Full Circle Child Blog

   Last week the kids and I returned home from two weeks and 4,000 miles traveling out west to Washington state and back.  We had a nice visit with family and a total of seven days on the road.  Hearing (or reading) about seven days on the road with three kids might make some question my sanity in making the trip or since then.  However, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.  The trip was, of course, cheaper than flying and renting a car, etc.  But the mountains, rivers, sunsets, and geological wonders we were able to enjoy together were absolutely priceless.  It has always been a dream of ours to buy an RV and travel around the country, but doing so when the kids are grown seems backwards to me.  Our American dream is to live life to its fullest and enjoy this beautiful and wondrous world together, not live to work.     

I wonder if citizens today, for the most part, believe that deception by government or corporations is only something read about in our history books?  No matter how much evidence to the contrary, mainstream Americans seem to think that their best interests in matters of health and well-being are being looked out for by government and that it is just crazy or paranoid to think otherwise.  Nor do they believe that it is possible for corporations to conspire to deceive them.  Well, just check out this link!  It is unbelievable, even for those of us who do not trust the government and huge corporations!   http://www.enviroblog.org/2009/06/-its-1960-embattled-tobacco.html?utm_source=BPA-Call&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=second-link&utm_campaign=Toxics   

   After decades of technological advancement and corporate domination over the natural world, our children are paying the price for the convenience of modern society.  The symptoms are millions of children suffering from asthma, ADD, and previously unheard of allergies to foods humans survived on for thousands of years.  Mainstream medicine and pharmaceutical compaines would have us believe that our children should be medicated, just as millions of parents are today.  However, a growing number of scientists, doctors, nutritionists, educators, parents, and even journalists are joining together to stand up for the rights of the next generation to have a clean environment, healthy nutrition, natural and preventative healthcare.  Given these basic human rights, our children will have the opportunity to create a better future through innovation, creativity, and perseverance.
