uber frakenfood

 "We’re just a product of a biological attack"...I heard a person say  this in passing as I was ordering my green tea from my favorite java (Oh I  miss the taste of coffee) hole. I turned around to see this person  having a bran muffin with cranberries saying to myself ...you might have  just eaten your words…hopefully he’s not a type O…oh those nasty wheat  lectins.... I’m amazed sometimes how as a species we survive the present  world we live in. I was reading today that there is a link between MS  and systemic lupus with the high consumption of diet drinks containing  Aspartame. Monsanto…maker of Aspartame… must pay millions of dollars to  keep the wraps on this type of info . Why pop drink (bad choice of a  beverage as a whole) manufacturers do not just use Stevia(like in Japan)…a herb…to  sweeten their drinks is beyond me but of course you can’t patent Stevia  so hence no money to be made.  

I feel sometimes that the modern evil  conquerors of today are the food and drug companies who through creative  marketing ploys and backdoor dealings with the FDA force these so  called frakenfoods and “low fat substitutes” on the public not in the  name of doing society good but for the almighty buck. Much like the  Kingdoms of England, France and Spain did when they explored the  America’s…. how so you ask. They did not come here to better the living  standards of the Indians…they might of fooled them into thinking so….but  they came to make their countries rich. There are great stories of  conquest and battles but in the end most of the Indian’s of North  America…. majority type 0…. died of disease…mostly smallpox… faster than  they died from the sword. Diseases all introduced by the conquerors…and  it’s happening today only we’re (am I responsible?) manufacturing them  through “frankenfood”…. what is our fate as a human society? I’m  optimistic because I think people, like myself, are fed up and if enough  people are fed up…sales of  “frankenfood” will stop (or at least slow  down so they are taken of the shelf).

If you want to read an excellent  book on the fate of human societies…pick up Guns, Germs, and Steel…The  fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond…Its account of how the modern  world was formed is full of lessons for our own future. 

 I'm going to have my green tea now....by for now!!
