I was in a very good state spiritually when I posted this thread, and I was seeing 111 all the time. Now I'm much more negative and rarely see it.

This year so far I've seen it 14 times. I don't know why or how or what it means... but i really wish I knew. When i first took notice of the numbers it was there all the time, all day long.. . now I find myself scared to death when I see the #'s. I've always been sensitive to things I can't see or hear.. but this is visual people.. this is so in your face it's not even funny, And who knows what the hell it means, ya know? I just wanna know if I'm just plain crazy or if there is a meaning.... Is there a meaning????????????

The "healthy" chocolate he sells has soy and sugar in it, two things my family avoids like the plague. (Soy of course is seriously harmful to the thyroid and also should never be eaten by men because of the estrogenic effect.) And what about the "raw" cheese? What temperature is it processed at? This article explains how cheese processed at high enough temps to kill the enzymes is still legally called "raw": http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/raw-cheese-from-store-is-not-raw/ More questions about Beyond Organic…

Getting beef from half an hour away from my home is sustainable. Getting it from Ohio is not so sustainable, but if that's all there is... But getting it from Missouri is not sustainable at all for me. Or for most of the United States--Jordan's target market. "Green-Fed" is a trademarked term for marketing purposes that describes grass-finished cattle. You know, the kind you buy from reputable farmers all across America. As for Jordan's faith, I'll judge it not by his words but by his actions. All you folks who post here defending Jordan, please explain this statement to me: <em>Beyond Organic foods are fair made, meaning your local farmer gets a fair cut of the deal</em>. How does Jordan accomplish this??? From what I can see from his marketing, Jordan's a swindler who lies to promote a product.

I do agree with with the comments that remind us all that even for those who are interested in health, the environment, sustainability etc. that it is about profit. If we cannot survive financially we cannot effect a change. Even small local farmers are in it for the profit. It is not a dirty word. They would gladly ship their meat for profit if they had the market. Also, It’s great that you have the ability to get to a local farmer. Many people live in large cities and do not have this access. If you live far from the farm your food has to be shipped to you. Sustainable or not. You can’t grow cows in the city. (you can however, make “pink slime” there evidently) I think Jordan Rubin is attempting to get the goods to the people. How can making organic grass fed beef available to the entire US be a bad thing? You do not have to be part of the MLM to get it. It is expensive, I can’t afford anything he is selling (fortunately, like you I have local access for much less $$) but those who can afford it at least have the opportunity. The recent “pink slime” info should make us all push for anyone who is selling real food! PS :Green-fed means his cows never get grain. PPS: He is a Messianic Jew meaning he is a Christian. He lives his faith and yes, it is a part of every aspect of his life, including his business, also, not a dirty word. Joanne: I am not a fan of MLM either.
