>>I agree with all you've said and know the FDA is certainly not out for the

>>By the way, Tracey and I have made it a priority to start eating
>>healthier and cooking almost every meal at home. Not easy on a workin
>>schedule, but it can be done by cooking a lot on weekends. We're already
>>feeling much better physically and emotionally.

>>>Actually this is spot on as for the intentions. Sure the pharmaceutical
>>>drugs do help those with some diseases not caused by other drugs
>>>themselves so there is that argument, but just like one can turn the word
>>>around with half truths in any desired direction, one must really stand
>>>back and look at the big picture and separate yourself from propaganda in
>>>either camp, looking at the intensions, results and state of things. When
>>>you can watch TV and 6 out of 10 commercials are pushing some drug, some
>>>not even telling you what the drug is for but rather... "Check with your
>>>doctor and see if Injectuseedamidaphin is for you". And then take note
>>>the
>>>politicians that are heavily invested in pharmaceutical companies. And of
>>>course then see FDA giving the OK for our meats to be treated with
>>>"carbon
>>>monoxide", wait you say, carbon monoxide? Isn't that what comes out of
>>>the
>>>tail pipe of my car, and the weapon in which some folks use to commit
>>>suicide in the garages with cars running? Yes, one in the same. They
>>>treat
>>>meat with the gas so you can't see the freshness quality by the color. It
>>>is always red and fresh looking despite its age as long as it is treated
>>>with the gas. So FDA is selling public deception. Oh, and remember
>>>Clinton's promise that there will be no cloning in this country? Well?
>>>You
>>>can now clone meat and soon you'll be buying it never knowing which is
>>>natural or which is test tube altered. This country in particular is so,
>>>so, so deceived in the food nutrition it is an atrocity and unfortunately
>>>those blowing the trumpet are accused of being health fanatics out in
>>>left
>>>field. Did you know seed companies of course have hybrids, seeds that
>>>grow
>>>once and you can't take seeds from that fruit or veggie and grow
>>>again, making it harder and harder to have natural seeds from plants but
>>>rather their chemically and genetically altered seeds in which you'll be
>>>reliant on buying from them unless you find a source of hand-me-down
>>>seeds.
>>>Did you know they have a genetically altered chicken which grows no
>>>feathers to make processing easier. Did you know FDA tries to put the
>>>kaboshes on Stevia, a natural sweetener which has no cavity producing
>>>agent
>>>and I believe safe for diabetics to eat? But they will not let it be sold
>>>as a sweetner despite European countries using it for centuries and
>>>centuries with no ill affects. You can buy it as a supplement but it
>>>isn't
>>>found in your grocery store. It is very disheartening to think of how
>>>food
>>>use to be and how it is now with the antibiotics and steroids with our
>>>food
>>>and we're eating it. Our immune systems make using antibiotics when
>>>absolutely necessary of little affect because of the use in our milk and
>>>meat processing. Find yourself a local family or farmer who raises
>>>organic
>>>chicken, you know, the kind that roamed the barnyard naturally and ate
>>>natural corn and etc., and have one of those butchered up and notice the
>>>difference in taste alone, you'll say... "That's how I remember chicken
>>>tasting when I was a kid". There is a very noticeable difference. We have
>>>been wanting to eat healthier and unless you can find local farmers
>>>markets
>>>and etc. it gets to be more expensive. There has got to be a way though,
>>>or
>>>eating as we do will only be supplemented by the pills many Americans
>>>take
>>>for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am currently in search of a low
>>>cholesterol meal plan or recipes as cholesterol build up is prone in our
>>>family and I want to do something about it before I'm the next one laid
>>>out on an operating table with my chest spread open and subsequently take
>>>the drugs needed after such an operation. There are some good books on
>>>biblical eating at BookShare.org if you like. Stormie O'Maritain has some
>>>Don Colburt is another. When I first heard of fast food being addictive,
>>>I
>>>was... "Yah sure right... another cry baby blaming others for their lazy
>>>eating habits", but it is a fact, your body, due to its desire to gain
>>>nutrition, seeks carbs and that coupled with our fast paced lifestyles
>>>many
>>>folks result in fast foods or eating out where the nutritional value
>>>is little but loaded with the carbs. So we eat more, and gain weight,
>>>and
>>>there go the health issues. Just like we can be addicted to sweets, we
>>>can
>>>as well to empty carbs. It isn't until you stop them that you realize
>>>that
>>>"Yeah, I was sort of addicted or craving that all the time, but now that
>>>I
>>>stopped purposefully, I don't". Whether or not the Scripture quoted is
>>>right or not, it wouldn't surprise me, and even if it isn't, it doesn't
>>>take away the fact that pharmaceutical companies and the inside partner
>>>FDA
>>>do not have the best interest of the public in mind. Remember, on the
>>>horizon is the chip implant in which they'll likely utilize for health
>>>monitoring, and so they need a large complicated health concern so people
>>>will more openly agree to its use as well. Our former governor, and your
>>>former Secretary of Health and Human Services in Bushes first stint,
>>>Tommy
>>>Thompson has one of these chips and sees nothing wrong with it and
>>>praises
>>>it. Ten years ago when this technology was being developed, such a
>>>warning
>>>seemed like a science fiction alarmist gloom and doom farce, and it is
>>>being used daily now in our livestock and pets. Try and buy a pet that is
>>>registered these days without a chip in the ear, you can't. OK I'm done
>>>with my rambling rant *smile* but we all, myself included, need to take
>>>the
>>>time, and make eating healthier a priority now more than any other time
>>>in
>>>history.
