Dear Jessica,

Great post! China’s contaminated milk, America’s processed foods with “spices” listed in ingredients, as spices. Dried herbs as we all might think, but these spices are at least 15 dangerous chemicals fabricated for a better taste and boost of appetite. You did not mention children’s toys MADE IN CHINA. These toys are painted with another killer-ingredient–lead. Our children taste their toys as we, adults, taste our food. Look at my blog, http://www.mamashomeremedies.com I am concerned about these issues, too.

Chemists and other scientific types will look down their noses and try to tell you that there is no difference between a molecule created using Corn or another grain as “feedstock,” and the real thing. This is not so.

Always remind those scientific types that they only know what was taught to them. They do not know everything. There is no substitute for the real thing from its natural source. Accept nothing less.

I wish this was an easier thing to do.

All the additives in prossessed food are an expence, does it make any sense for additives to be used if they were not nessesary? Granted there are some such as the red dye used to make packaged meat look red are questionable, but most of them allow millions of apartment dwellers to eat with out having to work their own farm lands.

I wish I could trust lables to tell me all that is in the package but I can’t. FDA has indeed failed us and the oversight is hardly there so we are left to trust that the producers are not lying. All the fresh food contamination we have had lately make me weary especially the beef from sick animals. I have started growing much of what I eat in my city lot and rarely buy processed food. I am retired and I can do that but most people can’t. My number one concern are the chemicals used to grow food, those are not listed so who knows what we are eating. What can we do when we can’t trust our own agencies to protect us?

Dear Jessica G,

If you would like to learn all you ever wanted (and didn’t want) to know about food in this country- where it comes from, what these unpronounceable additives really are, what organic really means, etc.- I highly recommend you read The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan. It is a thoroughly researched account of how processed foods make it from the soil to the dinner table, and every step in between. I recommend this book to any parent concerned and/or confused about what is safe for them and their children to eat.
