Chapter 3 - A Horrible Price to Pay
P. 72. "Though resilience is what we gained, as a function of the water getting better, the land getting better, the town getting better, and the animals getting better. I made the changes that I made simply to get away from practices I found displeasing and wrong. I didn't wear a sack cloth and put ashes on my head. It wasn't a philanthropic endeavor. But I realized that I had fought nature all my life and I wasn't ever going to win. That's why, midway into my life, I walked away from the altar of technology. I turned my back on reductionist science. I ceased to listen to the specialists sponsored by the corporations, the consultants with the corporate name tags, and even to other farmers and ranchers who followed all the corporate rules. And I started to listen to nature, which knows everything and never lies. And the farm started working properly again. Because here is what I know now, unshakably and unequivocally: If you will just sit still and shut up and pay attention, nature will tell you everything you need to know. She will provide you with everything you need to make your farm work. Nature knows everything, forgets nothing, and bats last."
It is the same with our health. When a person is still and becomes an observer, no longer living by what is popular and instead learning to be quiet and becoming aware of their body, they will see exactly what their body needs each day.
Have you eaten an MRE ("Meal, Ready-to Eat" )? Or even seen one?
Our veterans may be the only ones who have had the experience. Though after the recent hurricanes here on Clearwater Beach the National Guard visited our neighborhood and handed out MREs. Watch this short video if you have never seen an MRE and are curious about the ingredients. And if you have eaten MREs as a veteran on a war front, enjoy a burger or a hot dog on the grill instead!
Be aware of what you put on your skin. Especially if it is a chemical that increases skin absorption of harmful chemicals. Found in cosmetics and on disposable razors. And learn a better way. Old school, traditional approaches are often safer, less expensive, and less toxic to the environment.

With all the division and controversy over who should be our next president in this election year, I thought it worthy to examine the difference between the U.S. president who is to this day the only president officially honored on this holiday and the president whose holiday was combined with the original holiday to make what most people now call, "President's Day."
George Washington was a valiant, humble soldier who led our forefathers into independence from an intrusive, money-hungry government that sought to control and tax them beyond reason. Most people believe Abraham Lincoln to be the next greatest president. Yet the truth speaks otherwise. Listen and learn the truth about our 16th president. From me and from Joel Salatin, 2 old and, perhaps, wise men.
Abraham Lincoln changed the landscape of our country. He was the leader of change from a country founded on freedom to a country controlled by a more and more intrusive, controlling, money-hungry government, much like the British ...
Our country's greatest president? He not only ended the central bank but paid off the national debt, the only president to do either. Watch the documentary, https://www.amazon.com/Andrew-Jackson-Edward-Herrmann/dp/B0CKNNQXRX
February 22, 1732
George Washington was born in Virginia on February 11, 1731, according to the then-used Julian calendar. In 1752, however, Britain and all its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar which moved Washington's birthday a year and 11 days to February 22, 1732.
