IDKT (I Didnt Know That)

I didn’t know that (IDKT) ….

1. Obesity adds $147 billion a year to our doctor bills.
2. Less than 1% of American cropland is farmed organically.
3. A pig goes from birth to slaughter in approximately five months.
4. 19% of U.S. fossil fuels goes toward food production.
5. Americans spend less than 10% of their incomes on food. In 1966 it was 18%.
6. When we eat a cheeseburger, a Chicken McNugget or drink soda, we’re also eating corn.
7. In the past 10 years, the Federal Government dumped over $50 billion into the corn industry, keeping prices artificially low.
8. Nearly 23 million tons of fertilizer is used for crop production a year.
9. Fertilizer run off contributes to the “dead zone”, an approximately 6,000 square mile area in the Gulf of Mexico that has almost no oxygen and almost no sea life.  The Gulf of Mexico fishing industry loses approx 212,000 metric tons of seafood a year as a result. There are nearly 400 similar “dead zones” around the world.
10. It is estimated that 70% of antimicrobial drugs used in the USA are given to animals.
11. 1% of Americas cattle are raised organically.
12. Chipolte Restaurants buy organic and local whenever possible and serve some of the most nutritious fast food on the market today.
13. Organic methods of farming can produce just about as much yield per acre as conventional farming but it requires more human labor. With unemploymentsoaring, going organic could help the economy and our land/environment at the same time. A win win situation if you ask me.

Now you know (NYK)! Pass it along and be A VOICE FOR CHANGE.

I didn’t know that (IDKT) …. corporate America had infiltrated the natural and/or organic food industry. It seems they are slowly slipping in through the cracks and we need to stop this from happening. The informed consumer votes at least three times a day. They vote for products every time they put them into their mouth or purchase them at their local market. Buyer beware. Here is a perfect example of what I am referring to.

I didn’t know that Kashi cereal was owned by Kellogg’s! I also didn’t know that Kashi cereal is highly contaminated with GMO’s. I thought Kashi was a pure, “natural” cereal. I guess that brings us to the definition of “natural”. Arsenic is natural. So is lead, mercury, tin, etc. See where I am going with this? Natural isn’t necessarily good for the human body. If Kashi is being manufactured with GMO’s, need I say more.

IDKT (I didn’t know that) coconut oil had so many uses… beyond the obvious … and how beneficial it really is overall.  I have come to rely on coconut oil more and more and now, it is the mainstay ingredient that you will find in many rooms of my home.  Surprisingly for someone that hates coconut, I love the oil and even the cream.  It is not the same as eating coconut meat. Give it a try, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Here are just a few of the things I do with this natural beauty wonder.

1. Before getting out of the shower, rub a little all over your body. Shower off excess the and lightly towel dry.
2. Before shutting off the light to go to sleep, rub a little on your face and on the bottoms of your feet or other areas of your body that are prone to being dry.
3. Take it to the beach and slather it all over your body and on your hair.  — No, I don’t use sunscreen ever. It is toxic to the body and does nothing to prevent skin cancer.
4. Buy some coconut cream and make frozen candy treats that you can keep in your freezer.  I put an almond in the center and have a couple of these great treats with a cup of tea in the evening.  You’ll find the recipe on my website.
5. Dry lips, dab on some coconut oil.
6. Oil and vinegar dressing is made with coconut oil in our home. It is a nice change of pace.
7. Popcorn is delicious when I use coconut oil to pop the corn.
8. Saute veggies using coconut oil.

Make sure you buy good quality oil.  I only buy organic.  I’m saving so much money not having to purchase moisturizers, sunscreens and the like.  I want to make sure I am getting the best for my body in terms of quality.  I don’t want anything going into my body that isn’t processed correctly, has been sprayed with toxic chemicals, or is genetically modified.

Dear Donna,

     I want to thank you for your weight loss program.  When I started your program, I weighed 147lbs. (I couldn’t seem to lose weight even though my diet was so strict and I exercised so much.)  Lately I have been enjoying my new weight of 132 lbs!!!  I cannot thank you enough for helping me get to this point!

Gratefully, CT, Texas

Congratulations on your progress, Gratefully!!!
How exciting! I’m so proud I could burst!!

Namaste (I bow to you),
Donna

“Donna, I wanted to tell you thank you for such a fantastic program!  It truly is one of my all time best, favorite purchases ever!  Right up there with cars and houses.  You make everything so simple and easy to follow.  As an educator, I could tell that you have done years of research on your program and it shows.  To date, I have lost 45 pounds over the past 4 months.  My head is clear and I have my energy back!   Most Gratefully, LVT, California”
