Why is This Allowed to Happen?

Why are we being poisoned on a regular basis in America?

Other countries have begun to ban these things.

The ingredients put in our food is becoming a real dilemma…

The people suffer and food producers live like kings.

They put bad things in our food because it’s cheaper to make.

But how much more can America take?

Artificial food dye, Olestra, Brominated Vegetable Oil, Potassium Bromate,

Azodicarbonamide, BHA & BHT, rBGH, rBST, even Arsenic.

Cancer, schizophrenia, asthma, birth defects, nerve cell deterioration, and hearing loss…

Just to name a few side effects. How are eating these things logic?

We need food to live, but finding food that won’t kill us, even a simple sauce

Can be nearly impossible. The worst part is the fact most people are ignorant of this.

I want to stop the use of harmful ingredients. I want to actually eat with bliss.

I want to go to my local grocery store and know the products I choose to eat

Won’t cause my early death or let my health deplete.

I would change the use of harmful products in food we eat every day

I would make healthy food cost friendly, and not some high grade product most people can’t afford.

So America, I implore you, don’t allow harmful food products that make your citizens pay.
