"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

This quote is often attributed to Edmund Burke. However, there is no proof he actually said or write that. He said something comparing good and evil- he was an amazing smart man. 

Anyway, whoever said it first was right. I very firmly believe there is Evil in this world. And I know there are many times that I fail in doing the right thing. 

Tonight I was reminded of that is something that might sound so minor. But is important, so very important. A dear friend of mine shared an article about a judge deciding that people cannot drink milk from their own cows. 

I was really interested in reading the article. I feel that the way we eat is just horrid. And the way our government treats our food, and our health, is atrocious. 

But two paragraphs into the article and I could no longer keep my focus. And when I go shopping, I head to the local mega-grocers. I do not buy a lot of processed foods, but I get a couple things. And yes, I love my processed white sugar. 

This is really a problem, people. We think the stuff we are putting in to our bodies is food. It is not. And we so often fail to see the connection between what we put in our bodies and how our bodies behave. Too bad our doctors prescribe chemicals instead of treating the human body...

I know I am a huge hypocrite. I do not eat like I should. I do not feed my family like I should. But I am working on it. And I am trying to educate myself and my family on Healthy choices. Not just following a trend or doing what some article online told me to do. I really want to help my family be as healthy as we can. And that starts with what we put in to our bodies. 

Hippocrates said "Let food by thy medicine." How did we get so far from this way of thinking? And how can we get back?
