lmao yeah I remember when I was looking for a small water filter I picked up a Brita and started reading...in tiny text at the bottom it nonchalantly mentions that the filter adds flouride to the water....
wtf why????? we are trying to REMOVE nasty shit from our water...not add it....needless to say I immediately set down the pitcher and went with a different brand. And now I have a RO system so it's a non issue...
God damn. walking $$$$ is right spliff...lets not even get started ranting about the "health" care system in this country....bogus to say the least. planned obsolescence human style...I feel the worst for the doctors who are legitimately trying to help people but are brainwashed and blinded by the pharmaceutical companies in to thinking the poison they are prescribing helps people....its a f*ing disaster...
Luckily for us, the things that are good for our plants are good for us and vice versa. That is one of the best parts about living a recycled organic lifestyle...if you eat healthy your plants will eat healthy. I know that I have started to eat better now that I pay lots of attention to what I give my ladies. Things like Aloe, Coconut water, Sprouted seeds (and the leftover water), Nettle, Kelp, EM (lactobacillus culture), Comfrey, Kale, etc. are all great for me, and in turn great for my bokashi, worms, soil... Bio-accumulators are the name of the game when it comes to this type of stuff - both humans and plants need a large and diverse amount of minerals to be healthy! This is why things like kelp and comfrey are so awesome...
And welcome Mi'kmaq, glad to have you around. This thread is a great read if you have the time, well worth it IMO
