Organic Foods are getting more and more attention lately, especially from the rich people. People that have lots of children to feed do not get to buy this good food. I think the government should not allow this to go on. Everything we eat should be raised organic. Instead, they allow the farmers to spray poison on our food so the bugs won’t destroy it before they get it to market. It’s a tough choice we have to make every payday. We want our families to eat as healthy as possible but we cannot buy the right food for them if we are on a strict budget. I know it costs more to raise organic food, but don’t you think we are worth it? I think the people of America deserve the best there is, and if other countries are buying from us they do too. Unfortunately the government doesn’t feel this way.
The farmers can only do as much as they can afford to do. The government needs to be helping these farmers out so they can feed us better. Everyone depends on the farmers to give us good quality food so we can stay healthy. Dangerous chemicals are giving us diseases every day. The doctors tell us to eat this and that to keep down diseases but everything we eat seems to harm us because of how they were raised.
Hormones and additives are being added to the food we buy at the grocery stores and cook for our families. Steroids are not allowed in Europe but they are allowed here in the USA. What does this tell you? I am 100% against the government killing us off one by one including our small children. Babies and young children are at the highest risk of dying at a young age. Their immune systems are so fragile. You can just listen on television or read the paper. Children have gotten more cancer in the last few years than ever before. It’s like an epidemic going around. Their small bodies just cannot fight off the diseases as long as ours can. Obama is always saying we need a change, when is it coming when it effects our health and the way we eat? I honestly don’t think he has a clue about what is going on. I for one want my voice heard.
Ochratoxin A – Produces mold in our food
Lead –Absorbed by crops
Aflatoxins – Produces mold which leads to liver damage and cancer
Bisphenol A – Gets into our bottle tops and inside tin cans.
We know all of this but they still don’t prepare our food any different. This one still shocks me. Aluminum from our pots and pans is linked to Alzheimer’s disease and they still make them the same way and sell them to the customers every day. The company knows this but doesn’t care, just so they can get that extra buck. I bet their own families don’t buy them. Only the one’s that can’t afford the better ones or the ones that just don’t know about it. It should be printed on every box. I bet that would slow down their sales some.
I know everyone knows the farmers are putting steroids in our chickens to make them produce faster. Who really wants to buy these eggs? The steroids are getting into our systems also. I think this could be one of the reasons the young girls are developing so much faster these days than ever before. I have a 12 year granddaughter and she looks 18, doesn’t this seem strange to you? I like to go to the flea market and buy my eggs from a local farmer. He even sells the chickens if you want them. This would be very good if you happen to have a farm.
Our cows also are being shot up making them produce more milk faster. Our young children need milk to help them develop right, they should stop this before it gets out of control, if it’s not out of control already and we don’t know it. I know some people that are even buying their milk cows so they can have healthy milk. Are we being made to go back to where it all began just so we can be healthy? We are not looking for bad things to happen, we just accept it as the way things are. I’m sure someone out there is fighting all this but I hope it won’t be to late before they get someone’s attention.
I have been hearing lately about plastic containers being so bad for us. Why are they still making them and selling them to us? Even the plastic bottles we drink our water from, the word is out that the plastic is leaking into the water we drink, but you don’t see any changes being made. Our government is really slacking when it comes to our health. I think everything that I have mentioned should be banned from selling them to us until they are made without any health risk.
One way I can think of to help ourselves is to grow our own gardens for one thing. This way we choose what to put on them during the growing season. We can then have a choice. We can then have the healthier food we want for our families. If you know a farmer that grows and sells to the public, you can buy fresher food from him. You can also ask him what sprays he put on his crops. Buy local as much as possible because they do a lot of things to the food before it ever gets to the grocery stores.
Watch out for expiration dates on all the food that you purchase. Some stores will even put out of date items out front half price just to get the attention of the buyers. If this happens to be meat you could end up with food poison.
I have listed just a few things I feel need to get the attention of our government. Only through them can we get the financial help that is needed to make all of this possible. It is our lives I am talking about. One voice unheard until now.
