	 Scary things contaminating our food supply(NaturalNews) Before you read this article, be warned: you may never want to eat again.

You probably already know that our food supply is contaminated. But did you know that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows a certain amount of rat excrement, insect heads and maggots in the food supply, along with a number of other contaminants?

Nowhere is bad science more deceptively contrived and universally successful than in the fats and oils section of the grocery store. Although fats and oils are an important, even essential part of a healthy diet, we are told that “fat causes heart disease” and that we must reduce our fat consumption.

This video is a must see for anyone who cares where their food comes from.

U.S. meat supply widely contaminated with mad cow disease prions

by David Gutierrez, staff writer 

(NaturalNews) Mad cow disease is a progressive brain-wasting disease. It is caused by a type of defective protein known as a prion and cannot be cured. The factory farming practices of feeding animals the nervous tissue of other animals first caused the ballooning spread of mad cow disease and created the current crisis. When it became clear what had happened, many countries banned feeding the tissue of ruminants (cows, sheep and goats) to other ruminants. 

There's just one problem: ruminant tissue (including nervous tissue) is still fed to everything else. That means that chicken, farmed fish, and any other kind of meat might contain mad cow prions.

To make matters worse, fish meal, chicken feces and the bodies of other animals can then be fed straight back to ruminants intended for human consumption. An extra step has been added, but the concentration of prions in animal flesh continues.

Prions are NOT destroyed by cooking

U.S. consumers are widely taught to "cook the meat" in order to sterilize it. But prions are not bacteria. They aren't alive, and they remain completely unaffected by cooking. Even radiation cannot destroy prions. They can survive right through the meat packing process and wind up in your next hamburger.

Ultimately, the only way to reliably reduce your risk of mad cow disease is to avoid factory-farmed meat products altogether. Only organic beef from grass-fed cattle can be trusted. Any meat that comes from a typical feedlot operation may be infected with prions and could therefore be deadly to consume.

There are men in the Eastern world looked to as great and special men called fakirs who according to some men work wonders.

A similar phenomenon has come to the Western world right here in America.
 
Some companies and a prominent leader here or there are finally talking about the value of whole food nutrition.  They put "whole food" on their labels but provide the bulk (nearly all) of the nutrients on their labels from synthetic sources that are then added to a dib dab of this, that and the other super food items -- better than nothing but a long way from "whole food" NUTRIENT products.

More than three-fourths of the honey sold in U.S. grocery stores isn't exactly what the bees produce, according to testing done exclusively for Food Safety News.

The results show that the pollen frequently has been filtered out of products labeled "honey."

An Amish farmer is in trouble for distributing raw milk in interstate commerce. If the Leahy bill passes, raw milk “desperados” like him could go to jail for ten years!

 

Last month the Justice Department, at the request of the US Food and Drug Administration, filed a complaint for permanent injunction against Daniel L. Allgyer, owner of the Rainbow Acres Farm, in Kinzers, PA, for distributing unpasteurized (or “raw”) milk for human consumption in interstate commerce.

CODEX COMMITTEE ON FOOD ADDITIVES MEETS IN CHINA

 

“When you drink the water, remember the source.” – Chinese proverb

Recently, I had the pleasure of flying across half the world and back so that I could attend two different, back-to-back Codex meetings at both ends of the trip. That was the fun part. The hard part was reconciling the supposedly disparate concepts embodied in these two Codex committees as they worked on standards for food additives and contaminants in food. Sometimes I wondered why the food-additives committee was approving contaminants as additives to food while the contaminants committee was doing the same.

congressWe fear that the vague language and ten-year jail term in the bill will be misused by the FDA to threaten innocent natural health food and dietary supplement producers. Please take action to amend or stop it.

Last year’s bill to increase criminal penalties for “misbranding” or “adulterating” foods from a maximum of one year in jail to a maximum of ten has been reintroduced. The problem lies in how these terms are defined. And the bill’s on a fast track.
