Chemical Free Living - how not to be poisoned

Watching 60 Minutes this week left me frightened and sad. Their feature story, 'Poisoned', tells of the continuing use of chemicals in nut, vegetable and fruit farming in Australia that have a history of causing birth defects in humans and other living creatures. We recommend you read the full story.

If you are wanting to learn more about chemical-free eating and living we recommend the following books:

• Chemical Free Kids by Sarah Lantz
• Chemical Free Home by Robin Stewart
• Chemical Free Pest Control by Robin Stewart

Another way to be more certain about he what is sprayed and added to your food is to grow for food at home, although we do suggest you check out the history of your property and any likely trace chemicals that may be found. We have a great number of books on growing fruit, vegetables, and herbs.
