Will You Make The Change? or Just Complain ...

Now that you've begun to inform yourselves through this forum / blog and other outlets, the knowledge is slowly filtering out. but what good is that if you aren't prepared to step outside your comfort zone and USE IT!

First example.
I came across this today and it sparked something off while shopping. we all hear and complain about "theres all these chemicals in our foods now" , "yeh have you seen the size of those chickens" , "all those hormones and additives" .....
I too have been hearing about and complaining at these things for long enough, and up till now have been too lazy and uninformed to make a change. thing is there are alternatives out there. as ive mentioned before these alternatives are priced higher on the shelf, but whats the price for good health ? and leaving a positive environmental footprint? we need to step away from "oh but its too expensive" and see the bigger picture. the price difference is obvious when you consider the costs of running independent organic or free range farms. more on this to follow.

For now, lets deal with the chicken debate. we have all seen those Coles and other chain prepacked chickens that look like 20 year old sized turkey breasts. know how they get that large? yup you guessed it. those chickens are bread on feed that is laced with growth hormones, enabling the farmer to breed larger chickens in smaller areas, in quicker time for slaughter. ie more product on the shelves quicker to make more profit for a cheaper production cost (feeding the chickens less natural food and for a shorter time than natural methods)

Im posting this to show there are alternatives. Grain fed, free range natural farms, producing healthy chickens free of additives and hormones. you need to investigate this on your own per state, but for us all in Western Australia .... Mt Barker Free Range Chicken, is a fine example. make the switch, eat healthy, support the environment that enables you to eat and drink, support those farmers and industries that are trying so desperately to fight off the giant food supermarket chains. think past those extra few dollars per serving, think long term health. once you make the change, encourage others. if you support a local butcher, inform them, and ask them to become a supplier.

Change doesn't happen in leaps, it begins with steps.
