Babies, I hope I don't eat them.

Ok, my name is Corwin. I am odd I know and if you read this blog you have to know that its going to be odd too. I was going to just do a general intro and all but I have decided to actually hit onto a topic so prepare for a long rant.

I would like for anyone passing by this blog to know, I don’t eat babies. At least I hope not.

If you happen by here (http://www.naturalnews.com/021929.html) then who knows though, and they might even cause cancer. Below are some quotes that make me wonder just how much money the legal system and the FDA in our country get as a payoff from food companies.

“One of the most common tricks is to distribute sugars among many ingredients so that sugars don't appear in the top three. For example, a manufacturer may use a combination of sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, corn syrup solids, brown sugar, dextrose and other sugar ingredients to make sure none of them are present in large enough quantities to attain a top position on the ingredients list (remember, the ingredients are listed in order of their proportion in the food, with the most common ingredients listed first).”

And they wonder how we Americans manage to get fatter. That aside what happens to someone that has Diabetes and goes into Diabetic shock because a snack company wanted to make some extra money with this false advertising. Companies should not be able to pull this kind of trick. I am sure a lot of people the suffer from Diabetes know to look it over but if just one person was to have complications due to this practice then that is too many. We shouldn’t have to spend 30 minutes examining a products package to figure out how exactly the company is screwing us. Companies should be nice enough to tell us how they are doing it right up front. The mass majority of people aren’t going to look anyways and they won’t loose that much money.

“A third trick involves hiding dangerous ingredients behind innocent-sounding names that fool consumers into thinking they're safe. The highly carcinogenic ingredient sodium nitrite, for example, sounds perfectly innocent, but it is well documented to cause brain tumors, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and many other cancers (just search Google Scholar for sodium nitrite to see a long list of supporting research, or click here to read NaturalNews articles on sodium nitrite).”

Ok so if all my fishing equipment has messages on them saying “This item contains chemicals known to cause cancer” Why the hell does food get away with not having it? I mean I am still more then likely going to eat it but I would at least like to know I have the chance. Yes I understand anything in large enough quantities is going to be bad for me but given a choice between 2 different bags of chips I really would rather take the one with a 1% less chance of causing cancer wouldn’t you? I know they have to do some testing on some level, how can they get away with this?! So if a companies does not put a label stating that onto it and I get cancer can I sue? Nope cause how am I going to know which product it was? So yay I get cancer and have to mortgage my house to pay for treatment. I really don’t like cake enough for that to be worth it.

“There is no requirement for food ingredients lists to include the names of chemical contaminants, heavy metals, bisphenol-A, PCBs, perchlorate or other toxic substances found in the food. As a result, ingredients lists don't really list what's actually in the food, they only list what the manufacturer wants you to believe is in the food.”

“Food companies have also figured out how to manipulate the serving size of foods in order to make it appear that their products are devoid of harmful ingredients like trans fatty acids. The FDA, you see, created a loophole for reporting trans fatty acids on the label: Any food containing 0.5 grams or less of trans fatty acids per serving is allowed to claim ZERO trans fats on the label. That's FDA logic for you, where 0.5 = 0. But fuzzy math isn't the only game played by the FDA to protect the commercial interests of the industry is claims to regulate.”

Yea I have seen some very amusing serving sizes. I have a pack of 6 crackers that is 3 servings…. I however did not know I was eating all sorts of other goodies. How can this be allowed? I would hope they know what’s going into it. So how can they not put that in the label and to hell with people that argue small quantities! I eat roughly 3 times a day so I am at something like 29,017.5 meals or so. Not even adding in snacks and such. I think even in small amounts some of those chemicals could kill me by now with as much that’s potentially in my system.

I know that this is not the only source of the problem but this inset helping. Potently you have health food out there that is almost as bad as eating a burger from a burger joint. That’s insane. I know that obesity is not just cause by this however this obviously will have an effect. That health bar mom gives her kid having as much sugar as that bowl of sugar coated chocolate breakfast puffs is not doing any good. Money wins out thought so I doubt it will change. Hopefully anyone reading this or http://www.naturalnews.com/021929.html where this info came from might think to look at there nutritional info a bit more closely in the future.

So without taking a huge amount of work to figure out what is really in every thing I buy I guess I really could be eating babies right now. One more thing I have learned about myself today.
