Here is an educational event that I wish I could attend; but, we have too many health and family issues for me to get away right now. I’ve attended events from this company before (Entrepreneurial Days 2006 and the 2008 Writing for the Web Class); personally, I and my family have profited greatly from both!

Who Knows What Else We Are Consuming
Just some ranting after reading the news…
Associated Press writers Jeff Donn, Martha Mendoza and Justin Pritchard have uncovered the obvious in their article AP Probe Finds Drugs in Drinking Water.
Interesting, that as of late, doctors are crying antibiotic resistance; a direct result of over prescribing. Yet I know that I haven’t had them over prescribed, you? I can see why a slim few might have build up a resistance; but, that should not affect my prescribed healthcare or should it?
Flip the newspaper page, for one second, and what do you see about our sources of food? Genetically altered vegetables, beef fed antibiotics, chickens fed animal waste products … Let’s see I eat beef and ingest milk products; it seems cows have had an influx of unnecessary antibiotics … I eat chicken and it appears they’ve been fed animal byproducts (probably beef byproducts, just a guess). Not to mention animal waste products are often used as fertilizers; isn’t it obvious that through seepage these unnecessary medicinal chemicals would enter our water supply?
Add the above to the articles additional source of medications such as those used for chemo therapy, seizures, ADHD, sexual disorders and diseases, and what do you get? A chemical nightmare! Not to mention what’s thrown in via acid rain and just plain old pollution.
So where am I going with all of this? Yes, I’m still buying the food and drinking the water and paying the ridiculous currently inflated prices to do it! Why, because what else can I do? I live in suburbia where neighborhood covenants forbid farm animals; plus I’m not that interested in becoming a strict vegan; nor can I afford to go completely ‘organic’. However, I am certainly going to look into a Reverse Osmosis water system, as expensive as they are, for our kitchen sink; I might buy more Laura’s Beef even at the raised price; and maybe I’ll hit a farmers market for some eggs (not likely as I'm not aware of any).
Really folks, it is a bit too late for us … but for our children, maybe there is a bit of a chance yet. Just think there may even be a cure for ADHD and Allergies and it could be as simple as clean water and God intended natural food!
Here are three different links to the same article that spawned this tirade.
