Food Inc. Reveals Corrupt FDA

Want to know more about what you’re eating? See the film "Food Inc." It’s no wonder we have more cancer than all the other industrialized nations combined. The food industry has been monopolized by a few major players and they only have one goal in mind: More profits — fast! They can grow a 5 pound chicken in 48 days. CORN is at the source of the problem in every form imaginable. High Fructose Corn Syrup isn’t the only ingredient that has been the source of obesity and type II diabetes. Every major product and fast food chain has been bought out to either play the game or get out of the business. Former FDA officials have admitted the corruption influencing all three branches of our government. The "Swine Flu" is just a part of the story. The Supreme Court has allowed that manufactured seeds could be patented and anybody not using them is a target and black-listed by the monopoly. They have even by-passed the eating and chewing to directly implant chemicals into the digestive system of cows. Chickens are handled bare-handed and infections transfer bacteria to the chickens and the waste is dumped into water and earth and leaked into our environment. E-Coli is showing up everywhere.
The producer is the same person who played the main character in "Super-Size Me." This documentary seems to have been limited to a few theaters. We saw it at the Eastern Hills theater - and took a count of the number of people in attendance: 17. Knowledge is power and the government, the pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, AMA and Food Manufacturers don’t want you to know the truth about what you’re eating.
Most of the ingredients at the root of our health problems are printed in the small-font information on the package where few consumers can read them. Most people simply look for the fats, sugar, sodium and never bother to study the ingredients. Their trust in our government and the food industry is unwarranted when you know the truth. It is why health care is three times as expensive in the United States than any other country in the world. Physicians are given perks to refrain from revealing the real truth behind your health problems. The power of money has done enormous harm to Americans. Those few who are true to natural methods of farming and raising cattle and poultry are sued out of existence with legal fees that go beyond what they can afford. If Congress is so set on "Caps" why don’t they stop this legal form of intimidation that puts small farmers out of business? MONEY AND MORE MONEY!
Congress has been corrupted with money, bought and paid for ~ until the voters themselves use their numbers, their votes, their letters and calls to stop this government from becoming another fascist attempt to destroy our democracy. Local farmers are the one way you can vote with your wallet to put an end to the contamination of our food supply. Americans will have to do what the "Founding Fathers" did: Stand up and confront your government to put a stop to the practices enforced by the Supreme Court of patenting and intimidating natural methods of farming and raising cattle and poultry.
Both parties have sold out to big money and no longer allow a choice that is not consistent with their source of big money~they kneel at the altar of the almighty dollar. You can make a difference by reading the ingredients on your food products and only buying from local farmers. Tomatoes have been changed so that they no longer change color and rot from the inside out. Mother nature didn’t make all tomatoes perfectly red. Eat frozen Wild Blueberries instead of canned. Yogurt was once considered a very healthy food, but the ingredients reveal that aspartame is used as a sugar substitute and sugar content can be as high as 40 grams in an 8 ounce container. Many of the ingredients are chemicals produced using corn. Corn is a starch responsible for the onset of obesity and type II diabetes in 1967. We now use more than a third of our farmland to produce one product. We spend 17% of our gross national product to treat the consequences of contaminated processed food.
Our founding fathers had everything to lose and nothing to gain and yet they fought for their belief and won their battle against the strongest military in the world at the time. We cannot defeat countries without governments and we cannot implant a democracy in the mid east or anywhere else~because we do not have one here. The time is near at hand when Americans will either stand up to their government or continue to be victimized by the same glutinous behavior that produced a Hitler and World War II.
We have four times the amount of Alzheimer's Disease as India and India has four times the population of the United States. We are at the crossroad of change for the better or we will suffer the consequences of the wealty and affluent eating the poor and dissolving the middle class. FOOD INC. IS REQUIRED VIEWING IF WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SUPERMARKETS AND FOOD MANUFACTURERS ARE DOING TO OUR FOOD SUPPLY!
