Slowly Saving Our Lives

from Goodlad Unscripted · host Terry Goodlad

Sixty years ago when I was a little boy, my grandparents grew most of their food in the garden on their farm. Manure was the fertilizer, and they couldn't afford pesticides and herbicides but they had old-fashioned ways of keeping the bugs away, and there was enough kids and hoes to take care of the weeds. That food wasn't called organic then, it was just called food. The meat they got from slaughtering an animal that was raised eating grass in a pasture but it wasn't called grass-fed or free range, it was just called beef or chicken or eggs.Between then and now the world changed. Our food, along with our habits, has become the number one killer in America. And people are starting to realize that and are drifting back to doing things the way they did when I was a kid, and centuries before that.My wife Ana is one of those people, and since drastically changing the trajectory of my own life a few years back by changing what and how I ate, I am a true believer as well. Ana and I talk about what that looks like for us and our family in this episode of the Unscripted Podcast.Please join me in my Unscripted Facebook Group if you have any questions, thought, or experiences of your own you wish to share.
