Good day,
Just couldn't resist commenting on our food system!
I'm wondering when our Health depts and Food and safety
Administration is going to start ensuring that prior to manufacture a
product must be deemed healthy, wholesome, and safe to eat.
Have you noticed how food companies continue to add chemicals, and
products to our food that are cheap, but not healthy. Sodium content
is far too high, and high fructose corn syrup is very unhealthy too.
Salt solutions are added to meat, and can increase weight by 10%.
That means you are paying for the salt and water at the price of the
meat.
Companies also play games with package sizes -often reducing content
10-15% and keeping price the same. And a half gallon of ice cream is
fast disappearing. The new size is 25% less but price is about same
except for Breyers.
And the phosphoric acids in sodas can also pose health problems. I
could go on and on.
Companies are serving us genetically modified products, and are not
even telling us so we can make choices!
The other day I saw something that said that microwaving vegetables
causes them to lose much of their nutrients. Don't know if this is
true or NOT , but I'd certainly like to know if it is so or not.
And many are adding chemically formulated sugar substitutes like
sucralose too keep calories low.
I avoid all forms of sugar substitutes, diet drinks etc. like the
plague.
Anyone else feel this way. Frank
