BAD WOLF User ID: 22161927 United States 12/12/2012 04:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ugh, why am I not surprised? There's a shit ton of stuff in food anymore that could potentionally harm us. It's horrifying to look at labels anymore to see what is exactly in the ingredients. Especially if they took the time to look up the chemicals and additives listed. "The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool"- Stephen King |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 29690594 Australia 12/12/2012 04:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | On December 7, 2012 Russia's Federal Agency for Agricultural Control, Rosselhohznadzor, banned the imports of meat containing ractopamine. This is a food additive that allows to reduce the content of fat in beef and pork. The drug is added to food so that animals grow the muscle mass instead of fat. According to researchers, ractopamine affects the human cardiovascular system, and in some cases can cause food poisoning. This drug is banned for use in 160 countries, including China and Russia. It is allowed in 24 countries, including Canada and the United States. Codex Alimentarius of the World Health Organization, adopted in July 2012 in Rome by representatives of 186 countries, allows the contents of ractopamine in meat.

USA food supply is uber contaminated. god bless capitalism. |

There are extremely few foods that are not poisoned here in the states. It's unbelievable how they got away with poisoning the whole food supply and at the same time got most of the population to be ok with it. “You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe.” John Adams, Second President of the United States |
