RE: Deconstructing Obesity - Connecting the Obesity Epidemic to the Food System
do you believe in conspiracies? come on, nobody forces you to do anything or believe anything, especially in the free world of today. you can investigate yourself and determine what's best for you. the fact that people choose to swallow what they are given is another matter...
Do you believe in coincidences?

no I don't. I'm more into statistics.
The people close to us whether our family, friends or just well intended individuals can surround us with their ill informed opinions. Sure the simple answer is refuse to listen or ignore their banter yet when you are living with someone or several toxic individuals through time they will eventually break you down regardless of your awareness and what you know unless you flat out separate yourself from them. Brainwashing whether through high dollar marketing campaigning or political propaganda have a handle on those less enlightened than you and I to follow every word as gospel. In the early 90's many conspiracy theories surfaced regarding the dangers of GMO's. Recent statistics now prove what silly conspiracies theorized. It's true that we can investigate and determine what's best for us and I subscribe to that, yet it's probably a small percentage of us who actually follow that, but perhaps that is gradually changing. I am impressed that as time has gone on that corporations do respond to the bottom line and as awareness and better choices by individuals increase, so do the changes of menu items, ingredients and the process of raising and manufacturing.
