But that's my point....sometimes people just don't have a choice other than buying the cheapest food they can find. Have you tried grow your own? I'm making a little start with my herb garden. My soil, climate, lack of time and dog won't allow for much more at the moment. I will expand gradually. I really would love to move to the country and grow my own food, but it's just not practical, or even possible. But you can watch what you eat. A little change here, a little change there. You could also have a look at http://www.safetyalerts.com/ http://www.foodsafety.gov/ For an insight into food safety throughout the world. Very good. Thanks for the links :-) Yeah I know, what I am getting at is the need to ask questions, find out what's going on, why we do this and that. Be aware! Good common sense. But "you" are not the problem, it's all the other dirty buggers one comes into contact with, what have they been up to? ROTFL :-))) I just don't think about it. Haha but if it's happening, how can you not think about it? There was a survey done a while back on little snacks left out on the bar of the local pub, you know nuts, crisps etc for a nibble, these were tested and all sorts of filth was found on it, including faeces!! I know it's gross, but I just don't worry about it. You should. Needless to say I never touch bar snacks any more. LOL :-)) It's also a fact many people do not wash their hands after going to the loo, fine for them, what about us when we shake their hands.. yuk. That's my point. It's just gross in today's society, but it's just the thought of it, not the usefulness of it that motivates most people to do it. But knowing about the gross, ensures I wash my own hands regularly. I don't know. Have you taken a look at the gross portions served up in the USA, how big the world is getting? Are we eating more, or are we being force fed? People want more for their money. We (the US) are a gluttonous, lazy, spoiled society, no doubt, You're not alone. but that's not because the government, as some evil separate entity, is forcing it on us. No, it the businesses that are doing it. Which is also OK, but we are big and ugly enough to know when enough is enough and should act on it. We just are because it's human nature to take the easy way out and take all one can get when the gettin's good. But we don't need to, it's damaging to ourselves, it's damaging to global resources. Why grow/raise two of everything, when we only really need one? Next time you feel like making a pig of yourself, cast an eye to the famine zones of the world, think what they would do for just a bowl of rice, let alone a 4lb steak with all the trimmings, fit for five people but served only for one! Absolutely, and our immune systems and future generations will suffer for it. No doubt about it. It all comes down to the fact, if we can make a change for the better, at little real cost to ourselves, why not the hell go for it? So it seems, but you have just thwarted your own argument about how what you do today will effect your future health. Sure, the chemicals we ingest with our food may cause problems down the road, but compromising the immune systems of our species is going to cause greater problems down the road, I think. Greater or lesser, they are still problems brought on by our own neglect for ourselves. Care about ourselves and then we can care about each other. -- So, you dont like reasoned, well thought out, civil debate?
