Our Food Supply Is A Hazard To Your Health

The FDA Maintains That No Labeling Or Disclosure Requirements Are Necessary To Protect Public Health

As the old saying goes, “you are what you eat,” and now more than ever this is worth paying serious attention to! The future of our food supply looks pretty bleak from where I am sitting.

Fast forward to a menu that may include cloned meat, irradiated food with a pinch of formaldehyde and a cocktail of chemicals in your fruits and vegetables. Its’ worth noting that the levels of hormone-disrupting environmental toxins in the food chain has increased. These deleterious toxins commonly known as PCB’s have demonstrated the ability to disrupt the endocrine system and can wreak havoc throughout entire body. And finally, let’s not forget about imported food, the FDA does not have time to regularly monitor.

Most of us are greatly undernourished and this can lead to anyone one of the following conditions; arthritis, asthma, constipation, chronic fatigue syndrome, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine headaches, psoriasis and the list goes on.

To protect yourself and your family, it’s important to read labels and become more informed as to how your food is cultivated and where it originates. When buying certified organic always look for the USDA Organic label. Buy locally, this will not only support local farmers but you know the environment in which your food is grown. Also consider, making your own garden or if you are limited on space container gardening is a great option.


Did you know that many countries will not accept US food for import?
