WHY?
After many illnesses and being tired of being sick and tired, we decided that we needed to change our diet. But that wasn’t all. After listening to many farmers online and hearing what they had to say about the food supply, we knew we needed to take control of our own food.
Everyone is sick! We have the best healthcare professionals in the world, yet we are the sickest country in the world. How is that possible? People come from around the world to be seen by American physicians, yet no one ever gets cured of anything. We have the most medication and the most medicated people. Something is amiss.
Not everyone in the United States lives in the same geographical area, yet almost everyone in America is sick. It’s not because we eat meat—because even vegans get cancer. So, it’s not the meat. So, what is it?
Why is everyone overweight? Why is everyone on medications? Why is everyone depressed? Why are children confused about who they are all of a sudden? The elderly are sick. The young are sick. Babies are born sick. What is the common denominator?
We all eat food. It must be the food!
WHAT?
It's the food! It must be. So, if our food is killing us, why are we still eating it? If the food is making us obese, why are we continuing to consume it? If the food is messing up children’s hormones and causing confusion (and I believe it is), then why on God’s earth are we still feeding it to them?
I don’t believe that God makes anyone or anything that is contrary to nature or harmful to them in any way. I don’t believe that God created children with cancer. I believe that cancer is incubated in the womb—that it’s the food the mother ate that caused the cancer in the baby. I’m not a doctor or a scientist, but I do have common sense.
These things didn’t just come from nowhere. There is something we’re doing now that we didn’t do in the past that is causing these issues. And the only thing that has changed is what we’re doing to our food supply. Sure, one could argue that pollution plays a part in all of this, but in other countries where there is just as much industry (even more, in some cases), they aren’t as sick as we are, nor are their children so confused. So, what’s the difference? They aren’t poisoning their population through their food supply like we are. We put things in our food that other countries have banned.
SO WHAT?
We believe that we are not here by chance. Everything that exists was designed and created to exist in perfect order. Think about it. We have a sun that heats our planet and gives us life, and if it were just slightly closer, we'd burn up; if it were any further away, we would freeze. That’s perfect order. We have a moon that reflects the sun’s light to give us light at night. That’s thoughtful planning. Each plant carries its own seed within itself according to its kind. That’s creation.
Yes, we’re the "weirdos." We believe that everything we see was created by an intelligent Creator. Not only is He intelligent, but loving and gracious. He cares for us and takes care of us. When He created us, everything was perfect. He placed us in a beautiful, abundant garden. It was very good. We had all we needed to live and thrive. But He also gave us free will—the choice to love Him or not, to believe in Him or not. Unfortunately, we chose to not believe in Him. We chose to believe that He was a liar and was keeping something from us that we needed. And so, we sinned. I say "we" because there’s no one who would not have done the same thing. As a result, He kicked us out of that perfect garden and told us that the land would have thorns and thistles, and we would have to work the ground with much trouble.
Being the know-it-all humans that we are, who have come to hate God and disbelieve in Him, we’ve tried to prove Him wrong by making our work easier—poisoning the ground to get rid of the thorns and thistles. In doing so, we’ve poisoned our food and ourselves.
We try to escape our punishment by making labor easier with drugs, thinking they have no effect on the unborn child before it even takes its first breath. We are poisoning children in the womb with the food we eat and the drugs we take, and then wonder why something is wrong when they come out—as if it’s God’s fault.
NOW WHAT?
Our bodies are the only thing we came into this world with, and they are the only thing we take with us when we leave. For those who believe, they are the only thing we’ll get back in the resurrection. God says that He doesn’t dwell in temples made by hands but in these bodies of ours, which are His temple. So, how should we treat them?
The temple of God should be a sacred place—a place that is untainted and clean. Our bodies are the only thing in this world we can control. We cannot take away the rights of others by asking them to give up their way of life and return to horse and buggy just to make ourselves feel good about taking care of the planet. God said we are here to subdue the earth. He put this planet here for us, not the other way around.
We cannot control what kind of vehicle someone chooses to drive, nor should we try. But we can control our own bodies. We don’t have to fill them with toxic foods and then hope for the best. We can control not only what we put in our bodies but also what goes into our food—but only if we control our own food.
This is why we do what we do. We are here to ensure that what we put into our bodies helps and does not harm us. We are here to share the belief that there is a God who wants the best for us. So, we are here to offer the best quality food for anyone who would like to be a part of our CSA.
Because we believe that you were fearfully and wonderfully made. Sickness and disease are not a result of the fall, but a result of ongoing sin—the sin of not being good stewards of what God has given us: our bodies! So, if you’d like to not only have a clean heart by repenting of sin and believing in Jesus as the sacrificial atonement for your sin, but also have a clean temple for God to dwell in, then join us. Become a member of our CSA or support your local organic farmers.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different result. If your parents had a poor diet, heart disease, cancer, and died young, and you adopted that same diet, what makes you think you’ll have a different result?
Sadly, we call this genetics or heredity. But no—if you eat the same poisonous diet they ate, you will get the same outcome. Obesity is not genetic! Eating the same foods that made your parents obese will make you obese. This is not how God made your family, nor is it some generational curse. This is common sense. If you want a healthy body, you have to put healthy things into it. So, where do you go from here? Do you want cancer, obesity, heart disease, or confused children? If not, then it’s time to try something different!
If man made it, stay far away from it! But if it’s part of God’s natural design—raised, grown, and fed the way He intended—then there is hope for your health. 🙂
