I had to pop on here very quickly to share a link to an article from a friend. My motivation behind it is predominantly anger, because of the relationship between the FDA and the big pharmacy industry. Since "big pharma" funds the FDA millions of dollars a year to keep them afloat (I've read figures at a minimum of 300 million), it's no wonder our food industry is so messed up, and consequently our health as Americans. After all, if the FDA can put "heart healthy" on a box of 100-calorie Oreos, then after years and years of our eating all those partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup, we'll definitely be needing some medicines.
OR, we could opt for eating raw, natural foods, and be healthier for it. But that's too difficult, isn't it?
Anyway, the link. http://www.foodrenegade.com/did-know-walnuts-illegal-drugs/
Please take the time to read it, if nothing else than to just be more educated. I'm not asking everyone to immediately stop shopping where they're shopping (even though that'd be great!), I at least want everyone to be more aware. Maybe in the long run that awareness will lead to action.
Buy local foods, support local farms, grow your own garden, and don't just accept what you hear from the FDA as true. Contrary to popular belief, they're not out to protect us.
