I, too, believe that plants have energies, and anytime my shrubs must be pruned, I talk to them and give an offering of cornmeal to their base. There have long been studies of the reaction on the surrounding plants when one plant is chopped down. imagine being a cabbage or lettuce or tomato plant...

All things were given to us to use as we need. All things in moderation. All things done with forethought and consideration. It's a tall order.

As for eating healthy... it's a full time job! You will become discouraged too... and will have to make choices depending upon your abilities and lifestyle. Do the best you can, and don't fault others for their choices... if you have time to advocate for a cause, go for it!
