Two month's of eating local

It's been two months of eating local. I have more energy and over all I feel better. I have cheated a couple times again for convenience. I also have a few stragglers Joe isn't doing so well living away from home during the week. I try for the most part to prepare his meals before he goes to Wyoming for the week but, he still feels the need to buy from the grocery store. Madison still has a few things she needs to work on but, I would say 80% of the time she is following the new way of eating. When Kerissa eats with us she eats local food but, she has started a new diet. Elloise is enjoying home made baby food.

I'm finally done canning which is extremely nice my kitchen is somewhat back to normal. I'm still freezing pumpkin and a variety of squash. I started a little kitchen herb garden for the winter. It takes up space but, otherwise is great. We received our last CSA from the farm until I believe March but, they have told us that they will be sending out a news letter on bundles of meat to get us through winter. We start a delivery service this week with Winder Farms. We will be getting a 1/2 gallon of whole milk every two weeks, a quart of half and half, cheese from Behive cheese, Organic fresh eggs and coffee. We have started to make our own laundry soap and it has turned out great. I'm still researching other household cleaners and also beauty products. Our grocery bill is 1/4 of what we were spending a few months ago.

We continue to learn more about what we are eating and what we have eaten over the years, it's pretty scary. Most countries have banned GMO's but our country still thinks it's acceptable. California's are voting on whether GMO"S should be labeled as a GMO's, which everyone should have the right to know what they are eating, Whether it be cow's that have been injected with pig organisms to make their skin tougher or corn  modified organisms with poison that will blow up an insects stomach once it bites into the corn but it's supposed to be okay for humans to eat. Then we have corn syrup instead of sugar again most of the world refuses to use this substitute but we have or we just don't know exactly what we are eating?

Happy Autumn
