FOOD? NO!!
Is it suddenly becoming hazardous to eat!
Almost daily, we are beset with a new threat to our choice of foods and warned that continued use of a specific food can only mean sure death.
Nothing, it seems, is exempt from being so marked.
The latest case to hit the news is the legal case in the courts in San Francisco. California at the moment seeking to forbid the sale of Oreo ® cookies to children. With that special limitation in place, it can't be long before we will be asked to show our age and ident details in order to buy some cookies for the kids.
Soon it will come about that just about anything you plan to eat, or to feed to small children , will be on the forbidden lists.
There seems to be no avenue of escape remaining.
The term “normal” no longer applies, either. Any use is said to be in excess. Parents, by and large, make the actual decision to buy a particular style or brand-name of cookies. To pretend that it is the child who makes the purchase is wrong. Playing the kid card is a favorite with foodfat chasers, it sees. That makes headlines, and shock bulletins on TV. There seems to be no state of “normality” one can seek.
Start with natural foods. Take the eight glasses of water we are supposed to drink each day. No! Don't! Far too, much! Critics point out that water leeches out the salt and minerals from our bodies and leaves us as stranded wrecks at the mercy of diseases. There are numerous cases of people dying from drinking too much water. Water “quality” ranges the entire gamut of taste and clarity The ideal ranges from special waters imported from Italy, France or Canada to cistern water from back porch roofs with bird droppings as a standard ingredient. It is said the eight glass routine was developed by persons selling bottled water. Many now pay more for bottled water than for gasoline with which to power their cars. We are now paying more for our garbage bags each year than eighty nations spend on everything for the year!
Breads ....beverages... veggies... desserts ...old favorites ..., eggs... untried novelties ...fast foods - slow foods ...refined or processed foods of any kind....baked, boiled or fried ! Restyled or genetically modified foods? Never! No!
It will be interesting to see what percentage of these “sued food” firms just happen to be properties of ”the big tobacco” companies. Check to see who owns the product being vilified. This may well prove to be a continuation of the nicotine war. Suit seekers
seem to have sensed some of those firms still seem to have money left in their other greedy pocket. Get it!
“Trans Fats!” is the latest battle cry being heard through the land.
