The Organic for Health Virtual Tour

by JM

organic-for-health.jpgHello and happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m doing something a little different…

When it comes to the healthy changes I made (some whether I liked it or not, hehe) after I moved to Australia, I will be the first to tell you the many, many ways those changes helped me. That’s why I am happy to introduce you to Sandy Power’s Organic for Healthy virtual tour.

Sandy is touring around the internet this month with her book (pictured right) Organic for Health. In it, Sandy tells us the many reasons why we should go organic.

An excerpt from the book:

‘I call them “The Big Offenders.” These are the guys that add hormones and antibiotics to dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, and chickens. They inject these hormones into cattle and sheep so the animals gain weight faster. The faster weight gain reduces the waiting time for the animal’s slaughter, speeding the meat to your dinner table. Dairy cows are injected with hormones to increase milk production. This increase in milk production requires frequent milking which in turn leads to udder irritation and infections that require antibiotics. Since the infections don’t always completely clear up, the government permits a certain amount of pus to remain in the milk.’

If you would like more information on Sandy’s tour, you can check out Virtual Book Tours for Authors. She’ll be stopping back here this Friday with a guest post about going organic. I’ll also be posting a review of her book here after that.

Have a great Monday!

    I really like the cover of this book. Having read it, the book certainly discusses the many advantages of eating organic.

    Hi, stopping by early to thank you for hosting my tour.
    The co-ordinator of a project for sustainable farming in the valley between Sidney and Brisbane has email me for information on organic living. Her email is : paradoxiss@bigpond.com
    Thought you might be interested. She has read some of my articles on American Chronicle.
    Thanks,
    Sandy Powers

    Thank you both for stopping by. And thank you, Sandy for the email. Sydney and Brisbane are a bit far away, but I’ll keep it in mind should I have any questions.
