Finding information on nutrition and the state of the food system is far simpler than you can imagine. In this age of Wi Fi and smart phones it is easier to find information than it was less than a decade ago. Sorting through all the information becomes the challenge.
There are hundreds of sites and thousands of articles that pop up when you Yahoo or Google. If you want the most current and credible information, you need to use the advance search options of the search engine. Here are two links on the subject. http://www.virtualsalt.com/howlook.htm and http://www.virtualsalt.com/evalu8it.htm
The point is always question the answer to a question until it is no longer is a question but a fact. When dealing with information, some except what they get at face value. That is what the problem has been concerning our food system. It is what the businesses, which are not looking out for anything but profit, count on. Unless you are thoroughly familiar with the federal, state and local regulations in the food industry, you are at a supreme disadvantage to knowing what is wrong with the food you are eating.
And let me be clear about this. There are many things wrong with the food you are eating. Further more the corporations and government agencies are fully aware of it. This is not conspiracy or fiction. It is a bona fide and verifiable fact. The question then becomes the proverbial “What did they know and when did they know it”. Once you become familiar with that, then the answers to “what can be done” come from the how it was done.
Everything that we write in this blog has been checked and re checked through multiple sources. But we don’t expect or want you to take our word for anything. That would just continue the pattern of acceptance that creates most problems. Question everything is what I say, even what you read in this blog. Feel free to cut and paste anything suspicious or what tickles your BS meter. I invite you to do it and comment here in this blog.
I will give you the carrot that will begin a lengthy search to the answer to the question, “What is this stuff on the label and is it really good for me?”

This is a real organization and not product of an over active imagination.
To facilitate pure objectivity I am not including what I have found unless requested.
