Dirty Dozen! Clean Fifteen!

 Morning All!

I had to share this youtube post with you.  An 11 year old boy's interpretation of what's wrong with our food system - the appealing marketing, the factory farming that leads to the food that is being raised on genetically modified seeds - and how this is just dangerous and not as nature intended it to be!

Please watch it - show it to your kids!  I think he's an inspiration to all of us!
