Upcoming documentary

Remember, 3/4 of the grocery store is utterly unnecessary. Vegetables, some meat and/or fish--if you eat it--some pasta(s) and the freshest breads you can get, either at home or the store. After that, a few condiments--maybe--some seasoning(s) and everything with as little sugar, if any at all, and as few ingredients as possible. Nothing processed. It's easy. Easier than it sounds, too. It's great for your health, great for your wasteline, far less expensive, potentially, simple and you'll feel terrific. Take back your food. Take back your body. Take back your life.

Quote of the day--on China

"Basically, people now feel nothing is safe to eat. They don't know what choices to make. They are really feeling very helpless." --SANG LIWEI, director of the Beijing office of the Global Food Safety Forum, on rising food safety concerns in China.

Between this--food safety, nationwide over there--and their gross, wholesale pollution and the inability to grant true free speech in China, you have to wonder: these are the people we have to fear?

Good questions on food and our government's complicity with corporations

When did we lose the right to know what we are eating? When did food labeling become a con game to make us think we're eating healthy even when we are not? Why is the government assisting those who wish to confuse us? --Robin Quivers Link to original post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robin-quivers/secret-ingredients_b_675961.html
