Salmonella Outbreak

I just got through reading an article on Salmonella outbrek and thought that there were some quick facts that were worth mentioning:

>> After FDA-encouraged destruction of tens of millions of dollars of perfectly good tomatoes, FDA now admits that tomatoes may not have been the problem after all, and it has now set its sights on destroying the peppers industry.

>> However, tomatoes, peppers, onions, cilantro or spinach don't harbor salmonella. Salmonella only festers in factory-farmed animals, which means that the real source of contamination is probably an animal factory upstream from the vegetable processing centers.

>> Why doesn't FDA make a public appology for the initial scare of salmonella and acknowledge they were wrong with the same force they made their initial announcement?

>> Does FDA stay to gain from public's ignorance by scaring people away from fresh fruits and vegetables?

Let's suppose that FDA has an agenda to really scare the public to advance their irridiation propoganda. How would they benefit from it? The author of the article I read, Mike Adams, names three possible ways they stand to gain:

"1) It advances the FDA's pro-irradiation agenda where ALL fresh produce might someday be irradiated without your knowledge. (Let me insert here from myself, that the American public is already following in these steps by using GE and GM foods without their knowledge for the most part. For those of you who do not know GE: Genetically Engeneered, GM: Genetecally Modified. In either case, not as our Creator intended.)

2) It makes consumers buy more processed, dead foods, which produces profits for the very same junk food companies that have strong influence at the FDA.

3) If food irradiation is put in place, it will destroy the medicinal properties of fresh produce, thereby blocking the prevention of diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, etc. This, in turn, has the effect of creating a windfall of sick people that will fill the coffers of drug companies (who are, of course, the FDA's clients)."

Some of you reading might not think it is possible that FDA would treat American citizens in such a way. Lets reflect on some other facts, though:

>> While all of Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan ban rBGH milk and do not allow the sale of US produced milk or dairy, FDA still does not force US Dairy companies do disclose their use of rBGH in production of their milk (rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) is a genetically engineered, potent variant of the natural growth hormone produced by cows. Manufactured by Monsanto, it is sold to dairy farmers under the trade name POSILAC. Injection of this hormone forces cows to increase their milk production by about 10%.)

>> Same goes for the meat production. Most other contries have banned the sale of US produced meat, while American gourge themselves on this poison injected "drug", buying it up in neatly wrapped packages that read "FDA Approved".

>> FDA has been putting American lives at risk, pushing dangerous drugs (or you might call them medicines) "that were recalled by other nations, colluding with drug companies to bury negative information about the drugs, outlawing safe, natural alternatives to dangerous pharmaceuticals and even going so far as to threaten its own top scientists who attempt to speak out against dangerous drugs."

I can go on and on with such examples of FDA's bullying behavior, but I trust that by now you would want to be more educated yourselves. You can read more about irradiation and FDA facts by clicking on the links.

Become an EDUCATED consumer!!! Do not rely on the government agencies to protect the well-being of you and your family--apparently it has not worked so far... Educate others!!! Remember that fruits and vegetables are not the problem and had never been before, but the methods that are used to raise these crops are. The methods that had been approved by FDA are now failing. So, get out there and VOTE!!! Vote with your dollars by buying fresh and organic produce! Support your local farmers that grow organic crop. Support your family's health!!!

And remember Eat Healthy!!! Be Happy!!!
