Ärende: irraiated Foods       2/4
=================================
>>> Continued from previous message
It is no exaggeration to say that a policy of mass
irradiation of fresh produce is as blatantly stupid as
the Romans building their aqueducts with lead-lined
waterways. As historians have explained, after the
aqueducts were built, the water delivered to the
Roman population was contaminated with lead -- a
heavy metal that causes numerous health problems,
including insanity. Many historians blame the lead-
lined aqueducts as one of the primary reasons why
the Roman Empire fell: Its leaders went mad, and
the rest is history.

I would argue that America's leaders are already mad,
but that's beside the point. If we start irradiating our
food, thereby destroying its nutritional value, we are
going to unleash a cascade of unintended consequences
even greater than the Roman's aqueducts. Absent the
protections of phytonutrients found in plants, the
health of most consumers will rapidly decline, and we'll
see the U.S. thrust into a quagmire of chronic disease
and medical bankruptcy. (It's already heading there,
of course, but killing the food supply will only accelerate
the downward spiral of health.)

Let's sterilize all the food!
The USDA has never met a food sterilization plan it
didn't like. It backed the recent almond sterilization
law that went into effect in California last year,
forcing all almond growers to sterilize their almonds
by subjecting them to toxic chemicals or cooking them
at high enough temperatures to kill anything that might
have been alive (such as the almond itself). Now, all
the raw almonds consumed in America are purchased
from overseas growers, where raw still means raw.

Raw milk has also been under attack in California and
elsewhere. The USDA supported laws that essentially
banned the sales of raw milk, requiring milk to be
sterilized, too. If you now irradiate all the fresh produce,
you have a food supply that is predominantly sterilized --
otherwise known as "dead." And dead foods lead
to dead people.

That a society's health regulators would want all
foods to be dead should be downright shocking to
anyone who knows anything about health and nutrition.
Live foods keep people alive, but dead foods make
people dead. It's really not a complicated concept.
The USDA's definition of "food safety," however,
is based on the idea that the health of one immune
-system-compromised individual who can't handle a
little E. Coli is more important than the ongoing
health of the entire population. Thus, all foods
must be killed for everyone.

I strongly disagree with this approach. Foods should
not be expected to be sterilized. In terms of food
safety, emphasis should be placed on boosting the
health and immune systems of individuals so they
can survive occasional contact with E. Coli rather
than trying to create a sterile environment in which
nothing is alive. As it turns out, the people susceptible
to food-borne illnesses are precisely those individuals
who have compromised immune systems due to their
intake of vaccines and antibiotics. Thus, it is modern
medicine that has made these people vulnerable to
food-borne illnesses. Blame the drug companies,
not the bacteria.

But the USDA would rather blame the food. Blaming
conventional medicine for the harm it has caused to
the human immune system is not politically correct.
It's better to blame the food, then use scare tactics
to announce yet more outbreaks and hope for a public
outcry for widespread food irradiation. And that brings
me to the "final solution" on food irradiation.

How the USDA plans to join the FDA in keeping
everyone sick
There is a corporate-sponsored plot underway
in the U.S. today to keep people sick and deny
them access to information about natural cures
(such as medicinal foods) that would prevent disease
and keep people out of the hospitals. In more than
1,500 articles on this website, I've documented the
FDA's criminality, the USDA's indefensible actions,
and the criminal behavior of drug manufacturers who
only earn profits if they can find a way to keep the
entire population sick and diseased for another
generation or two.

Destroying the natural medicine in the food supply
sure would be a highly effective way to create
more customers for Big Pharma, wouldn't it? I
think it's all part of the "keep the population sick
and diseased" plot being carried out by an evil
partnership between drug companies and the U.S.
government. We already know that the FDA and
USDA work for the corporations, not the People.
We already know that they will do practically
anything to boost their profits (including conducting
medical experiments on infants, drugging schoolchildren,
lying to the public, fabricating clinical trials and more).
Is it any surprise that they would now attempt a "final
solution" on the food supply that kills the food and
thereby results in a huge reduction in the population's
intake of the disease-fighting nutrients found
in fresh produce?
