Re: Organic vs GMO

Is it not a case of buyer beware? I always check the labels and I don't eat packaged junk food like Doritos. My only weakness is ice cream and doughnuts. Recently I've been using yogurt with fruits and honey to replace ice cream. And I've cut out doughnuts.

Yes, it is.
But here in the Netherlands where I live it is not easy to fill the shopping cart with only healthy food and drinks.
Aspartame, E621 and a lot of other bad stuff can be found in almost every product!
If I was a real health freak I would end up with nothing in my cart.

by the way, what is GMO? Genetically Modified Orsomething?

I don't doubt this at all. We have no idea what shitty shit we are eating here. And I am sure it is making us not only fat (think allergies) but absolutely SICK.

yes it's genetically modified organism...with being in the Netherlands under the EU don't you have your products labeled?? My friend in Germany tells me yes everything is labeled!

I found it very easy to purchase healthy good quaility local products at the local town markets?? Do u live in a small town?

also seen a label in Europe on JELL-O that say this product causes hyperactivity and may have adverse effect on attention in children

Unfortunately most of us, myself included, don't have any form of comparison since we were born and bred in this kinda environment. I might have the barest idea of what good produce is like since I grew up in the 70s but I was too young to know anything. My girlfriend grew up on a farm in Russa and she is very aware of how bad the produce in the US taste. She is on a raw diet as well which makes her even more sensitive to tastes and what she puts in her body.

I'm a meat eater but even shopping at Whole Foods, seeing chicken breasts packed up on display is a turn-off, there is something so clinical and unnatural about it.

I don't doubt this at all. We have no idea what shitty shit we are eating here. And I am sure it is making us not only fat (think allergies) but absolutely SICK.

These days whenever I hear of somebody passing away it's almost always due to cancer. I'm beginning to think it is a byproduct of our environment and food.

An extreme example, my friend's uncle lived in Shanghai for almost ten years. Out of the blue he finds out he is already at third stage cancer. He is a smoker and thought that was the cause, but the doctors explained in his case it was due to environment factors.

And on a sidenote, the doctors in Shanghai didn't even detect anything wrong, he only found out via another check up in Singapore.

"absolutely SICK."

at many levels, is what involves for sure florida,


is super sad, It is really very worrying, there is a sinister project behind and most people are not aware of this


one of the biggest humans tumors like Monsanto managed to patent seeds !!!, you understand what that means ?'!!, ..... It is an important filthy disease,


I don´t know I can´t write more because This really concerns me and nowhere in the world we are free from this, because governments are mere employees of large corporations, and large corporations .. well they are totally sick, in some totally sick gollum ways

The products are indeed almost always labeled but unfortunately the manufacturers are not legally required to mention E-numbers on the labels. So, if (for example) E621 is not on the label, I'll have to check for: smaakversterker, mononatriumglutamaat, monosodiumglutamaat, Ve-Tsin, gehydroliseerde eiwitten, calcium caseinaat, gistextract, natuurlijke aroma's, natuurlijke smaakstoffen... The manufacturers are allowed to use so many different words for one and the same E-number, it makes shopping in the supermarket a very unpleasant and time-consuming activity.

I think there's a lot of dye in those JELL-O products, I would never buy it. Not surprised it's bad for children.

I do have markets in the town where I live, and I'm planning to go there more often to buy fresh food. Thanks for mentioning.

Realising how lucky I am to live in Australia. It's easy to get good food.

Re: Organic vs GMO

I don't necessarily believe everything this lady says, but her blog is pretty interesting, nonetheless... and I do think she means well. She has forced the hand of some major food chains to change their ingredients from shite to less shite.

They own so many beer brands, im sure some of them do use real hops. maybe not budweiser and michelob is what you meant. Anheuser-Busch is ginormous.
