There was never a vote on any of this. The crazy chemical and genetic manipulations no doubt give us more lbs of food per acre, with lowered losses in storage. But the food produced is harmful. Seems like a vote could have been conducted. Would you like to pay X per lb of Bread, (crap I forgot to mention that wheat is treated with bromine to "age" it for a better "mouth feel" bread) and be obese and lose 20 years of your life, or would you like to pay Y per lb of bread. Sounds like something that at least the congress should have investigated on our behalf? No, we have an agency that nobody cares enough about to monitor their actions, that is readily bribed to allow the poison foods to be forced on us. (because everybody gotta eat?)

Yes, the lack of outcry over the gigantic floating plastic debris fields in the center of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans is quite telling.

Yes. And it's worth noting that even so-called 'non-GMO' crops can be doused with glyphosate as a dessicant to increase yield. The crop is still not GMO, but is now contaminated with glyphosate. So that non-GMO stuff you're eating could still be full of it. I don't know how to avoid all of this cr@p so I try my best to buy fully grass fed and grass finished meat, preferably from a farm that is local to me. And I try to get 'organic' produce (though that doesn't mean it actually has any nutrients in it, per OP's first post.) and grow some myself. And I don't buy much processed food at all. And I only get condiments and sugary stuff that has ACTUAL SUGAR in it. No HFCS. It's not tough to find the right stuff, but it is expensive! |

Commercial farms strip the trace nutrients from the soil and hence the food that is supposed to contain nutrients is not empty of them. "Hey, it looks like spinach!" The old farmers added their wood ashes to the garden, which inadvertently improved the nutritional content of the food. Now we heat with gas, so no more wood ashes. Chickens used to get enough space, sunlight and exercise that they did not require a steady dosing of drugs to keep them alive. Now they get a steady diet of growth hormones, antibiotics, anti parasitics, etc. Everyone in the US is deficient in Magnesium and Iodine. (You only need that stuff if you want your heart to continue beating and your brain, thyroid and eyes to be healthy). People used to cook a lot of stews that included animal bones and cartilage. Long hours of boiling on the stove would release the complex molecules from the animal skeletons, which gave our bodies the stuff to repair joint wear and tear. Now we just get drugs to kill the pain. The question shouldn't be why are we overweight and suffering from autoimmunity. It should be how the hell are any of us still alive? Add in the lifetime of constant jabbing with vaccinations that insult the immune system. It only shows that the stomach is not necessary, we could transform to something that needs less food, doing good to the environment and to battling the climate crisis also. Thank you for pointing it out. Maybe one or two pills a day would be suffice for start, till we eliminate completely that fault. |

(Learned about this one on this website just the other day from someone with farm experience. Thank you! Quoting: Justme C'est Moi [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Potato tops sprayed with what's basically acid, to kill off the greenery and facilitate harvesting. It's a running joke amongst potato farmers that people think the skins are the best part of the spud, whereas just under the skin is where most of the chemicals tend to accumulate. Lettuce has around 14 different applications over its short growing span. My neighbour has about 14 acres of lettuce under glaas ayr and he tells me that they are NOT APPROVED for pet rabbits, but OK for you and I to eat. We farm organically, but drift of chemicals is always an issue. I got caught in a pesticide overspray some years back when the wind suddenly shifted while my neighbour was helicopter spraying. Was ill for about 18 months. It is not really viable for everyone to farm organically though, mass production for the lowest cost is the only way to survive for most farmers and people want cheap food. secretswami |
