No one likes to think about what goes into fast food. But fatty fries and potentially carcinogenic ingredients are only half the story. A second important threat to public health lurks just beyond the fryer -- the enormous amounts of antibiotics used to make the burgers, bacon and nuggets.

About 13 million pounds a year are fed to chickens, cows and pigs to make them grow faster or to compensate for unsanitary conditions. That's about four times the amount used to treat sick people.

Here is the rest of the article:

How about strawberries ....................................

A strawberry can be given a flounder gene that makes it frost resistant, a bacterial gene that confers antibiotic resistance, and a virus gene that "turns on" the other added genes.
Under normal circumstances, a strawberry can only acquire genetic material from other strawberries--that is, plants of the same or closely related species.

With genetic engineering, however, scientists can give strawberries genetic material from trees, bacteria, fish, pigs, even humans if they chose to.

And...........how about some milk!!!

Each sip of milk provides you with the following:
Growth hormones, fat, cholesterol, allergenic proteins, blood, pus, antibiotics, bacteria, virus and more!

I dont get it!!!

If all this info is true???

What do the ''families' of those people eat and drink???

It makes no sense .......If all that is true....and i dont have 'doubts' then the healthy alternative foods''non genetic modified' are probably just as bad.......

1/// the ground which is used to grow the ''seeds'' is probably contaminated...........if not , then the seeds of the ''genetically modified seeds'' is blown in the wind and you have a mix of both!!!
2/// not sure, but the organic seeds have to be certified to be called ''organic non genetic modified''.......Who owns the company of the non genetic modified foods'' and are they to be trusted???
3///Who runs the world orginization for ''food control''???

Sounds to me like ''New World Order'' .................

(or my fiance' does) Fast food is a last resort, and on average, I try to limit it to at most once a week.

I'm not here long enough to worry about every little thing they put in food, but since we're on a no sugar, high protein, low carb diet...it kind of limits what we eat anyways...(she had gastric bypass surgery)

I too do all the cooking (my wife, god bless her, can't boil water), fast food is indeed a last resort. Since she got pregnant we have even started buying most of our fruits and veggies organic rather than conventional. Also all of our dairy is organic, you would be shocked at how much better organic milk tastes versus the store brand most of us buy. Organic milk even lasts longer than regular, I bought a half gallon the other day and the expiration date is not until May 29th! We hardly ever eat meat anymore (since she got pregnent the thought of eating meat makes her sick
) but when we do it is always antibiotic/hormone free and free range, again, it tastes better. And all our eggs are the same, cage free no antibiotics of hormones.

Hell, we have even switched to organic, vegetable and vinegar based cleaners.
I have to say that though it costs a little more, I feel it is worth it in the long run, if only for flavors sake.

BTW Gaz, I hope your fiance is doing well.

Well u can ask anyone also, here, for example, i feel the difference between vegetables in spain, and the genetic vegetables in holland, anyway both are contaminated, i know just the chemtrails is contamination to water, air, ground, plants animals etc etc, but still the difference in taste is HUGE!, u can feel as well that chicken now is like eat plastic, it doesn�t have a taste anymore...
We are loosing all the natural resources of the earth...
All beacuse of them!

As for your 3rd question�(not for food but for seeds of everything), MONTARO is i think the biggest company related with Seeds, genetic manipulation and so on...

Olives are a good food to eat..........
The Leaves of the olive tree is known to fight bacterial germs that 'antibiotics' wont fix....boiling the leaves of the olive tree and using it as a 'disinfectant ' is known to kill germs........use as a spray.........any where.....

Also cleaning products are best avoided(as observer stated )Vinegar and 'carbonated soda.....is used together to make a good foaming cleanser, or ''carbonated soda on its own ,sprinkled on carpet for stains,let it stay awhile and then vacumm off or brush .............on carpet,floors, kitchen benches,practically any place.........and you dont worry about the kids getting ''poisenned'''

Toothpaste........same ..carbonated soda..gargle with salt...rock salt crushed fine.....i noticed that packaged salt foams in cooking(never did that before..)
Also ''sage'' use fresh leaves and boil......good for those that get ''mouth ulcers''....Peppermint tea......drink it or make it strong for garggle.....

Observer(for the future) ........For baby rash.......use 'corn flour' or Organic yoghurt''''........it works......
(and boiling milk in the microwave is bad...something about the milk molecule structure .....not sure )

True........using 'organic' food is better then the ready packaged stuff ........or the supermarket shelves.......

Unless you grow it yourself you cannot be certain .........
But ..........i agree with the taste.........it does taste better.........There's also the ''fluoride'' and who knows what else in our water.........washing your food eg.. fruit vegies etc......
I wonder about the '''dont peel your fruit ''theory???
I always remember my mum pealing the fruit and vegies......

But being concerned with vitamins''supposedly'' being on the peel , i always washed and used the peel and all......

And not only ''concern'' for food ....but there's the shampoos,soaps,perfume, make up , hair dyes and so on........so basically it is everything that is day to day living.........

Gazroc.........
nearly got your name mixed up with gastric.....
gastric bypass is (something with your intestines?)......i ask coz my brother suffers similar.....diverticulitis.....intestinal(and he's only 33)

is what Carnie Wilson had done...to lose weight. They remove part of your intestine, and form a small pouch out of your stomach, so you're left with a tiny stomach. Sugars have an adverse effect on the intestine after this for most people.

It is a life-altering surgery. I used to think it was a fad until I researched it (since Jan of last year). She had the operation in Oct., and has since lost 108 lbs!
Numerous other health problems have disappeared due to the surgery (high blood pressure, sleep apnia, hip and leg pain, etc.), and she's feeling great. In fact, we're going to Islands of Adventure/Universal this weekend, and she'll be able to sit in a "normal" seat on the roller coaster!
She is needless to say, ecstatic.

Its not necessarily only fast food that contains all of these chemicals, hormones, etc. It is in the food that you cook at home too, unless you buy organic foods. The hormones in milk are blamed for the early maturation (is that a word??) of kids these days too. The ones that are wanting babies at 11 and such hah. So they do have visible effects.

One of my moms friends had that done, but she still had a problem with eating too much. Once she watched us for about a week when my mom was gone somewhere and man did she eat. She ate all of the #ing good halloween candy too ,I was pissed. And because she ate nothing but sugar, she was constantly in the bathroom, if you know what I mean, and it was not pretty. I will quit talking smack now. She was kind of nice..

Helen, for the daily use stuff, I have switched to Tea Tree Oil bathsoap and shampoo (thanks my Aussie friends
) and natural deodorant. Can't get the wife to switch to Tom's of Maine toothpaste (a US co, that is all natural) but have been trying, she hates the taste.. actually I'm not a big fan either as it tastes like dirt. I only use Kosher salt in my cooking, it has a milder flavor, you don't need as much and it doesn't foam in boiling water.
Thanks for the baby tips. I had heard of the corn starch useage but never the yogurt.

Indeed it is.

Yeah organic, or as they all iut in holland, biological food is MUCH better. I'm not a vegetarian, but I'd say vegetarians live a much healther life that we (I) do.

I quit drinking coca cola about two weeks ago. Now I know how hard it is for smokers to stop. Cola is SO addictive (or it's just me
)

About the milk, observer. That's probably pasterised (spell) milk, which is indeed a lot longer drinkable.


mirrorsparadise, is right, not just McDonalds, burger king and KFC is chemical food, stuff you buy in any 7/11 is filled with chemicals. They all contain "modified" flower.

And like cold anger said, most vegetables and fruits are losing their origional taste. Ask any person over 50, they'll all tell you the same.

I try to avoid as much chemical food, and I hate McDonalds, the burgers taste like cotton board over there

I do drink a lot of milk, there was a discussion about milk a few weeks ago...

The only problem is that organic food is SO much more expansive than "normal" food
