Mission Marketer Kit from Beyond Organic Arrived

At a recent meeting held in Labadie, MO, when I attended a discussion on the coal dust levee being proposed at the Union Electric Plant, I picked up a brochure on the organization of a national enterprize known as Beyond Organic.

It told of a life of work by a young, 19-year-old man -- Jordan Rubin -- who at that age came down with a disease that brought him down to 111 pounds and a diagnosis of being not curable.

He made a study of natural foods and changed his way of life and diet. In the process of regaining his health, he has made a fortune through writing, lecturing and producing natural, organic foods.

Although he lives in Florida, he has selected almost 9,000 acres in Southwest Missouri to become his "beef headquarters," and it is now up and running, with I think he said 600 new calves this year -- all to be fed on grass that has been grown with a healthy, non-toxic method of farming.

He also looked all over the nation and picked out of the hundred choices, a spring at Blue Spring, GA, in the Blue Ridge Mountains about 10 miles from the borders of Tennessee and Georgia because tests proved it was the best water in the world.

After reading the handout at Labadie and the fact that at the time I was looking at nutrition as a possible remedy for my bout of lymphoma, I signed on as an insider.  I liked the possblility of having a new start in agriculture after a lifetime on a farm and I agreed to become a Mission Marketer.  Now in November my kit arrived.

There is much to study and learn but as I watched agriculture change from the once healthy food we earlier produced to the large scale operations we see now which rely on confinement feeding, untold amounts of pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals, I am told Beyond Organics have recruited more than 35,000 individuals to become involved as marketers to be able to buy organic food stuffs for ourselves and to offer others to buy through us. Direct marketing will be the chosen method as these products will not be sold in stores.

So today, Nov. 2 was the day my kit arrived and a couple of hours reading the book Live Beyond Organic made me feel good that I might have made the right decision, especially as I read of outbreaks related to food products in the west and the e-coli outbreaks locally. I do the shopping for food in my house and have watched prices go up about 15 percent to 20 percent in the last year and know this is just the  beginning as our inflation really begins in earnest soon.

The Beyond Organic full line of products for a healthy living might be an interesting idea for all Patch readers to be aware of.
