A Quote From the Book, ‘Fast Food Nation’

Kids, there are companies that have conspired to control your eating habits even before you were born. They have NEVER had your best interests at heart. There is a epidemic of Diabetes in America. It took off thirty to forty years ago when fast food outlets started to replace our old fashioned home cooked meals. At that time, we young adults thought how wonderful, we can get food real quick, don’t  have to get out the car and it’s cheap! Well that’s when the diabetes epidemic began, back in the 1960′s. This is before you were born.  The food industry has has caused a undeniable change in eating habits in America. People are getting sick.  Young children and young adults are getting type 2 Diabetes.  Before the 1960′s type 2 Diabetes was over 95% diagnosed in men and women over the age of 60. Today it’s being diagnosed in children as young as two or three years old. Our fast food corporations are exporting our way of eating to other countries. The writing is on the wall. Their people are now beginning to suffer the same diet driven illnesses that are epidemic in America. 

I give a quote from the book ‘Fast Food Nation” written by Eric Schlosser and first published in 2001. The quote begans, “As in the United States, the fast food companies have targeted their foreign advertising and promotion at a group of consumers with the fewest attachments to tradition: young children. “Kids are the same regarding the issues that effect the all-important stages of their development,” a top executive at the Gepetto Group told the audience at a recent KidPower conference, “and they apply to any kid in Berlin, Beijing, or Brooklyn.” The KidPower conference, attended by marketing executives from Burger King and Nickelodeon, among others, was held at Disneyland outside of Paris.  In Australia, where the number of fast food restaurants roughly tripled during the 1990s, a survey found that half of the nation’s nine- and ten-year olds thought that Ronald McDonald knew what kids should eat. At a primary school in Beijing, Yunxiang found that all of the children recognized the image of Ronald McDonald. The children told Yan they liked “Uncle McDonald” because he was “funny, gentile, kind, and … he understood children’s hearts.” Coca-Cola is now the favorite drink among Chinese children, and McDonald’s serves their favorite food. Simply eating at a McDonald’s in Beijing seems to elevate a person’s social status. The idea that you you are what you eat has been enthusiatically promoted by Don Fujita, the eccentric billionaire who brought McDonald’s to Japan three decades ago.  “If we eat McDonald’s hamburgers and potatoes for a thousand years,” Fugita once promised his countrymen,  “we will become taller, our skin will become white, and our hair will be blonde.”

You young people must understand what you are dealing with. This food industry is about corporate profits. Most of the ads on TV is not about you. Its about the dollars in your household. Our American way of eating has caused a epidemic of Diabetes in America.  Young people today face a nightmare of health problems if no cure shows up. The medical community is working full speed to find a cure.  The food industry in this country gives you the illusion that it is being monitored. It is not. Your illness is not the fault of something you did. Your parents, your grandparents, aunts and uncles, and even your baby sitters have all been duped. I used to take both my daughters to McDonald’s. I felt great! We would eat the food and take home the free toys and everybody was happy! We didn’t know.  These companies are powerful enough to change the way a whole country consumes food. 

You must decide what is best for you and your health. Your parent are not always aware of what they put on the table. They love you and want you to have a good future. If they take you to McDonald’s or Burger King, or any of the other fast food chains on a regular basis, beware. You could be on the road to type 2 Diabetes.  If your parent or guardian is not aware of the dangers of a fast food diet, YOU must tell them.  It’s your life.

Young People and Fear of Diabetes

Hi,

I’m FoodSpook and I’m not your parent.  However I am a parent and a grandparent.  I’ve been here awhile. If you are scared you may have Diabetes or that you may be pre-Diabetic, listen to your instincts.   They may be right.  You have nothing to lose by going to your doctor, clinic or county hospital.  You know if your body is not acting right.  Even though you are young,  you must believe that your decisions  today have impact on the way you will live the rest of your life.  The very worst scenario is to do nothing.  Diabetes is treatable.  Yes, your life will change,  but it can be close to the way you used to live before.  To ignore your possible symtoms could be very dangerous to your life. 

Please feel free to leave a comment or give me your opinion about my post.

Home : Diabetes A-Z List of Topics and Titles : Prevent Diabetes Problems Series : Prevent Diabetes Problems: Keep Your Nervous System Healthy Prevent diabetes problems: Keep your nervous system healthy On this page: What are diabetes problems? What should I do each day to stay healthy with diabetes? What can I do to prevent diabetes from damaging my nervous system? What can I do to take care of my feet? What does my nervous system do? How can diabetes hurt my nervous system? How can diabetes damage to the peripheral nerves affect me? How can diabetes damage to the autonomic nerves affect me? How can diabetes damage to the cranial nerves affect me? How do I know if I have nerve damage? Pronunciation Guide For More Information More in the Series Acknowledgments What are diabetes problems? Too much glucose in the blood for a long time can cause diabetes problems. This high blood glucose, also called blood sugar, can damage many parts of the body, such as the heart, blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys. Heart and blood vessel disease can lead to heart attacks and strokes. You can do a lot to prevent or slow down diabetes problems. High blood glucose can cause nerve problems. This publication is about nerve problems that can be caused by diabetes. You will learn the things you can do each day and during each year to stay healthy and prevent diabetes problems. [Top] What should I do each day to stay healthy with diabetes? Follow the healthy eating plan that you and your doctor or dietitian have worked out. Be active a total of 30 minutes most days. Ask your doctor what activities are best for you. Take your medicines as directed. Check your blood glucose every day. Each time you check your blood glucose, write the number in your record book. Check your feet every day for cuts, blisters, sores, swelling, redness, or sore toenails. Brush and floss your teeth every day. Control your blood pressure and cholesterol. Don’t smoke. [Top] What can I do to prevent diabetes from damaging my nervous system? Research has shown that people who kept their blood glucose close to normal were able to lower their risk of nerve damage. Here is what you can do to prevent nerve damage: Keep your blood glucose as close to normal as you can. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink. Don’t smoke. Take care of your feet (see “What can I do to take care of my feet?”). Tell your doctor about any problems you have with your hands, arms, feet, or legs your stomach, bowels, or bladder Also tell your doctor if you have problems when you have sex cannot always tell when your blood glucose is too low feel dizzy when you go from lying down to sitting or standing [Top] What can I do to take care of my feet? Wash your feet in warm water every day. Make sure the water is not too hot by testing the temperature with your elbow. Do not soak your feet. Dry your feet well, especially between your toes. Look at your feet every day to check for cuts, sores, blisters, redness, calluses, or other problems. Checking every day is even more important if you have nerve damage or poor blood flow. If you cannot bend over or pull your feet up to check them, use a mirror. If you cannot see well, ask someone else to check your feet. Look at your feet every day to check for problems. If your skin is dry, rub lotion on your feet after you wash and dry them. Do not put lotion between your toes. File corns and calluses gently with an emery board or pumice stone. Do this after your bath or shower. Cut your toenails once a week or when needed. Cut toenails when they are soft from washing. Cut them to the shape of the toe and not too short. File the edges with an emery board. If you cannot cut your own toenails, ask someone who can or go to a foot doctor. Always wear shoes or slippers to protect your feet from injuries. Always wear slippers or shoes to protect your feet. Always wear socks or stockings to avoid blisters. Do not wear socks or knee-high stockings that are too tight below your knee. Wear shoes that fit well. Shop for shoes at the end of the day when your feet are bigger. Break in shoes slowly. Wear them 1 to 2 hours each day for the first 1 to 2 weeks. Make sure your doctor checks your feet at each checkup. [Top] What does my nervous system do? Nerves carry messages back and forth between the brain and other parts of the body. All of your nerves together make up the nervous system. Some nerves tell the brain what is happening in the body. For example, when you step on a tack, the nerve in your foot tells the brain about the pain. Other nerves tell the body what to do. For example, nerves from the brain tell your stomach when it is time to move food into your intestines. [Top] How can diabetes hurt my nervous system? Having high blood glucose for many years can damage the blood vessels that bring oxygen to some nerves. High blood glucose can also hurt the covering on the nerves. Damaged nerves may stop sending messages. Or they may send messages too slowly or at the wrong times. Diabetic neuropathy is the medical term for damage to the nervous system from diabetes. The nervous system has four main parts—cranial, central, peripheral, and autonomic. Diabetes can damage the peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerves. [Top] How can diabetes damage to the peripheral nerves affect me? Peripheral nerves go to the arms, hands, legs, and feet. Damage to these nerves can make your arms, hands, legs, or feet feel numb. Also, you might not be able to feel pain, heat, or cold when you should. You may feel shooting pains or burning or tingling, like “pins and needles.” These feelings are often worse at night. They can make it hard to sleep. Most of the time these feelings are on both sides of your body, such as in both of your feet. But they can be on just one side.Peripheral nerve damage can change the shape of your feet. Foot muscles get weak and the tendons in the foot get shorter. You can get special shoes that are made to fit softly around your sore feet or feet that have changed shape. These special shoes help protect your feet. Medicare and other health insurance programs may pay for special shoes. Talk with your doctor about how and where to get these shoes. Nerve damage from diabetes can increase your risk for carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs when a nerve from your forearm to your hand is compressed. Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in your hand and arm. Peripheral nerves go from your spinal cord to your arms, hands, legs, and feet. [Top] How can diabetes damage to the autonomic nerves affect me? Autonomic nerves help you know your blood glucose is low. Some people take diabetes medicines that can accidentally make their blood glucose too low. Damage to the autonomic nerves can make it hard for them to feel the symptoms of hypoglycemia, also called low blood glucose.This kind of damage is more likely to happen if you have had diabetes for a long time. It can also happen if your blood glucose has been too low very often. Autonomic nerves go from your spinal cord to your lungs, heart, stomach, intestines, bladder, and sex organs. Autonomic nerves go to the stomach, intestines, and other parts of the digestive system. Damage to these nerves can make food pass through the digestive system too slowly or too quickly. Nerve problems can cause nausea—feeling sick to your stomach—vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea.Nerve damage to your stomach is called gastroparesis. When nerves to the stomach are damaged, the muscles of the stomach do not work well and food may stay in the stomach too long. Gastroparesis makes it hard to keep blood glucose under control. Autonomic nerves go to the penis. Damage to these nerves can prevent a man’s penis from getting firm when he wants to have sex. This condition is called erectile dysfunction or impotence. Many men who have had diabetes for several years experience it. Autonomic nerves go to the vagina. Damage to these nerves can prevent a woman’s vagina from getting wet when she wants to have sex. A woman might also have less feeling around her vagina. Damage to autonomic nerves from diabetes may cause problems with having sex. Autonomic nerves go to the heart. Damage to these nerves might make your heart beat faster or at different speeds. Autonomic nerves go to the bladder. Damage to these nerves can make it hard to know when you should go to the bathroom. The damage can also make it hard to feel when your bladder is empty. Both problems can cause you to hold urine for too long, which can lead to bladder infections. Another problem can be leaking drops of urine accidentally. Damage to autonomic nerves from diabetes can cause bladder and stomach problems. Autonomic nerves go to the blood vessels that keep your blood pressure steady. Damage to these nerves can make your blood move too slowly to keep your blood pressure steady when you change position. When you go from lying down to standing up or when you exercise a lot, the sudden changes in blood pressure can make you dizzy. Diabetes can damage autonomic nerves that help keep your blood pressure steady. [Top] How can diabetes damage to the cranial nerves affect me? Cranial nerves go to the eye muscles. Damage to these nerves usually occurs in one eye, causing double vision. This problem happens all of a sudden and most often lasts for a short time. Cranial nerves go to the sides of the face. Damage to these nerves usually happens on only one side of the face. This nerve damage causes that side of the face to hang lower or sag. Usually the lips and lower eyelid sag. This problem is called Bell’s palsy. It happens all of a sudden. Cranial nerves go from your brain to your eyes, mouth, ears, and other parts of your head. [Top] How do I know if I have nerve damage? If you have one or more of the problems mentioned in this booklet, you may have some nerve damage from diabetes. Tell your doctor about the problem. Ask your doctor what you can do to make the problem better and to stop it from getting worse. Ask your doctor what you can do about the problems from diabetes nerve damage.

Take Good Care of Your Feet

If you have diabetes, it’s important to take care of your feet. Diabetes can cause nerve damage that makes it hard to tell if you have a foot injury. When foot injuries go unnoticed, they can worsen and become infected, sometimes leading to hospitalization or even amputation.

To prevent foot problems:

• Get regular exams. Your health care provider should examine your feet at least once a year. Taking off your shoes and socks while you wait for the doctor can be a helpful reminder.
• Keep your feet clean and dry. Wash your feet every day and dry them carefully, especially between the toes.
• Check for injuries. Check your feet daily for blisters, red marks, cuts, scratches, and infections. Look between your toes. Use a mirror to help you see the bottom of your feet. Ask a family member or friend if you need help. If you notice any injuries or changes in foot color, shape, or feeling, call or see your doctor.
• Protect your feet from heat and cold. Wear shoes at the beach and on hot pavement. Test bath water with your hand to be sure it isn’t too hot. Never use hot water bottles, heating pads, or electric blankets. If your feet feel cold at night, wear socks.
• Never walk barefoot, not even indoors. Wear comfortable shoes that fit well and protect your feet. Check inside your shoes before wearing them. Make sure the lining is smooth and there are no objects inside. Don’t wear sandals with toe straps, and don’t wear shoes without socks.
• Buy shoes that are comfortable at the time of purchase. Wear new shoes for only 1 hour indoors the first day. Check your feet for blisters, and slowly increase the wearing time each day.
• Wear clean, properly fitting socks. Don’t wear socks that have been mended or have holes. Padded athletic socks can give extra protection.
• See a doctor or podiatrist for corn and callus removal. Don’t use chemical products or try to cut them yourself. Tell your provider that you have diabetes.
• Trim your toenails straight across. If you need help, see your doctor or podiatrist.
• Protect your circulation. Put your feet up when you sit. Wiggle your toes and flex your feet up and down from time to time during the day. Don’t cross your legs for long periods of time. Don’t smoke.

Too much glucose in the blood for a long time can cause diabetes problems. This high blood glucose, also called blood sugar, can damage many parts of the body, such as the heart, blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys. Heart and blood vessel disease can lead to heart attacks and strokes. You can do a lot to prevent or slow down diabetes problems. This information is about feet and skin problems caused by diabetes. You will learn the things you can do each day and during each year to stay healthy and prevent diabetes problems. High blood glucose can cause feet and skin problems. [Top] What should I do each day to stay healthy with diabetes? Follow the healthy eating plan that you and your doctor or dietitian have worked out. Be active a total of 30 minutes most days. Ask your doctor what activities are best for you. Take your medicines as directed. Check your blood glucose every day. Each time you check your blood glucose, write the number in your record book. Check your feet every day for cuts, blisters, sores, swelling, redness, or sore toenails. Brush and floss your teeth every day. Control your blood pressure and cholesterol. Don’t smoke. [Top] How can diabetes hurt my feet? High blood glucose from diabetes causes two problems that can hurt your feet: Nerve damage. One problem is damage to nerves in your legs and feet. With damaged nerves, you might not feel pain, heat, or cold in your legs and feet. A sore or cut on your foot may get worse because you do not know it is there. This lack of feeling is caused by nerve damage, also called diabetic neuropathy. Nerve damage can lead to a sore or an infection. Poor blood flow. The second problem happens when not enough blood flows to your legs and feet. Poor blood flow makes it hard for a sore or infection to heal. This problem is called peripheral vascular disease, also called PVD. Smoking when you have diabetes makes blood flow problems much worse. These two problems can work together to cause a foot problem. Make sure you wear shoes that fit well. For example, you get a blister from shoes that do not fit. You do not feel the pain from the blister because you have nerve damage in your foot. Next, the blister gets infected. If blood glucose is high, the extra glucose feeds the germs. Germs grow and the infection gets worse. Poor blood flow to your legs and feet can slow down healing. Once in a while a bad infection never heals. The infection might cause gangrene. If a person has gangrene, the skin and tissue around the sore die. The area becomes black and smelly. To keep gangrene from spreading, a doctor may have to do surgery to cut off a toe, foot, or part of a leg. Cutting off a body part is called an amputation. [Top] What can I do to take care of my feet? Look at your feet every day to check for problems. Wash your feet in warm water every day. Make sure the water is not too hot by testing the temperature with your elbow. Do not soak your feet. Dry your feet well, especially between your toes. Look at your feet every day to check for cuts, sores, blisters, redness, calluses, or other problems. Checking every day is even more important if you have nerve damage or poor blood flow. If you cannot bend over or pull your feet up to check them, use a mirror. If you cannot see well, ask someone else to check your feet. If your skin is dry, rub lotion on your feet after you wash and dry them. Do not put lotion between your toes. File corns and calluses gently with an emery board or pumice stone. Do this after your bath or shower. Cut your toenails once a week or when needed. Cut toenails when they are soft from washing. Cut them to the shape of the toe and not too short. File the edges with an emery board. Always wear slippers or shoes to protect your feet from injuries. Always wear slippers or shoes to protect your feet. Always wear socks or stockings to avoid blisters. Do not wear socks or knee-high stockings that are too tight below your knee. Wear shoes that fit well. Shop for shoes at the end of the day when your feet are bigger. Break in shoes slowly. Wear them 1 to 2 hours each day for the first few weeks. Before putting your shoes on, feel the insides to make sure they have no sharp edges or objects that might injure your feet. [Top] How can my doctor help me take care of my feet? Tell your doctor right away about any foot problems. Your doctor should do a complete foot exam every year. Ask your doctor to look at your feet at each diabetes checkup. To make sure your doctor checks your feet, take off your shoes and socks before your doctor comes into the room. Take off your shoes and socks so your doctor will check your feet. Ask your doctor to check how well the nerves in your feet sense feeling. Ask your doctor to check how well blood is flowing to your legs and feet. Ask your doctor to show you the best way to trim your toenails. Ask what lotion or cream to use on your legs and feet. If you cannot cut your toenails or you have a foot problem, ask your doctor to send you to a foot doctor. A doctor who cares for feet is called a podiatrist. [Top] What are common diabetes foot problems? Anyone can have corns, blisters, and other foot problems. If you have diabetes and your blood glucose stays high, these foot problems can lead to infections. Corns and calluses are thick layers of skin caused by too much rubbing or pressure on the same spot. Corns and calluses can become infected. Blisters can form if shoes always rub the same spot. Wearing shoes that do not fit or wearing shoes without socks can cause blisters. Blisters can become infected. Ingrown toenails happen when an edge of the nail grows into the skin. The skin can get red and infected. Ingrown toenails can happen if you cut into the corners of your toenails when you trim them. You can also get an ingrown toenail if your shoes are too tight. If toenail edges are sharp, smooth them with an emery board. A bunion forms when your big toe slants toward the small toes and the place between the bones near the base of your big toe grows big. This spot can get red, sore, and infected. Bunions can form on one or both feet. Pointed shoes may cause bunions. Bunions often run in the family. Surgery can remove bunions. Plantar warts are caused by a virus. The warts usually form on the bottoms of the feet. Hammertoes form when a foot muscle gets weak. Diabetic nerve damage may cause the weakness. The weakened muscle makes the tendons in the foot shorter and makes the toes curl under the feet. You may get sores on the bottoms of your feet and on the tops of your toes. The feet can change their shape. Hammertoes can cause problems with walking and finding shoes that fit well. Hammertoes can run in the family. Wearing shoes that are too short can also cause hammertoes. Dry and cracked skin can happen because the nerves in your legs and feet do not get the message to keep your skin soft and moist. Dry skin can become cracked. Cracks allow germs to enter and cause infection. If your blood glucose is high, it feeds the germs and makes the infection worse. Athlete’s foot is a fungus that causes itchiness, redness, and cracking of the skin. The cracks between the toes allow germs to get under the skin and cause infection. If your blood glucose is high, it feeds the germs and makes the infection worse. The infection can spread to the toenails and make them thick, yellow, and hard to cut. Tell your doctor about any foot problem as soon as you see it. [Top] How can special shoes help my feet? Special shoes can be made to fit softly around your sore feet or feet that have changed shape. These special shoes help protect your feet. Medicare and other health insurance programs may pay for special shoes. Talk with your doctor about how and where to get them. [Top] How can diabetes hurt my skin? Diabetes can hurt your skin in two ways: If your blood glucose is high, your body loses fluid. With less fluid in your body, your skin can get dry. Dry skin can be itchy, causing you to scratch and make it sore. Also, dry skin can crack. Cracks allow germs to enter and cause infection. If your blood glucose is high, it feeds germs and makes infections worse. You may get dry skin on your legs, feet, elbows, and other places on your body. Drinking fluids helps keep your skin moist and healthy. Nerve damage can decrease the amount you sweat. Sweating helps keep your skin soft and moist. Decreased sweating in your feet and legs can cause dry skin. [Top] What can I do to take care of my skin? After you wash with a mild soap, make sure you rinse and dry yourself well. Check places where water can hide, such as under the arms, under the breasts, between the legs, and between the toes. Keep your skin moist by washing with a mild soap and using lotion or cream after you wash. Keep your skin moist by using a lotion or cream after you wash. Ask your doctor to suggest one. Drink lots of fluids, such as water, to keep your skin moist and healthy. Wear all-cotton underwear. Cotton allows air to move around your body better. Check your skin after you wash. Make sure you have no dry, red, or sore spots that might lead to an infection. Tell your doctor about any skin problems.

Back to the Future for Real

Hello,

I’m FoodSpook. I was a little boy in the early 1950′s.  Both of my parents came out West from the South during WWII to build warships in high paying shipyards in the Bay Area.  I was the oldest child and a boy.  I remember from way back my Daddy used to tell me “boy, get an education, its the key to the world”. Those words are etched into my forehead and brain forever. By the way, I did go to college and graduated in Business.

My father and mother always told us on occasion about putting too much sugar in our oatmeal or cold cereal. My two younger sisters and I were always told about the dangers of “sugar diabetes”. We were young. We still ate a lot of sugar, especially when we made ‘Kool Aid’.  This was one one the first fast foods to hit the neighborhood.  All you needed was a pound of sugar, a half gallon pitcher of cold water and a five cent packet of concentrated artificial flavoring such as grape or cherry and you had yourself a liquid treat. That was in 1952. The same ‘Kool Aid’ is on the market shelves today. All you need to add  is sugar and water.  I was lucky. When I was a child, we played outside everyday and many times in the rain.  We children got a LOT of exercise.  Type 2 Diabetes can’t stand for you to exercise.  Your body burns up too much glucose (blood sugars) and Diabetes can’t get a hold of your body. You kids today have to take time away from your laptops and cell phones and get outside and play, forever!  Not just on Saturdays for soccer, but everyday if possible.

Our food industry advertises synthetic and man made food products as kid friendly.  This is a outright LIE!  I went to the grocery store last week and my grandaughter ask me to pick up a container of cranberry-grape juice. The only cranberry -grape juice was not juice at all, it was a juice “cocktail”. Kids, whenever you see the word “cocktail” on a juice container, leave it. Its only artificial flavoring and sugar. The label will say something like 14 to 18 percent real fruit juice.  Even if that is true, that means the container holds 86 t0 82 percent sugar and flavored water.  Remember what I said about ‘Kool Aid’ in the 1950′s?  The products on the grocery shelves today are ‘Kool Aid’ on Steroids.  In the past 60 years, the same nutritional game is being run on the American public and by many of the same companies.

If you are a young person, there is no way you can relate to what these food companies have done in the past.  You must understand what they are doing to us right now.  Type 2 diabetes is avoidable and in many cases reversable.  It is not a fluke that YOUR generation is suffering from the greatest number of children becoming type 2 Diabetics ever in our history.  I hope you will understand that you have corporations that are buying ad space on TV and advertising products that are carrying  high percentages of disguised sugars that can cause you to become obese which can lead to Diabetes. 

WE adults are older and have had our chance to figure out what’s happening to us. The majority of us have not worked this out.  You kids are young and HAVE to do battle with a food system that has been fooling the America public way before you were born. This epidemic of type 2 Diabetes is very related to what we eat . In this 21st Century,  why are so many children developing type 2 diabetes? There is a common denominator, the food you are fed. Kids, if your parents are unaware of how they are being manipulated by food companies and fast food restaurants, then you must SCHOOL them. Its your life.

The same ‘Kool Aid’ that I fixed as a child in the 1950′s is still being sold today. People were getting Diabetes then and they are getting it now, but the numbers are staggering. An estimated 60 million people in the United States have Diabetes. That’s about one out of five U.S. citizens. The use of corn based sugars in foods (high fructose corn syrup) has exploded in the past 30 years. Guess what?  So has the number of children diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes.  Folks, this is no coincidence!  What saw way back in the 1950′s was just the previews of what is happening today.  We  must become aware of what this food industry is doing to us.  

I don’t blame the food industry for making a buck. I’m trying to tell people that many of these companies are more that willing to sell you products taht can destroy your health or even you life. Do not put your trust in them.  We must be vigilant.
