Milk My Goat With Me! Just TWO Generations Is All It Took

It only took TWO generations for us to become completely disconnected from our food.

Instead of growing our own food or connecting locally with farmers, we are okay with the food industry putting funky ingredients in our foods that are lab-made. Truly, Frankenstein food. It all started with reading the ingredients on the back of my store-bought bread. When you realize bread should only have a few ingredients but the label at the store lists twenty or more, you start to wonder why. Our body reacts to how we treat it, so is it any coincidence that mental and physical illnesses are on the rise along with atrocious eating habits? How did we get here?

I was extremely disconnected from my food by being vegetarian for a majority of my life. I got hit with the animal rights videos young and didn’t realize that by not consuming meat, I was making myself sick. Consuming factory and big-farm meat would have also made me sick. The problem was I had no connection to my food. Now I do, and my meat is raised locally on farms where I see the animals grazing happily. They are not fed garbage and I interact with their caretakers. I invest in my health by investing locally.

This discussion makes people upset because they feel they are being judged. Instead, take accountability and turn to your community. Find local resources and put your foot down to big-food and say no more! No more will I willingly consume harmful man-made chemicals. No more will I let my family eat gunk! No more!

What is wild to me is the same people who love to yell at me that raw milk is dangerous are the same people who give their kids fruit loops for breakfast.

Research your ingredients and maybe you will end up on a homestead journey milking goats for raw milk too!
