People need to start growing their own food again., at least as much as can be, gardens should be the norm like they once were.

When I read this article this morning I thought about one of my girlfriends that "became a women" when we were in elementary school. She was 8. Man, we were so jealous of her. Boy were we stupid! Had no idea what we were wishing for!:o

I think children are maturing so much faster because of the "stuff" in food too.

We should pool together and buy up some Apostolic land and grow our own God Given food. Who's with me!! (I dont want to work though cuz I dont like to get dirty...I just want to eat it....:goof:)

I have a friend in her 20's already going through menopause!!!!

Makes a strong case for eating organic and/or homegrown foods!

Meat and dairy are issues, too, though--you should try to buy organic meat and dairy. (No hormones)

I've never really looked into the organic foods...are they more expensive? If they are, is it considerable or is it managable?

I "accidentally" bought some organic "yams" Thanksgiving 06 and they were NOT the same. My dad jokes about that still. It was the 1st Thanksgiving dinner I cooked so I was shown a little "Mercy".

I am eating more veggies now, so I think I will check out the "organic" stuff next trip to the market to see how they compare in price.

We did that in the 90's. Moved our kids out of the big city and bought 10 acres of land and raised our own veggies and had a cow for milk and goats for meat and my husband had a hunting rifle for the deer that was right outside our window. He used to be up in the trees for hours.
We raised our own chickens and homed school.

Yep - been there and did that. It was very nice for the kiddies too. :)

Price wise, organic produce, dairy and meats are normally more expensive. I can afford to buy some organic foods, but if I buy everything on my list, it doubles my grocery budget. So we do what we can. If I had to pick and choose, I would say buy organic meat and dairy, and just buy locally grown produce.

I have found that locally grown produce and/or organically grown produce is much better quality, so I'm not sure why your "yams" were so different.... :)

Sounds like all this occurred in the PAST, how 'bout now?
Did ya'll miss "city" life?

I'm not so sure hormones and chemicals are to blame, at least not completely. It seems to me the problem has been childhood obesity. If the body STOPS ovulating and menstruating when the body loses too much weight, wouldn't it also make sense for the opposite to be true, meaning that excess weight could cause premature puberty?

Ah well, at 46 if I haven't hit puberty yet I guess it ain't gonna happen. Growth homones or not. Wait, I am only 45, 4 more months before 46...:D

What is the rush? Personally the twenties weren't too bad. Personally I would like to do over 25 to 30. Then I might not have made the mistakes I did in the late 30's.

But, Hindsight is 20/20 at the worst. Foresight is not so good.

Yep :)
But I think it was an experience I would not trade for the world.

The only way I would even consider going back to my 20's was if I could take back what I know now. If I could go back and know what I know now there would be a few things that I would do differently. But that is not an option. LOL

Personally, I think the answer is in Alpo! Take old Duke here... He's 56 years old, which is 392 to you and me!

Lots of information there about the hormones (and other things) in dairy products. If even 10% of the information there is correct, we're abusing our children by giving them dairy.
