What's On Our Food?

Scary. http://whatsonmyfood.org/ Charlie I'm a retired chemist and have been amazed by advances in chemical detectability levels over the years. Several years ago it was difficult to detect under a part per million easily observable materials such as arsenic but today they can detect parts per trillion of many things. Personally, I'm not afraid of a ppt of anything but there are those that gasp at the fact that something noxious is in their food. I had a Canadian official tell me once that he did not want a single molecule of any chlorinated organic compound in the water that he was drinking. It was not a time to educate him on Avagadro's number. I'm healthy and entering my seventh decade this year and as a chemist have been exposed to some of the most toxic substances known to man including what was said to be the most potent carcinogen. |

Eat a T-bone once in a while you anemic, depressing zealots. Get next to a bar of soap. Well, yes, that is your opinion, and your welcome to it. I might point out though, that organic doesn't mean vegetarian. Moreover, there is a qualitative difference between grass fed, and grain finished, not that some marketing whiz isn't trying to blur the lines, as with the new use of the word "natural" to imply "organic", which it isn't necessarily. Then there is Whole Foods which tries to be organic inside the old factory system of distribution. Or are you just saying that the people working in organic groceries look thin? Where did the soap thingy come from? You're really not very good at thinking are you? Many of us garden to have "organic" food. Our President's family just planted an "organic" garden. "When they are not protected by pesticides, crops produce their own chemical weapons. Some of these, various flavonoids, are antioxidants which may contribute to human health. Organic pears and peaches are richer in these compounds and organic tomatoes have more vitamin C and lycopene." - Dr. Schwarcz Maybe, you just need a better class of organic grocery store, maybe. -- - Billy Racial injustice, war, urban blight, and environmental rape have a common denominator in our exploitative economic system.* ~Channing E.

Get next to a bar of soap. you are confusing organic with vegan, i suppose. there may be a slight overlap, but most vegans i know eat prepared foods that aren't necessarily organic. i don't actually know many vegans that can cook from scratch (just like i don't know many people who aren't dependent on prepared foods now-a-days). i'm neither vegan or vegetarian, yet i grow, purchase & prepare mostly organic foods, including meats. oh, and there's also soap made from organic sourced ingredients... which is a bit of a long winded way to say "your ignorance is showing!" lee |

I m going to defend the original poster, too a limit. I have also felt the same way. Some of the unhealthiest people I have ever seen was at a health food store ( myself excluded . There are people that have better genetics than others. There are people that seem to consume nothing but junk food and thrive and look healthy as can be. Some people are more sensitive to certain foods than others. Wheat and gluten products causes gas and fatigue for me. I have tested negative for celiac (Endoscopy and Biopsy) and wheat allergies. However I still ovoid those food substances for their negative affects to me. The health food store has the rice and other flours that regular stores do not have. If you are healthy from the beginning. Why enter a health food store? If your unhealthy and traditional medicine has failed you, try alternative methods. The health food stores are best places to try something different. Unlike the original poster suggest, I am not a vegetarian. The health food store has products I have not yet learn to make myself. Like growing my own rice and corn for grinding my own flours. Someday I will give it a try. Where wheat products bother me. Other people might have bad reactions to meat products and a vegetarian diet might be best for them physically or mentally (death of animals bother them). I raise my own chickens (taste better). Again the organic heath food store is a good place to be for those who need alternatives. The organic health food store I go to, also sells grass fed only T-bone steaks as well as skin sensitive soaps. Enjoy Life ... Dan -- Garden in Zone 5 South East Michigan. |

Dan We are just arguing about adding to the pile of toxins that we eat. Say hello to Mr. Liver. He does our detoxing of our "natural" environment for us, but he is only human, and he can be overwhelmed. Others may defend homepathy, but it doesn't make sense to me (not a requirement for it to be true however). Ideally, by the time you finish shaking the water, there is only the memory of the mimicking substance left in the water. Chemotherapy isn't good for you. It's only saving grace is that it is even less good to quickly dividing cells. Food preservatives is to large a catagory. Salt, vinegar, oxalate, and SO2 aren't comparable.
