So Mother, all the more reason to take charge and use your economic power! Support organic farmers/growers and their sustainable way of agriculture! From now on

whenever you put something into your child’s mouth, ask yourself, “does this build up or break down the body, mind, and spirit of my child/children?”

Provide the basics of Mother Nature, which include:

•Clean fresh air, natural daylight, & sunshine on a daily basis

•Prue, structured drinking water

•Quality protein

•Unrefined essential fatty acids (EFAs) in balance (omega 3 in particular)

•Complex carbohydrates (fresh, organic colorful fruits & vegetables)

•Vitamin, mineral, enzyme & fiber rich foods

•Value time together & Lots of hugs, love, & affection.

Remember that ‘food is a substance that nourishes and promotes growth.’ Thus, if a

product doesn’t do that, it is not a food, but rather a pollutant. Take a good look at the shape of your child’s face and body, their bone structure, teeth, dental arch,

hair, skin, nails, tongue, and alertness. The outer self is a reflection of the inner self. Diet is the simplest, single most important factor affecting a child’s behavior, mental development, health, and physical body.

We are what our parents and grandparents ate and did. We are no different from anything else in Nature. Thus, if you pollute the soil, you produce diseased and sickly crops, unable to nourish or reproduce. Polluted foods contain harmful chemicals and little nutrition. If you pollute a child, the same thing happens.

Nourish your child or children with what Mother Nature has blessed us with. For

every junk food, there is usually a healthy alternative. Strong healthy people make

strong, healthy, happy families. Strong healthy happy families make strong, healthy

happy, productive nations.

Last but not least, remember that mothers and motherhood should always be highly

valued and treated with respect 24/7, every day of the year. Mothers are very special and important because the next generation is in their care and depend on their ability to nourish and nurture them. In essence, motherhood plays a big part in the survival

and well being of future generations. If you choose to become a mother, take the responsibility of motherhood seriously and nourish your child/children in a way that

would make Mother Nature proud.

A Jewish adage says, “God could not be everywhere, and therefore He made

mothers.”

An Arabic proverb puts it this way, “The mother is a school; if she is well reared, you are sure to build a nation.”

A few Italian quotes: A mother’s love has no limits!

A good mother is worth a hundred teachers!

An Italian Mother is a blessing from God!

Russian Sayings: Beauty may open the door, but only virtue enters.

Repeating is the mother of learning.

Haste makes waste

Truth prevails
