is cheap. We eat more than we need because it's cheap, sourly created substances, we use far more than we need, we buy whole sections of stores because it's a "good sale" and we create newer, more "efficient" methods of making objects so we can get more ourselves.
Imagine a world where more people cared about themselves over what they have. I read a quote often. It states:
"All that we truly own is our actions."
Yet, we are so convinced that having a good time by spending a lot on pure and utter shit is the way to go.
I sit in front of the $6 I've already spent on Mellow Mood, a tea drink with a little bit of sugar, which relaxes the mind and body... why and is there anything I can do to cut back on all of the supplies I create when I buy these products aimed toward corporal advancement in our economy? $6 is a lot to spend on tea. I bet I can make a whole gallon of tea for $1. So the change starts.
