"If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls of those who live under tyranny."
I love this quote! We watched the movie "Food Inc." recently, and they should have included this quote in it. We really only grow enough to eat it fresh from the garden. I need to work on my garden planning better :-) Blessings, Marcia
So true! We're enlarging our garden next year and I am trying to can some things this year. Thanks for sharing that quote! Your food looks delicious! Be well, Angela
This is a wise quote...as most quotes tend to be. I am not against medication, but I do believe that we have a choice in what we put into our bodies. Natural herbs, healthy organic foods is truly the best medicine out there!
What a profound quote from Mr. Jefferson. And aren't we seeing today the results of government involvement, government regulation, and government subsidization in our food and pharmaceutical chains ? *sigh* Thank you for sharing the quote and the yummy photo!
Nothing says "Fall" like preserving jars! Lovely!

And it was as true then as it is now...That T.J. is so very timeless, as is the art of preserving for later. What beautiful jars of wonderful food!
