IsraelWins User ID: 78063703 01/24/2021 07:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's to make men more effeminate and compliant. The food has been loaded with high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and all kinds of other substances to lower testosterone, and promote estrogen. Been going on since the late 60s, early 70s. If one's estrogen is higher, and testosterone lower, then one is more compliant, and less apt to fight. In females, it brings on the early onset of puberty. An example would be a 13 year old who looks like she's 24. This is from an overabundance of estrogen. The bottom line is these substances increase shelf life, and therefore profits. |

Quoting: Workout Dude We have enough govt involvement in our daily lives, people have to use a little self-responsibility. Restaurants aren't the problem that grocery stores are. Look in carts - soda, chips, cookies, Hamburger Helper, frozen pizza, bread... And look what govt (in the form of Michelle Obama) did to our school meals programs. She decided that kids need healthy food, and now vending machines only have diet soda, baked chips, Rice Krispie Treats and Pop Tarts. The meals are so low-cost that they are crap (like pizza every day with a second line that serves a rotation of dry processed chicken sandwiches, nachos, tacos, corn dogs, spaghetti, along with mushy canned veggies and a piece of fruit). Not only is it crap, but it's not very tasty, and so the kids live off the chips and soda in the vending machines. These kids - and I'm talking the brokest of the broke, are still finding $3-$4 per day to spend in the vending machines on extra hot Cheetos and Takis. |

Quoting: Workout Dude It goes back to the wheat, the germ and the chaff. When originally processed and sold, the chaff was separated from the wheat and germ. Then they figured out if they separated the germ from the wheat, they could sell TWO products and also increase the shelf life of both products. From there it was an avalanche of finding creative (synthetic) poisons to add to the food to make the shelf life longer. Normal food molds. Try leaving some fries from the fast food places in a jar, and then see how fast they break down. I saw a video where there was no change after a ... year. Yum. Food that doesn't break down. No different than eating flavored styrofoam. It also goes back to the patent system. They cannot patent nature. But they can patent nature + their chemicals to create their own "formula" which they are able to dramatically increase the price. They also realize that the sicker they keep the majority of the population, the more $ they make across the board. All of the big companies are invested in each other. Lastly, when the US Gov gives aids to other countries, one stipulation is that they must buy GMO seed from the US Agro giants. No toxic seed; no "aid". {The aid is a in the form of a high interest loan.} GMO food sterilizes rats by the 3rd generation and there are pictures on Natural News about what GMO does to a pig's stomach. |

What is the cost of "healthy" food? Healthy food can be culturally biased for example, kosher food. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74808725 The healthiest food is that which is produced organically in good soil using the best kind of seed and is eaten as fast as possible once harvested. So, there is a wide array of so called "organic" food and obviously, not all are the same. Most organic food is expensive but you get what you pay for. Even more, they changed the definition of organic. Organic no longer means 100% organic. It now means 95% organic and many companies are using this to their advantage slipping in something you don't want. "Organic natural flavors" is the phrase I've been seeing a lot. Kosher originally meant the way an animal was slaughtered. Now, it is simply a tax paid to the Rabbis to bless your food, which anybody can do. The Muslims have Halal which is similar to the Kosher killing while the US and Brits use shock prongs to kill the animals. The reason for Kosher and Halal is that supposedly, by killing the animal quickly, you are not allowing the adrenaline of fear to affect the meat and also prevent toxic substances from going into the meat. None of the killing methods employed reduces the fear from infecting every molecule of meat and you literally eat the fear. |
