Long before it was “trendy” ….
Leaving Canada for over six years to “to see how everyone else in the world lived” was my irreplaceable education in global issues of every kind. And some would call me a bit of a renegade but quite honestly I asked for it and enjoy it as it gives me a little meaning to my life. It is against my ”religion” to keep my mouth shut (which is all of them meaning the common parts of them only ) while others are suffering, being poisoned or worse…
For me, it has never been about just one issue like chemicals that hurt you in soap but a great many of them. Ever since my return almost eleven years ago, I have been a loud voice on the dangers of all sorts of things that we have adopted as “normal” and have talked to literally thousands of people and changed hundreds of minds about GMO’s and killer seeds, trans fat (before it was required labeling and I researched it was in baby food!), fluoride in toothpaste and water, the microwave oven, food packaging, plastics, cosmetics, pet food ingredients, global warming, war, foreign policies that indirectly kill people, unsound voting systems etc. Of course all these problems would just disappear if we were all thinking properly and were actually conscious. So, I try to concentrate on solving the problem not feeding it even if it makes people feel uncomfortable to know “dirty little secrets” that can make us and our families sick!
