Here is a bit different and being American born trying to figure out the "different" name but same product can be a bit difficult. So not sure what it would be here.
And I completely agree with you about the contamination of food sources. Here in the UK they are doing similar as the U.S. but not as much in someways. Personally I think that is part of the bee issue and why we are having issues with bee's. In the UK rapeseed is a huge crop and bee keepers are really complaining because when the do the comb it can harden so much that it destroys the whole colony. And this only happens when there is a rapeseed field within their area.
It is scary ... really would like to move so that I can grow my own and grow old heritage types of plants and rotate etc. So I can make sure that what I am eating is organic as you can. Someday 
If anyone here (UK) knows the name of the water for distilled so that I can try to feed my new puppy that so that the tear staining will be gazumped before it really starts Thanks soooo much!  |
We have had honey bee issues here as well. I haven't read about it in a while but the last I knew it was a mystery as to why they were just disappearing. Which brings up the subject of all the huge numbers of bird and fish kills as well. Thousands at a time just drop dead. No good explanation of course. Some government "experts" were saying it was really very common but it's just being reported more now. I don't believe that at all.
As far as getting minerals. I would much rather get my minerals from natural vegetables and fruits rather than contaminated water sources. There are very few water sources that are not contaminated anymore. Just one of the reasons that cities put chlorine in their water. There are more dangerous elements in water than helpful, like the chemicals from fertilizers leeching into the water supplies as well as what some industries have disposed of illegally and has gotten into the water supplies. They are finding arsenic in so many things we eat and drink these days, including various water sources. I was just watching another "expert" on some news show today talking about the arsenic levels that they have found in apple juice. She said it was noting to worry about. Not enough to be harmful. Sure! Just keep giving your kids their arsenic laced apple juice everyday and think nothing of it. Why are we finding arsenic in so many places? Apple juice and water they are telling us are natural sources of arsenic! Something is not right here. Maybe the birds and fish that have been dying just finally got enough arsenic! Just a joke, but it sure is suspicious.
We still have some small farms around here that do farm the old fashioned way. The thing is you have to buy enough supplies to last until next year. I taught myself to can foods years ago when I had a backyard garden but I try to freeze as much as I can because freezing maintains the nutrients better. All this mass production of food has turned into a nightmare for people that realize what is going on. Is it any wonder that so many Americans are so sick?
