Plant A Garden And Grow Food Not Grass.
This is a very interesting discussion to have. People who suffer from an auto-immune disease like Celiac Disease, gluten-intolerance and a variety of other health concerns face challenges that require a lot of education and obstacles everyday.Yes. It's often unfair, tiring, expensive and the hurdles can bring us down, but we can't live this way forever.
Take Life By The Seeds
If you have property then your'e already growing grass, watering, feeding and looking at it already. If you don't have property you can find an inexpensive community garden plot and/or share it with neighbors and grow your own food. Gather some new or used tools and plant your future.
Those Earlier Men/Women
I know it seems like ages ago, but most human beings used to grow their own food to survive. Yes. It's easy to go to the grocery store in 2013, but when you have a health condition, you have an opportunity to step it up and overcome.

Organic, All-Natural, Free-Range Food Labeling Confusion
Are you confused by labels at the grocery store when shopping for meat, dairy, fruits, veggies and more? I sure am... because many manufacturers don't follow approved certifications because it's either expensive, a lot of work to undergo or they just don't care. Here is a large list of my understanding on many common approved food labels as well as non-approved labels (self-labeling) that you may think are safe, but may be risky to yourself, family and even the community.
Certified Labels:
These are 3rd party verified by either USDA or non-profit groups that ensure protocol and ongoing practices are met to retain the approved and certified labeling. Often the labeling has a cost that could be expensive, too, so know that some farmers truly care. These are to be trusted, but products could change over time.
Fair Trade
Often seen on coffee, bananas, tea, cocoa, sugar and is enforced by the non gov, Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International (FLO) and if in the US by Fair Trade USA. Further, this signifies employees received fair wages, shelter, health, safety, may be in trade unions and any forced labor is prohibited. Very cool if you ask me.
