I absolutely despise the FDA.
RECORD BREAKING ONE MILLION AMERICANS TELL FDA: WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN OUR FOOD
Our whole lives we have been convinced that the FDA is like a “protection” for us. That if something is FDA approved it is safe, and something that is not approved isn’t safe. This is all completely wrong.
The FDA isn’t concerned for our health. They will lie and deny that a product they passed is unhealthy. Why? Money. If this item makes the government money, and has no short term effect, then they don’t care about the long term affects.
I don’t understand how they can be so heartless and greedy. Our bodies are built to live so much longer than 80(ish) years. But we are slowing killing ourselves. We are tricked into thinking harmful items, aren’t harmful.
I have to quote the movie Food Matters here (A must see movie, if you haven’t already!). Dr. Andrew Saul, Therapeutic Nutritional Specialist, said “Good health makes a lot of sense, but not a lot of dollars” This couldn’t be more accurate.
The very first scene of this movie the show a quote by the hippocrates that says “Let thy food by thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.” Chemicals (found in processed foods) and growth hormones are NOT supposed to be in our bodies! But it makes for longer lasting food, there for being able mass produce with item without having to throw any out. It makes for faster growing and bigger animals, in turn being able to sell more, faster.
Its all about the money. They allow people to sell these, obviously, harmful products and now people are getting sick. What do people do when they get sick? They go to the doctor, and the doctor gives them a prescription. I am not completely against all prescriptions. Antibiotics and pain relief works amazing, its the long term drugs that start to show problems. When really all you need is a proper, clean, mostly organic diet, and to keep up with daily exercise.
We should not be scared of the food put out in our stores. We have the right to know what we are consuming!
