A letter from a reader: I agree that organic food is better for all of us. It is a shame that the government does not set the prices for organic nutritional foods at a much more affordable rate than they are at the present time. It is terrible to know that our Government who crys family values, allows the dairy farmers to inject cows with hormones and extreme amounts of antibiotics, that get passed to all of us in the dairy foods. And then turn around and use the tax dollars to buy all of the surplus milk from the farmers as if they are doing us a favor. And yet there are so many hungry people in the world. When will it stop being about money. Time and time again, I hear stories about restaurants and grocery stores that will contaminate the food that they throw out in the trash because it does not look perfect, instead of giving it away. Always affraid that someone will be getting something for nothing. How sad, It is food. And what happened to the FDA approving such things like olestra. That is absolutely horrible. I think about all the children who will eat foods with olestra because someone they love bought it, and they eat it thinking that it is safe. And everyone wonders why there are soooooooo many ill people these days. In my family and friends alone five people in the past five years have gotten cancer (3 family, 2 friends) One friend and one relative died both last year. Two are in remission, and one is fighting for their life. All with completely different lifestyles, So what is going on? I think it is in the food for the main part. Only two of these people smoked. And they all live in different parts of the world. So what is it? How can people argue that chemically treated food is better than organic? And why do they have to put sooooo much food coloring in everything, candy, syrups, deserts, everything If more people knew that it came from such things as coal tar, maybe they would think about giving it to their kids. And the commercials on tv, using innocent little children to show that foods with additives, chemicals are alright, when they themselves have no clue as to what is good for them and are used as little puppets, to lear people to buy the products for their children. They need to have more programs on tv that
can inform the consumers the dangers of all the additives, chemicals and preservatives.
Well I hope that this message wasn't too long, When will the government help to actually
save the children is my question. Thank you, |
