Hi Friends,
I was watching a program on Channel News Asia called "Food Inc" (Part 1) last Sunday. Looks like we not only need to be careful about the food from China. The food from the US and other countries are equally bad. From the chickens that they breed to the eggs they produce, to the beef rear, all seems to have something that can cause damage to our health one way or another. To speed up growth of chicken, they are force-fed and injected with chemicals and this shortens the time taken for the chickens to grow to their full size. In the process, they become weak and sickly because they growth process has been tempered with. To cure meat of bacteria such as "ecoli", the meat is treated with ammonia which is used in household cleaning items. Ammonia is dangerous and is harmful to the body. Fast food chains use the meat and other products that are produced in this manner. In fact they are the biggest users of these chemically induced produce. The show highlighted cows that were in almost knee deep "cow dung" and hence become potential carriers of "ecoli" bacteria and the bacteria is passed passed on in slaughter houses into the meat. A young boy who was healthy suddenly died within 12 days after ingesting bacteria from infected food.
From being a hunter, man has become domesticated and dependant on food from fast food chains and quick-fix meals that is harmful to the body. From a lean-mean fighting machine, man has become bigger and lazier. This plus eating all this harmful food is the reason why more people are dying of heart attack, cancer and kidney failure and other diseases. It is also because of these chemically induced food that human race is facing such perilous disease with increased numbers dying from it.
What are we going to do about it? Are we going to let the big corporations ruin our lives as well as those of our loved ones for big fat profit? Don't they have a conscience? They don't care! They want to make as much money as possible just like the banks did that caused the recent financial meltdown. In the show, they were asking, how is it possible for a burger to be cheaper than the vegetable you buy from the supermarkets? The answer is because the growers use a lot of substitutes such as corn syrup to replace or supplement the actual food you consume. These foods have high levels of empty calories. That is why it is so unhealthy and that is why you put on weight so fast. Now you know where you got all that excess baggage. Hit the gym but before that watch what you eat. Just a friendly advise.
All this makes me want to become a vegetarian. But even the vegetables are not spared of chemicals. I think I will move to Australia and start my own farm and grow my own organic food. Anyone care to join me?
Cheers Mate!
Regards,
Mark

All I can say as technology and living standard improving, our health organism getting weaker as compared in the past. Thanks to the 'chemical' we are eating everyday.
