You probably can't count how many times you’ve heard:
“You are what you eat!”
So, it should not come as any surprise to hear that you really ARE what you
eat!
So; what do you eat?
You eat:
Anabolic steroids in virtually every piece of conventionally grown USA beef, pork & poultry.
You eat estrogen mimicking herbicides in virtually every piece of conventional grain, vegetable and fruit you consume.
And you eat "endocrine disrupting" herbicides like atrazine in virtually every corn, soybean and most vegetables too! "Endocrine Disrupting." You probably will not go to the EPA toxic compound list and look up the warnings associated with atrazine/simizine. Even though they have that information on hand, your federal & state governments both, they continue to pour millions of pounds of it, every year, into your environment with absolutely no regard for the health of you or your family. Even your new president: "New Deal." No, same deal as all the rest.
And recently the OMRI (organic list of allowed chemicals) ok'd antibiotics to be used in organic fruit & vegetable production. The EXACT reason "organic" was started in the 1980s was to eliminate antibiotic intake from our foods and, Surprise!, its right back there even in the organic foods.
That is also because they know, rightly, that you will not read a single info sheet on these things, preferring to just trust that someone is watching out for you because that's a lot simpler and easier for you. Are we right?
Yes, we are right.
Yet you think its random your children have autism, ADD/ADHD, asthma, allergies, bent-genders?
And you think its random you have more breast, uterine, prostate and ovarian cancer?
Yep: you are what you eat.
Conventional versus Organic fruits and vegetables.
Yes: conventional agriculture uses more chemicals.
Yes: organic agriculture uses chemicals that can be just as deadly. Maybe not as many but certainly what kills a bug can cause damage to you.
But the real issue is nutrition. Your food needs to be nutritious. It needs to be filled with those vitamins and other compounds your body, your children's bodies, need to fight the impact of everyday living.
Most of the larger, and many of the smaller, organic growers rely totally on "chicken pellet" fertilizer. Pellets made from chicken "stuff": chicken manure, dead chickens, beaks, feathers, well, whatever made the compost pile. Conventional chickens, with antibiotics, pesticides, fungicides and any chemical legal to grow a chicken, can be used as compost material for chicken pellets used in an organic grower's operation. Analysis has shown that many of these chemicals are persistent and can be found in the pellet being used in the organic operations.
Another issue with "chicken pellets" are that it is in no way a complete and balanced fertilizer that supplies the plant with the correct ratio of minerals and elements. This means that if the plant suffers from an incorrect balance of nutrients then the fruits of that plant suffer as well. And, you, the end consumer, suffer as well.
Without those nutritious compounds the foods you eat are empty. And being empty your body responds by always being hungry. Because it is hungry: hungry for those nutritional compounds it needs to do the job of keeping you healthy. So, even weight gain problems can be related to those foods you consume.
That's where we come in.
At BPG we do NOT ever use any compound that is dangerous to you or your childern's health.
Never Ever.
Our work cooperatively with Brabant Research, Inc. has helped us understand what the nutritional values are in those foods you eat, those foods you purchase from your commercial grocery outlets. Additionally, Brabant Research has done extensive toxicology to understand what other growers use to produce/protect and maintain their crops. Brabant produces their own fertilizers with 0 toxicity, no toxic chemicals or elements and only in plant-food percentage of weight so living cells, all living cells, are safeguarded.
With this knowledge we have worked through the last 18 years to learn what fertilizer combinations work with different selected varieties to produce higher nutritional quality products. Products that are real food for your body.
So, that's our promise: supply you with the best, highest nutritional fruits and vegetables you can find anywhere you shop.
And our produce is also delicious.
Because when it's good for you, nutritionally speaking, your tongue tells you: "Eat this!"
Good, and good for you. We can't do better than that!
