Horror Story

[shakatany]

I am reading the scariest, most horrific book ever and unfortunately it's true. It's The Hundred-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine are Destroying Your Health by Randall Fitzgerald. We, and our descendents, are being sacrificed on the alter of Mammon by the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. We are dwelling in an environment full of synthetic compounds that have never existed before in nature - spewed out without really knowing if they are harmless and without knowing how they'll react with each other. These chemicals and compounds may be contributing factors to the increasing rate of cancers, autism, diabetes, attention disorders and other diseases. They are everywhere: in the atmosphere, the water, the soil and our food. 

We can't even trust our government to protect us. These industries' lobbyists and those of the corporate giants of food processing are having a great deal of influence and currently are trying to redefine organic labelling to include 38 synthetic substances, genetic engineering, irradiation and the use of toxic sewage sludge in farming! So far the outcry has thankfully prevented this but for how long?  

It all makes me want to run somewhere and drink nothing but distilled water and food I'd raise myself but that's not practical and there's really no where to run - even the people of the remote arctic are among the most contaminated people on Earth. We're doing a lot more damage to our world and ourselves than paving paradise and putting up parking lots *sigh*

Most ADD is actually caused by undiagnosed food alergies to sucrose or wheat. People feed their children way too much sugar drenched substances. Fast food is full of sugar and wheat biproducts this means a happy meal essencially is death to childrens brains. If people made meals at home not premade or prepackaged crap like hamburger helper or tv dinners but real food made by hand and eat lots of veggies not microwaved we would be healthier and our children would be less hyper.

Stopping the chemicals is a good idea but unless you became Amish and lived as the amish do you will be exposed to what ever the gov wants to throw at you. Hell just going out your door subjects you to gov subliminal testing with lighting, music in stores, signs and sign colors, and tons of other things we don't even know about yet.



I tend to stay away from those type of books since they are geared toward fear.

I would rather live my life free of fear than to read junk that will cause my health to decline just by reading the book. The authors think "they are informing for our health" but they are generating fear and the gov lets their book be published because its a subliminal test of fear by the population that reads it and spreads its knowlege around.

Fear makes you sick by: Ulcers, High blood pressure, Head aches, lowering the immune system, destroying the nervous system and reflexes, and causing undo high stress levels.

Put the book down forget you read it and eat anything you want. Don't drink bottled water from the store though its contaminated, the govment wants you to drink it because they make a 1.00 on 6oz of water that isn't even close to being pure, drink self filtered tap its healthier and cheaper.

I don't think even the Amish are free from exposure to synthetic compounds as some can travel in the air and othrs can be found in water sources whether above ground like rivers or below ground from aquifers.
As there is no escape I'm going to try to cut down as much as I can on processed foods and hope for the best *sigh*

I knew most of that Shak, but what can you do? ::shrugs::

Bastards! They're killing the Earth and our kids and grandkids and generations to come...ggrrrr

We're doomed and so is the Earth. :( Global warming'll wipe us out if everything else doesn't get us first. And on that cheery note... :D

PS: Re food...Atkins is the only way to go! Dr Atkins has been advising since 1992 for us not to eat processed food! Go him. RIP that man, an unrecognised hero.
