So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Benefits Of Consuming Missouri Local Produce

By Frances Burns


Consuming local food is not only healthy but also ensures that all the monies that would be spent elsewhere remain within the locality. This is key to ensuring that the community grows economically and also encouraging more production due to the availability of market. It is so advantageous since they are always sold while fresh and sometimes sold directly from the farm making it possible to consume all the nutrients. It is so much essential to know where you are buying them due to the health risks that may come as a result of consuming unhealthy ones. The following are benefits of having Missouri local produce.

More taste and flavor. Natural tastes are always splendid. The local produce has a very original aroma, taste, and flavor that no inorganically produced ones can match. The consumption appetite can be enhanced greatly when one feeds on them. Consider getting your best product from the local producer to get its original content.

Improved nutrient level. In the inorganic produce, nutrients are normally artificial and do not have the natural aspect. As such, they may not be as much, or may not even be of a wide variety. Local produce always have more than a dozen nutrients that are so important for the general functioning of the body and the mind. Look for information on the nutritional value of each type of food that the farmer has. This helps to know the kind that is best for your use.

The growth of local economy. Economic growth is as a result of the activities that take place in the communities. Consuming products that are produced within the boundaries of communities ensures that no cash flows out. The money can be invested in other areas thereby enhancing their livelihoods. Ensure that you consume what farmers and growers in your locality finally release to the market to improve the economic growth.

Their growth supports the environment. Conservation of environment is a key aspect that every responsible person should do. Human activities like farming contribute immensely to the destruction of natural resources. The chemicals that inorganic producers use have a negative effect on the environment. Minimizing the use of chemicals and embracing organic farming is a healthy way of promoting the surrounding.

You can know how the produce is grown. Imported foods are grown in conditions that are hard to tell since importers are not in a position to say. Also, the consumer may not be in a position to ask concerning the way production took place. However, you can go to the farmer around and physically see the way things are carried out to be sure that it is organic production.

Seasonal eating. It is not possible to grow some agricultural products throughout the year due to the difference in climatic conditions as the season change. Some crops do not do well in winter, and yet others fail to do well in summer or any other season. As such, you can plan to consume other fruits or vegetables when out of season. Alternatively, during such a time, you can go to a certified and trusted organic supplier who may import from abroad.

The above benefits come to those who consume foods selectively especially those that are produced organically. Emphasize the way production takes place to get value for money and also getting the quality that promotes your health. Ensure that the right vegetables, fruits, grains and animal products are consumed without minding much about the cost.
