FOOD INC. What Government and Monopolies are doing to our Food???

Thanks for posting. Thats disgusting.

I'm transitioning to 100% organic, in the next 12 months.

Organic food (no GMO, hormone-laden, crap-fed meat/veggies). Atmospheric water generator hooked up to the water tank (eliminate fluoride/chlorine/heavy metals/pharmaceuticals in both tap and bath water). Natural Bath and Laundry Soaps made from vegetable tallow (most ingredients in mainline cosmetics, soaps and detergents are chemical by-products from the Petroleum Industry). We're literally bathing ourselves in toxic chemicals....

Then chelate heavy metals. Find a good naturopathic dentist. Detox. Buy a new cooking set.

If I get the cheddar (pun intended), I'd like to buy a hobby farm and raise a small head of livestock and produce. Chickens, goats, beef. Veggies. The 'produce share' co-op movement for small, rural farms has caught on. Mom-and-pop farmers that raise organic - but can't compete - sell direct 'shares' to consumers, for a portion of their output.

Even fluoridation alone reduces IQ by some 15-20 points. Basically, a partial Chemical lobotomy. Dominant Male Apes committing infanticide to wipe out competition. Its the same thing. We're literally under a form of soft-kill, Chemical attack.

All the auto-immune diseases, asthma, respiratory, hacking, mucous, blocked/restricted breathing. The food, water and detergents we feed and bath in, on a daily basis, are literally the pollutants responsible for the epidemic in exotic cancers, auto-immune shit, chronic lethargy, compromised immune system, etc etc.

most of the stuff in this thread is fear mongering. i am old enough to remember how food used to be. food today is as healthy as it ever was and in the case of perishables much healthier now.
for most people you can get the benefit of a healthier life with simple lifestyle changes. eat lots of fruit and vegatables, avoid red meat, dont drink dont smoke. avoid sweet drinks, get off your ass and do some physical labor or exersize.
the organic,naturopathic, supplement industry is mostly a scam to seperate gullible people from their money through fear tactics. when i grew up on a farm we grew organic food all the time because we couldnt afford chemicals. do you know how we fertalized? we used the animal manure accumulated over the winter to spread on the ground that we grew vegatables in. how healthy do you think that really is? it was chemical free though. the truth is that without modern chemicals humans would starve because yields would be cut in half.

if you dont want to be ridiculed dont believe ridiculous things like creationism. you have to go pretty far down the intelligence food chain to find people who still believe in biblical creation.

I'll believe whatever i want and from the security of your PC you can ridicule who you want. At least man up about being exactly what you say you hate....a fanatical lunatic about your belief's.

readers digest just had an article about the growing number of consumers buying their meat directly from farmers who grass/field raise their stock. The price/pound is about the same as you would pay for hormone grown meat. The only thing is you have to buy like 1/4 cow...

The comments made are based on factual evidence that the food and water supply has been compromised in pursuit of mass production and profits. The findings have been verified by independent researchers, govt agencies and the companies themselves. Many countries have banned certain practices when faced with the dominating amount of evidence.

Interesting. I'll look into that. I don't mind making space for an extra freezer.

I spoke with the wifey last night. She's game with having a few meatless dinners a week. It's a start.

I wish I knew. I am not religious at all, I just have to look out my window....that's all I need. You need to disprove a creator more than I have to prove creation....

My problem with the creation model is purpose. What purpose is served by building in design flaws like mortality and disease or asocial emotions like greed and jealousy not to mention extinction inducing extra-terrestrial objects?

IMHO, everything's random. It's just as likely that we're just franken-primates.

I was in the Navy, stationed in the Gulf of Oman in '80. During that deployment we became acquainted with Parmalat milk that included "no refrigeration needed" on the container, presumably because of an ingredient that read "permitted stabilizers."

If something so unnatural as milk that doesn't go bad is so healthy for you then why weren't we told what it was and who permitted it?

Because you are on a "need to know" basis.

Quote from LEAPup:

I eat meat. A also agree with you. Human teeth were not designed to eat meat. A Friend of mine who trains pro athletes said, "bite down on your finger with your molars. Now put your finger in a dog's mouth, and feel those molars. The difference? Your's are flat, made to grind. The dog's are sharp like a pair of scissors..."

Your friend lacks common sense. A dog is a carnivore. Humans are not carnivores, they are omnivores, not pure herbivores. We cannot digest cellulose, which all herbivores can. The whole argument that humans were not meant to eat meat falls apart at that one key point.

Our digestive system and teeth are designed for both meat & vegetables. While we can live on meat alone, it is not too wise as there will be some nutrient deficiency along with a clogged digestive system. While we can live on vegetables, nuts & fruits alone, it is also not too wise. We will lack proper proteins, proper fats and B vitamins. Neither is optimal.

The healthiest communities on this earth are not vegetarians, they are mostly meat eaters. One group is eskimos who can only eat vegetables & fruits in the summer. They live off fish & walrus, their primary energy source are fats. Another group, Hunzas I think, eat pork, beef, chicken, etc. I do know that Okinawas are vegetarian.

If your meat is healthy, it has exceptionally high nutritional value and is digested very easily by your system. If your meat comes from your standard commercial meat farm, naturally your digestive system will struggle with it. It's not about whether to eat meat or not, it's how your food is raised & grown.
