living the whole organic concept, verb
1.    environmental awareness
2.    social consciousness
3.    environmental awareness + social consciousness = living the whole organic concept.

gogreenbabygo is where those who take an interest in living healthy, eating healthy, and raising healthy children come to meet.  gogreenbabygo is equally passionate about social justice and personal growth.  Are you concerned about the chemicals used in food and product production? What do you know about industrial agriculture? Have you thought about corporate dominance over issues such as health care? Where do you stand on the privatization of public education?  Do you question the mores of the 21st Century?

Because the organic movement has become so broad, some find it difficult to relate to and are not sure where to they fit.  Commercialism within the organic market adds another layer to sift through.  We hope to explore in detail the areas that are vital to our health and wellness while still remaining in touch and a part of what’s considered mainstream. We aim to bridge the gap with relevant information regarding living wholesome with articles, and information that feeds every facet of our lives.  The goal is not to feel we must choose between lifestyles, but to be armed with the information we need in order to make the best lifestyle choices.

Every initiative began with a few concerned people.  This is where we come to meet. Where we will share.  Thank you for participating and being a part of our community.  Thank you for deciding to live the whole organic concept.

Sincerely,

Juli Shepherd-Southwell, Founder gogreenbabygo, LLC

You got slimed!

Kids love slime and things that resemble it.  Orange, green, and neon gook they can squish and squeeze.  Slimy toys that squish inside their containers and make fart noises were the rave for my oldest boy when he reached the gross is cool age.  Who remembers the all-mighty slimers of slime brought to us by Nickelodeon’s show You Can’t Do That On Television?

Slime is cool-just not in food.  Yes, you read it right.  Slime in food.  McDonalds, Burger King, and Taco Bell were feeding us slime, beef slime.  McDonalds recently decided to pull slime from their ground beef following in the footsteps of Burger King and Taco Bell.  The details of the story are quite sickening.  Ammoninum Hydroxide-a substance we keep locked away in our cleaning cabinets was being added into our ground beef by Beef Products, Inc., to kill E.Coli, so they could make the parts of a cow that’s typically used for the production of dog food “safe” for human consumption.

Shame on the horrors of industrial agriculture.  Shame on the FDA for approving this process and exempting Beef Products, Inc. from listing it as an ingredient.  For detailed information click onto the following links, and if you feel so inclined go to Netflix and stream, or request Food, Inc to get a glimpse of what’s happening within the food industry and see Beef Products, Inc openly discuss ammonium hydroxide and it’s (should I dare say) benefits.
