frenchkiki Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 What a shame^^ feeding your people with hormones and modified food. And the worse part is, the people ask for more, closing their eyes and opening their mouth wide to swallow all the poison, because they have zero knowledge in what they are fed with. It's the same thing with the politics in France. Lot of them are against organic foods. How can you be against health and well-being? Seriously?!

Cult Icon Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 haven't found much [convincing] evidence that engineered chickens are particularly unsafe to eat. What I personally avoid are processed foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I wouldn't really say that so much as to provide foods in a more economical matter (but with the known excesses but the FDA). Chickens were small (circa 1950s and earlier) and expensive back in the day. Prior generations of working people, for instance, could not even afford to consume meat regularly and relied on nuts for protein. Ditto for fruits and vegetables.In the 1940s and 1950s, much of the population could only eat fruits/vegetables regularly if they came from cans. In the end the consumer is the one that decides whether business models exist or not. They bear some responsibility for their failures along with the FDA. Although bad businesses like can exist for a long time and harm the consumer by using advertising and marketing to indoctrinate them or operate under the radar. I might buy organic chickens if these could actually produced in an economical way. But I rely on chicken for protein every morning (I think whey is too processed and is bad for digestion). But foods are definitely getting more organic. It was once just "Whole Foods" as the big corporate player. Now Whole Foods is moving down-market into the inner city after market saturation. Wal-mart, Target, grocers, etc. are getting more organic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchkiki Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Answering to your preview message not this one... ^^ Because the evidences are hidden by the lobby of the food industry. Engineered chicken are unsafe to eat. And i am not even talking about the cruelty of doing this to animals. At the end of the 70's the sodium nitrite was about to be banned in the U.S because DRs and specialists were proving the link between the nitrite & cancer. And you know what? The U.S lobby of meat industry and its president spent millions of dollar$ to silent the fact that sodium nitrite is the cause of millions of colon and rectal cancers and lied about to Americans on TV AND last but no least: Ronald Reagan won the election and the president of the meat lobby became part of it's government because of all the money he nicely gave to him & the project to forbid nitrite in U.S was buried, Amen! It has be proven by many studies since 40 years now that remove sodium nitrite from ham, sausages anything made with pork will save millions of life but if you google "sodium nitrite" all you will find is what the food industry want you to know: it's good for you and it's even something the body produce naturally and without it we will get scorbutic lies & falsehoods. But if you type "Susan Preston Martin" you will learn about how the food looby destroyed her life and career because she dared to say the truth about the nitrites.

Cult Icon Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 ^^There are arguments for different sides but I haven't found the weight of evidence against engineered chicken to be particularly alarming. I don't like cold-cuts personally and rarely buy processed meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stromboli1 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Chickens growing faster & bigger in a short amount of time is not natural. American food culture favors quantity over quality. (I'm talking on a mass scale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 18 hours ago, 17 Moments of Spring said: ^^ related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Study This reminds me of my conversations with this woman from Turkmanistan. Her physical appearance was unusual in that she was astonishingly fragile and thin (delicate boned) but relatively tall. Basically her body looked like a model but shorter. I have noticed these traits in people from asia, india, and the third world. People from Western Europe and North America almost never look like that due to their nutrition. When the talk move to diet she told me that all the fruits and vegetables here were artificial tasting and had coarse fibers. She only ate organic produce back home. She also rarely ate meat and she told me that she felt stronger from including protein in her diet in america. This concern of living forever reminds me of an old friend of mine who lead troops in Afghanistan. It took me a long time to understand what he said to me. I was always more left wing than him. He joined the army in the 1980s as a conservative crusader. Not for morality, justice, or idealism but for adventurism. It was never the quantity of life that ever mattered to him; it was the quality. He was strongly against the idea that people should be shielded from all risks and have their behavior monitored and controlled; he hated the modern progressive culture and saw it as degeneration rather than any real progress. He had an ivy league graduate degree and saw the educational system as turning people into sheep-like creatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
