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.
