This is not about take away health

Friday, May 1st, 2009
The old saying that we are what we eat seems never more accurate these days, with many foods being mutilated by genetic modification or genetic engineering (GE) for what seems to be one main reason , profits !
Diseases  that were not heard of or did not appear in many cultures are now starting to be a huge problem for the worlds governments and health authorities.
Can it  be that the next generation  will be genetically modified also with even more serious health issues, look at the huge growth industry ( for the drug companies! ) diabetes. A major cause of diabetes can be related to obesity. Can these folks be blamed for their condition with so much mass advertising of food that has had the goodness taken out of it in processing. 

  Corporate profits are being put way ahead of the health of nations, mass advertising brainwashing many into believing that fast is good, toxic chemicals ok , bigger is better and a toy with that mega meal is ok for juniors health, 

 

Toxic chemicals being added to various processed foods, aspartame anyone ? Why did this substance remained on the taboo list for so long and then appeared as a safe food additive at the change of an administration?

There is nothing wrong with food I’m sure a lot will agree on , there is something wrong however with the way health authorities let substances through the net that were never intended for human consumption

Why are healthy natural foods not promoted as much as take away and processed foods are ? Probably less profits.

Really a lot of the toxic processed food we are dished out should come with health warnings, how high do national health budgets have to go before someone in wakes up that many are being poisoned and many health issues can be addressed by not accepting findings and research supplied by drug companies and big Pharma,

Traditional medicine (treating the symptom instead of curing the causes) is not an answer to today’s serious health issues. Prevention  surely must  the   goal  for a healthy population instead of accepting what can be prevented.  Cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other current problems could be seriously reduced by  healthy  eating as an aware populations finds that prevention instead of suppressing may be a reality in the future by a change in attitude, eating and corporate responsibility

If it is processed be wary, if it is a different color than its natural one be wary, if it is in a packet read the labels if it has a toxin in it be wary. Take control of your own health cut down dramatically or eliminate totally processed food and additives. Replace with fish, lean meats, free range chicken/ poultry organic if possible vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, herbs for a much healthier lifestyle.
