It truly can be depressing to observe and hear how trusting we are and how ignorant we have progressively grown about the corruption and deception within the walls of politics and the nasty food industry. Downright shame, how our thinking is anything but deep and careful. Consequently, we now are eating man-made crap we call food and bearing the terrible results in diseased minds and bodies. I don't eat out anymore and buy organic as much as possible - I have taken control of my health and I don't miss the chemical-tainted meats etc and I eat or drink only the things I can pronounce.

Thank you for contributing to this important subject matter. Consumerism is out of control and ridiculous. Millions of Americans close their eyes to the violence everywhere while they munch down on cheap hamburgers and buy a new pair of leather shoes right after. The key is to stop purchasing and start giving back in any way you can. First though is the wake up! "McDonald's clown, Ronald McDonald, tells children: Hamburgers grow in hamburger patches and love to be eaten. What he does not tell children: Hamburgers are ground up cooked cows who have had their throats slit by machetes or their brains bashed in with sledgehammers. The original actor to play Ronald McDonald, Jeff Juliano, is now a vegetarian. The occupation with the highest turnover rate in the U.S.: Slaughterhouse worker. Cost to render animals unconscious prior to slaughter with captive bolt pistol so that process is humane: $.01. Reason given by meat industry for not utilizing captive bolt pistol: too expensive. Gandhi said, " The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -Nature's First Law Really well written. Thank you for contributing to this important subject matter.

Thank you David! People like you will hopefully make the difference! We are so blinded by the food industry it is terrible. Cancer, obesity, disease of all kinds in adults and in children, why? Look at what is in your food, next time you pick up that package at the grocery store to read the nutrition information read the ingredients instead... I garuntee there will me a multitude of questions and concerns? We are barely eating food these days... from the way it is conceived to the processing and the preserving, we are not even eating "food" anymore! Buy smart! its worth it! best advice I have ever heard... if you can't find the ingredients in your kitchen its probably not something you should be eating!
