Be wary of food labeled “All Natural”

I’ve seen shoppers pick up junk food and go… “hmm… all natural…” and toss it into their buggy thinking they were getting something healthy.

This excellent article from News Target explains how the food corporations use misleading labeling to trick people into buying their toxic junk food.

Don’t be fooled by “all natural” claims on foods and grocery products

…the truth is that food manufacturers can use just about any ingredients or processes they want while still claiming their foods are all-natural. They can take whole wheat berries from nature, mill them down and strip out 98% of the nutrients, bleach the flour with chemicals, “enrich” the flour with synthetic chemical vitamins, and then claim their wheat is “all natural.”

And why is it natural? Because it comes from the earth, they would say. It was grown by nature.

Sure it was, but then it was physically and chemically modified, adulterated, contaminated and altered in ways that destroy its natural properties. The final product has no resemblance to anything truly natural.

…

Of course the corporations can get away with misleading the public because the government is bought and paid for, and firmly in their pocket.

 

Solutions to the broken food chain

I’ve been feeling kind of bad about upsetting some people with the last post. So consequently I’ve done some thinking about solutions to the situation, rather than dwelling upon the negatives. Lately I feel like I’m in the midst of learning something really big; and that is that we are all creating our own reality, good or bad… whether we know what we are doing, and how we are doing it yet or not.

I believe that by becoming masters of creating our own realities, we will be able to remedy our food situation along with all the other situations that have become so messed up in these very interesting times. Its just a matter of putting the pieces together and getting it to work the way we want.

 

Some thoughts about a broken food chain

What do Dole, Trader Joe’s and Earthbound Farms have in common?

There is an appearance here that what is supposed to be organic food is coming out of the same fields as the agri-factory-business food. Unfortunately, there is no agency to properly investigate something like this because they are all run by appointees from the very corporations they are supposed to be watching. In other words, the fox is guarding the hen house. The solution as always, is to use the corporate media to sensationalize the story and terrorize the public some more. In the process and likely an added bonus to Dole, many small farmers who are not associated with them will be put out of business. Dole of course will survive unscathed.
