					<description><![CDATA[I am a sick person and was considering food from the storehouse but I absolutely cannot afford to eat foods that will harm me further. I am extremely grateful for all the church has done for me, but this is poison to my system. I&#039;m already suffering grately with thyroid, adrenal, gut issues and I can&#039;t risk this. I am also in need for food though, yet I can&#039;t take this food because it will damage me further. Wouldn&#039;t God want us to eat healthy ? Staying alive is wonderful, but staying alive while poisoned, is not. I&#039;d rather die. ]]></description>

Yes!  Often things/updates happen slower in the Church due to man&#039;s limited vision.  I had a great desire to have Preach My Gospel 10 years before it came out.  The missionaries I went teaching with weren&#039;t grasping the concerns of the Investigator because the were caught up in sticking to the Discussions and not relying on the Spirit. 
I know in time non gmo/non-organic food will be removed from the Bishop&#039;s Storehouse as well.  Many people have food sensitivities and cannot eat the current food there due to health conditions but the Lord only has to work with the limited vision of men who grew up in a day when it wasn&#039;t even around.  I highly respect these men and know in time this will be addressed.  I think sometimes in our Church people forget that The Law of Consecration included wants and needs but the Lord does expect us to live self sufficiently and if your bishop doesn&#039;t see fit to bless you in that way, you must wait on the Lord.  Bishops could write out $100,000 check if they wanted to so it is quite surprising when they don&#039;t help the members of their ward get back on their feet but that will be on him to answer to the Lord.  When there is sufficient and immediate support most people typically get back on their feet but usually there is a lag and then people sometimes get lazy.  Oh to live in a Celestial World where everything runs perfectly.  ]]></description>

He is just glad he has food on the table. He doesn&#039;t see connection to hospital bills which come later. However, every person who can read can educate themselves on the health facts, such as chemicals/pesticides/herbicides used in agriculture lead to diseases such as cancer, birth defects, autism, infertility and more. If the Storehouse has GMO foods then that is counter productive to procreation! Duh! Wake up people, you don&#039;t have swallow lies, do you?
I will be checking back later, to see if my post has been submitted, to know if Gramps is evil = not wanting you to know the truth about food and health. And yes, I am a nutritionist and what I say is supported by medical doctors and scientists.]]></description>

Organics are nutrient-dense foods… more bang for your buck. Our grocery bill has gone down since we’ve made changes, not to mention we NEVER get really sick anymore. Once or twice a year, we might feel ‘under the weather,’ but then by morning we’re up and at ‘em again.

Because of good health, we are able to work harder and longer, thus, support our family better.

Nobody’s saying to serve caviar. You’re implying that we’re asking for gold when all we want is to survive.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yes, it’s a test of my faith that they offer foods that feed cancer cells (sugar, wheat, etc) and foods laden with pesticides. If they’re directed by God, why doesn’t He tell them to give the people nutrition, not hurry them home by killing them off quickly, not to mention the Food to Help the Poor doesn’t give them the energy and vitality they need to work through a hard time.

It made me fat, the 2 years we had to rely on it. I developed diabetes and high blood pressure. (but now do not have those issues as we eat healthy.)

So, now, tell me, WHY do they do this to people? You can’t say it’s to save lives, because it doesn’t. It diminishes the quality of life.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You know, once you start picking apart that which the Lord offers us, there is no end in sight.  Why does the Bishop&#039;s Storehouse offer sugar loaded cereals that rot our children&#039;s teeth?  Why do they offer Fluoridated toothpaste that has been shown to cause cancer in lab rats?  Why do they offer red meat, which causes heart disease?  Why do they offer cheap un-biodegradable toilet paper that clogs our nation&#039;s septic treatment plants?  You could go on and on.  Bottom line is they have to offer things that match the lifestyle of the average person.  Otherwise, if they just offered fruits and vegetables, it would not be much help to people who are struggling.  Not to mention it would probably burn up our fast offering donations twice as fast if they bought the higher end products, thus helping far less people.  That&#039;s not being a wise steward.]]></description>
