Some­thing is ter­ri­bly wrong with the Food Sup­ply and it must be fixed

Food Incor­po­rated  is a must see movie for everyone

Here in Santa Bar­bara, Cal­i­for­nia, one of the Worlds Cap­i­tals of Health Con­scious­ness …  This movie was stopped from play­ing only days after open­ing in the the­ater.  Food Inc. is a pow­er­ful mov­ing and true doc­u­men­tary.  There are parts of the Food Indus­try that are doing every­thing in their power to cen­sor this movie.  Buy this movie and send it to every­one you know for Christ­mas as a stock­ing stuffer.  Get the word out!!! 

We live in a world bom­barded by taste sen­sa­tions cre­ated by chem­i­cals cre­ated from the break­down of indi­vid­ual food com­po­nents that is lit­er­ally killing us slowly.  This process is occur­ring bite by bite and meal by meal.  The Food Indus­try has become even more pow­er­ful then gov­ern­ment agen­cies in their quest to increase the bot­tom line.

I remem­ber look­ing at a big chicken in the Super­mar­ket and say­ing that is one old chicken.  You know the chick­ens they label roast­ers.  Now we have come to find out they are breed­ing them to be so fat they can barely walk and they are grow­ing roaster chick­ens faster then the old types of chicken.  This is when we have entered what I call the “Man play­ing GOD with a small g” zone.

E. Coli is a man made prob­lem cre­ated by force-feeding cat­tle corn, when they are meant to eat grass.  Our diet, which is rich in meats, is out of bal­ance based on the huge sub­si­dies given to the food indus­try through our tax­payer dol­lars that make cheap unhealthy fast food cheaper then nutri­ent dense veg­eta­bles.   We must return to the con­cept of cook­ing on the week­end and spread­ing the meal through the week if we are to live a long healthy life.

Liv­ing in a house with only frozen food and a few knick knacks in the refrig­er­a­tor is not a sta­tus sym­bol of suc­cess indi­cat­ing that you don’t cook.  It is an unwise admis­sion of igno­rance to the impor­tance food plays in your life and your health.

The trust we have placed in the “Food Indus­try and Food Safety” has been totally abused and bro­ken when top food exec­u­tives assume gov­ern­ment posts with  which they then allow ques­tion­able prac­tices to be prac­ticed in the pro­duc­tion of food.  They are only con­cerned about money and we have placed the trust of our health in these unscrupu­lous com­pa­nies.  Here we are talk­ing about health­care.  Lets do some­thing about the food laws.  That is where the money needs to be spent and stop sub­si­diz­ing so much corn.  You would think that the Sur­geon Gen­eral would have some­thing intel­li­gent to say about this. It’s easy they don’t have to take sodas and the like out of schools, just make High Fruc­tose Corn Syrup ille­gal to pro­duce and go back to sugar while tran­si­tion­ing to Agave Nec­tar which taste bet­ter any­way and is good for you.  HFCS is not okay in mod­er­a­tion. It just doesn’t kill you the day you drink or eat it. Am I being dramatic?

Type-II dia­betes mel­li­tus is now a rec­og­nized epi­demic among Amer­i­can chil­dren and the only thing in the junk food that has really changed is the switch from sugar to High Fruc­tose Corn Syrup.  Chil­dren have always eaten too much candy.  Why are they now diabetic?

Ham­burger meat is full of chem­i­cal fillers designed not only to enhance taste but also to kill the germs which are a byprod­uct of the meat slaugh­ter­ing process.  This is on top of the poor nutri­ent con­tent cre­ated by rais­ing the cat­tle on corn to begin with. 100% beef, Yeah Right.

Our non-organic fruits and veg­eta­bles are being genet­i­cally engi­neered to not only be resis­tant to pes­ti­cides, but to cre­ate pes­ti­cides inter­nally, which we then con­sume.  How can you wash off poi­sons that the food is actu­ally pro­duc­ing on its own.

To make mat­ters worse, in 1980 the Supreme Court in their Supreme igno­rance has allowed Cor­po­ra­tions’ to patent the genetic code of the seed itself, thereby hav­ing a patent on life. How in the hell do you patent an apple or corn or a potato?  That is exactly what is hap­pen­ing and com­pa­nies like Mon­santo will come after you in a big way if they find out you are keep­ings seeds from any crop planted they have a patent on. 

I really hope some­one is keep­ing a seed bank to fix this mess when it’s over.  This is exactly what hap­pened in Ire­land.  In 1845 the British oppres­sion of the Irish Catholic forced them to plant pota­toes to sur­vive.  The prob­lem is every­one planted the same type of potato.  When Ire­land got hit by a potato fun­gus,  it wiped out the whole crop of pota­toes for ten years. Close to one mil­lion peo­ple died and another two mil­lion just up and left home to go to Amer­ica , Great Britain and Canada.   The prob­lem here is mag­ni­fied because McDonald’s, Burger King and Jack in the Box are every­where.  They are employ­ing huge multi­na­tional cor­po­ra­tions so that every tomato and leaf of let­tuce taste the same.  This means no vari­a­tion.  Have you ever had a real heir­loom tomato?  If you have then you will note that no two tomato’s taste the same.

By eat­ing fast foods we are allow­ing the food indus­try to slowly kill off the many vari­a­tions of each type of veg­etable and fruit as they strive to cre­ate a uni­form taste pro­file and actu­ally own the genetic pro­file of veg­eta­bles and fruits.  There are many food brands but only 3 or 4 com­pa­nies that own all of them (Well 90 or so %).  This is seri­ous because what­ever they are doing to the food sup­ply, peo­ple are sicker then ever before in his­tory and it is the advances in med­ical sci­ence that are keep­ing peo­ple going.  How many peo­ple do you know over 30 who aren’t tak­ing some kind of pill?

The cost of foods has been skewed. The skew­ing of this process has been cre­ated by the sub­si­diz­ing of corn and its genetic mod­i­fi­ca­tion to cre­ate all forms of low cost non-nutritious foods to con­sume.  This forces the con­sumer to think of the size of the meals as opposed to its nutri­tional value.  Think about it!!!  How does a Dou­ble Cheese Burger cost the same as one Orange or less then cel­ery or broc­coli or squash.  Some­thing is ter­ri­bly wrong.

Why is a fast food dou­ble cheese burger cheaper then fruits and vegetables?

1. The gov­ern­ment sub­si­dizes corn, which is then fed to the cows to make them grow faster and fat­ter result­ing in E. Coli bac­te­ria for­ma­tions that are killing us.
2. The cre­ation of fillers, which cur­rently per­me­ate over 80% of all ham­burger meat that is pack­aged for restau­rant and home use.

What was the biggest source of undoc­u­mented immi­grants com­ing into this country?

1. NAFTA -  When NAFTA was cre­ated Amer­i­can corn drove the Mex­i­can and South Amer­i­can corn farm­ers out of business.
2. This new class of farm­less work­ers were actively recruited by South­ern and West­ern food pro­duc­ers as a cheap form of labor.
3. The Gov­ern­ment was paid through lob­by­ist to look the other way and now when every­thing is out of con­trol, the truth come to to forefront.

Food is the most con­sum­able and highly prof­itable busi­ness in the world.  It is a com­mod­ity that you “have to have to sur­vive” on a daily basis.  It is highly politi­cized.  Now we are talk­ing about a Health care plan that we wouldn’t need if the the food indus­try were respon­si­ble.  View the Full Movie

It is my hope that after view­ing this movie, you begin to under­stand Prin­ci­ple 3 — Food Com­bin­ing for Healthy Diges­tion.  There are cer­tain foods that truly don’t mix.  There are also foods that not every­one can eat.  This is due to Genetic vari­a­tion.  Every­one is unique.

In my opin­ion there are five major dangers;

1. Corn fed Beef
2. Farm raised Fish — Did you know they are try­ing to teach fish to eat corn?
3. High Fruc­tose Corn Syrup
4. Canola Oil
5. We are not buy­ing local fruits and veg­eta­bles which means the pro­duce is being chem­i­cally ripened — We need to real­ize some­times a par­tic­u­lar region just has it bet­ter then oth­ers.  It is eas­ier and health­ier to accept that and take whole food vit­a­mins and “SALBA” then to have them truck in Franken­stein food from a coun­try where who knows what laws apply. These fruits are then arti­fi­cially ripened by gas because the fruit must be shipped green.

We are the peo­ple in con­trol here. Put your foot down and get mad as Hell!!!  Vote with your Wal­let, because once they really start cloning were in trou­ble for sure.  Take the time to cook on Sun­day and spread your meals through the week.  One of the rea­sons peo­ple are tired is because of the junk they are try­ing to feed you.  Don’t buy pack­aged Ham­burger. Only buy the meat ground by your super­mar­ket or butcher.  Only buy local pro­duce. Talk to your friends.  We can stop this.  Get the word out !!!

We must vote with our wal­let.  We are let­ting our taste buds and lack of knowl­edge eat us into extinc­tion.  This is not an exaggeration!!!
