Do you know what an Urban Desert is? I didn't until very recently.

Food desertFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A food desert is a geographic area where affordable and nutritious food is difficult to obtain, particularly for those without access to an automobile.[1] Food deserts usually exist in rural areas and low-income communities. Some research links them to diet-related health problems in affected populations.[2] Food deserts are sometimes associated with supermarket shortages and food security. The concept is controversial, and not universally accepted.[3]  

I watched a documentary called  A Place at the table. What a rude awakening, on several topics.  Obesity, Starving children's brains, & the ridiculous amount some have to go to just to give their children a healthy meal! CRIMINAL.  Watch it. It's a heck of a lot more import than Honey BooBoo.  Kids don't have a chance. ;(  UNLESS we demand changes!! 
It is an American Documentary but if you think it is not starting to happen here think again and take a good look at your surroundings. 
It inspired me to plant our garden, I planted extra for friends, neighbors and the food bank - if we am blessed with  good crop.
It was a great day to be in the garden with my girls!  I felt wonderful,  I even baked a apple berry pie! Woot! Woot! 

BTW, I use fresh fruit- apples, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries! About 1/2 cup organic sugar/brown. THAT's all. Stir & place in homemade pie crust ;) 
Bake at 350 for 40 mins.
Not too much sugar and 'these two' never complain!

  Please educate yourself on FOOD and how we are losing control of it. 
It's not just about Cannabis.  It IS ABOUT our kids!

My friend Todd...
I have blogged about Todd before. I believe everything and everyone for a reason. I first met Todd at an EXPO and he 'called me' on something -  something I offered in my newsletter-  to make a long story short - he got my attention, we struck up a conversation and today I am honored to call him and his family friends.  

Todd GREW Cannabis legally in the united states.
HE DID. 
By paying for tax stamps! I have one right here on my desk to remind me daily of the injustise my friend faces (in the image above) Tennessee Department of Revenue -UNAUTHORIZED SUBSTANCE STAMP(s).. and guess what friends, they don't come cheap.  Todd has been playing by the rules, openly goes & pays for his stamps and they know what he has been growing. Todd even has a website he promotes- In other words...
*** IT'S BEEN NO BIG SECRET -  BUT not too long ago they still busted his door in and held a gun to his daughters head and arrested Todd.  You can research it all yourself or contact Todd, he has nothing to hide.
Shortly after being busted, his younger daughter Ariel was rushed to hospital  with pain in her abdomen only to find out she had cancer. She has undergone extensive surgeries and  cancer treatments. 
Todd has much going on.. His court date is July 14th. 2014.  
He does not know if he will go to jail very soon and what his he doing - he is MARCHING!  We are close, when this bust happened and I first spoke with Todd, he was frightened (how can one not be), now, I am witnessing a different Todd, one who knows he did nothing wrong and is tired of being pushed around and is tired of watching everyone being pushed around - for what?   NOW - A substance only a couple of states away is celebrated. 
 It is ridiculous!  
I am sure people who know Todd are thinking, why did'nt she draw Todd walking... 
-one of the reasons why I love my friend Todd, his letter starts off with this:

I got a new bike! LOL 
My glee has me peddling my behind all over town! Between cabin fever, issues with walking/balance - not driving-  Well, I can drive and very recently we were considering a smart car, but for the amount of time I actually HAVE to go places, I'd rather not.  Save some money, gas, insurance and more.... but I need to have some freedom so when my friend Cathy mentioned she rides her bike all over - I thought fantastic! But again there is that issue with balance.. 

Where does the time go!? It is almost the end of May!  

Todays toon, my twitch is really bad at night, some nights, after 7  I hardly function, and I cannot read, it’s just too powerful and frustrating, so Norm has taken to reading to me.
I enjoy it. We enjoy it.  WELL...  not his choice of books always, not what I would choose and we are working on that! LOL 

We just finished the Planets, it was all very interesting and the book is a couple of decades old so we have talked about quite a bit... BUTT when he got the the section on Uranus - 
It just seems that everything he said sounded ‘funny.’  

I do smoke a joint at night before I sleep, Norm was cracking up as much as I was  (he does not smoke) by the end of it- my head hurt.. anyhow  two 50 = year olds, I know it is immature but - so what!  Giggle, What ever it takes.

We are now reading  world events though out history.  I get to pick the next book.   

Tomorrow’s blog - I have new wheels!!!  
xox <>< 

Freedom what does it mean to you?
Freedom to grow what you want in your garden. No, I am not free to do this in Canada. 
I want to grow a plant - outside! Nope.
Freedom of speech - here in Canada,  NO. Apparently not. NOT unless you only have 'nice stuff ' to say, ass kissing to do.. or "Gee you are pretty,"  fluff, that is all o.k.
Comments that ask questions? Not on Rona Ambrose - our Health Ministers Face book page.  
I was, and I did comment of course.  Along the lines of: please address some of our concerns, Cannabis is a medicine for children, here is a link to Storms story, blah blah blah.. and before you jump to conclusions  I was not 'nuts' with my posts either - not every day and only I'd say 20 comments or less... I never used foul language, was not rude...  last week I was blocked from commenting.  So were several others. 

Is Rona Ambrose not paid by Canadian tax payers? 
Is it NOT a public page for all to see?
I am sure her 'FB' team is also paid - by us. 
Not only was I stopped from posting. commenting and even liking BUT my comments were deleted. Valid comments. Not just about my own son but other children, parents and citizens all concerned with the direction Health Canada takes. 
Never mind cannabis - wait until you need a medication and find out it is TOO expensive in Canada, and usually NOT covered... ASK - you will find it is much more common that you are aware! I am not shocked I was removed, deleted. I made people think. Question, 
So - should we be prohibited from making comments on PUBLIC pages - like Rona Ambrose? Think about this..   it is one sided media. 
I mean - fine don't let me comment. THEN don't let anyone comment. 

Please feel free to visit Rona Amrose on face book and ask... ANYTHING!
https://www.facebook.com/ronaambrose
Ask her why they delete thought provoking comments?  
Comments that go against the lies they push... 
Get people thinking! Don't be mean...  well I guess that does not matter.
 ONLY say what RONA wants to hear.. then you will be fine.   Will you?
Freedom. Not what I thought it was.

Another one of those things I heard and thought.. nooooooooo it can't be true.
http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2013/10/01/beaver-butts-emit-goo-used-for-vanilla-flavoring/    
I am not a real fan of ice cream but my guys are ;).  I only USE real Vanilla when I bake, I can't figure out why they don't! Don't tell me its cheaper than  - putting the beaver to sleep so it can be milked!??? Ewwwwwwwwwww   REALLY!?  Think of it, they have to cage the beaves, feed the beavers, look after them, put them to sleep to squeeze them...
Criminal IMO that they don't even 'HAVE to list it' - thanks to the FDA it can be listed as 'natural flavorings' ... But.... BUTT.. yes... Natural Flavorings.   
WOW, what does FDA stand for - I think that deserves a toon alone. FreshlyDugA$$?
Mmmmm, here kids have some 'beaver butt' - But don't touch that cannabis, that stops you from having seizures little ones!  Insanity on the GOVERNMENT level.
 Is this world truly this F*cked up? 
What will you do, will you continue to eat it?  
BEAVER GOOOOO squeezed from its ASS. WILL you continue to EAT it? 
No you KNOW. The choice is yours..   Yoga matts,  Beaver butts..  yum.

LOL,  will it be the blue pill or the red pill?
