I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

By at least buying organic you can support the farmer who has to jump through many hoops for cert. It does matter, you can be assured of that. Tough to grow and maintain purity? Yes, but the options are dismal.
I cant say it is, or isnt. Trusting anything BG or FDA approved is just not in my wheelhouse anymore
I buy local from farmers whenever possible, as it is the only choice that i have any faith in being truly organic, whatever organic really means under the current cataclysm we are living under
I eat a lot of blue berries, mainly from South America, Fuji apples and bananas. I always peel the apples. I should wash the BBs with treated water. I know there is a product available specifically for making water for rinsing foods and cleaning surfaces. Just can't remember the name of it. It also purifies water for drinking.
I've seen that advertised but never bought any. The one I researched last year was a counter top machine that 'cured' for a better word, the water you put in it. I think they also supplied an additive. I'm at a loss. It was around $150.
There are veg. and fruit washes that spray on, or you can soak them. I take the easier way out with the spray. Reverse osmosis is our water treatment, it is also recommended by the "Midwestern Doctor" I think the water tastes noticeably better. Under the counter or on top.
