When Organic Is Not Really Organic

When are organic products not really organic?  Well, when you buy them at the organic food store but it turns out that they were made in China.  Yep, that's right.  A major news investigation has revealed that many of the "organic foods" that you are buying at organic food stores are actually made in China.  It turns out that Whole Foods (the largest organic food chain in the United States) is selling a large number of "organic foods" that are actually produced across the globe in China.  Of course the notification that the product is made in China is in small lettering on the back of the package, so most consumers never have any idea that the organic product that they just purchased was grown half a world away.

Retail Stores And Fast Food Restaurants – A Festival Of Fecal Contamination

Fast Food RestaurantHave you shopped in a retail store lately?  Dined in a fast food restaurant recently?  If so, it is quite likely that you have encountered a festival of fecal contamination.  Seriously.  A new study in the International Journal of Food Microbiology and an investigation by Good Morning America have uncovered some very disturbing facts about the places where many of us regularly eat and shop.  As Americans, we prefer to think that our public places are clean and healthy, but that is very much not true.  In fact, after learning what has been found, you may never look at retail stores or fast food restaurants the same way again.

Now They Want To Put Anti-Cancer Drugs Into Our French Fries And Potato Chips

Now They Want To Put Anti-Cancer Drugs Into Our French Fries And Potato ChipsFor years, scientists have been trying to figure out a way to get a cancer-causing chemical known as acrylamide out of our french fries and potato chips. You see, acrylamide is not intentionally put into our food - it is the unintentional byproduct of the cooking process. Up until now it seemed as though there was no solution to this problem. Now, Health Canada is proposing to allow food manufacturers to put small amounts of a cancer-fighting drug known as asparaginase into french fries and potato chips and other similar foods to solve this problem. Apparently asparaginase reduces the production of acrylamide during the cooking process by as much as 90 percent. But is this really such a good idea? (Read More.....)

Your Food Is Being Sprayed With Viruses And The FDA Is Okay With That

Your Food Is Being Sprayed With Viruses And The FDA Is Okay With ThatDid you know that viruses are being sprayed on a lot of the meat that you eat? Did you know that the FDA is perfectly okay with these viruses being sprayed on your meat? We truly do live in a bizarre world. You see, back in 2006 the FDA approved a virus-cocktail spray that is designed to prevent listeriosis. The viral spray is known as LMP 102 and it is actually a mixture of six different viruses.  It was designed to be sprayed on luncheon meat, poultry, cold cuts, sausages, hot dogs, sliced turkey, and chicken.  So this is news to you?  That is the way it was supposed to be.  Most Americans were not even supposed to be aware that their meat was being sprayed with viruses.  The FDA even admitted as much when it said this: "Consumers won’t be aware that meat and poultry products have been treated with the spray."  The truth is that if you have not adopted an organic lifestyle, then a large percentage of your meat is being sprayed with viruses before you eat it and nobody even bothered to inform you of it.  (Read More.....)

americas-contaminated-food-supplychina-pollution-prob-002The truth about America's contaminated food supply is not told to the American public.  You see, the vast majority of Americans simply do not realize that the FDA expressly allows rat excrement, maggots and insect heads to be put into their food.  Seriously.  After learning the truth about America's food supply, you will want to eat organic food forever.  The reality is that the FDA explicitly allows large levels of the most disgusting contaminants in the food that we buy in the supermarket every day.
