My Turn: Sugar-packed, processed nation — What we eat is killing us

I always wondered in this country why we always go after the symptom and never the cause? Take our health care system for example — all doctors are trained to correct the symptom and never really go after the cause.

This is all designed on purpose. If you go after the cause right away, then you will never be able to push all those high-profit medications. The truth be said that if you just eat the right foods, 97% of these medications would be unnecessary. So with massive profits to be made, the cause is suppressed on purpose.

The FDA continues to allow the pushing of sugar and high-processed foods on the American people. Knowing full well how bad these foods are, they keep pushing and we keep getting ill. Once we’re ill, it’s on the health care system, right? So if there is a national crisis, this one should be on the forefront.

Super-saturated processed foods are killing us! Processed food and sugar are a nightmare on the human body. It seems the FDA is failing the American people and should be held accountable. So if sugar is proven to be a cause of many diseases, why do government entities keep allowing it to be added it to our food? Oh, that’s right, because it is super addicting. By some measures, it can be five times more addicting than heroin.

So if they can keep us addicted, we will continue to get sicker. You see, once you’re sick there’s a lot of money to be made off of you. That’s exactly why we don’t have universal health care. The motto used to be: Let’s make a profit; now it’s all about making a killing.

With universal health care, you will only make a profit, not a killing. So if 80% of our food is processed and continually packed with sugar, we can expect life spans to drop significantly over the next couple of decades. Basically we are all being slowly poisoned by our own institutions. Sugar has been continually added to our food for the past 40 years. There’s absolutely no reason for this other than to make people more addicted. Since the FDA knowingly allows all of this poison to be added to our foods, maybe it’s time we sue them.

There are more chemical additives also pushed into our food supply with little or no oversight. These chemicals that these big companies/labs add don’t even need to be put on the label. So basically we have no idea what we’re putting into our bodies. Good luck trying to find out what chemicals are added because these companies/labs that add them are locked up tighter than Fort Knox. Like I said, little or no oversight.

We continue to see that both greed and profit are the drivers of major injustices in this country. So since you won’t be getting updates from the FDA on our poisoned food supply, it will be solely up to you to gain as much knowledge about it as you can. So you can share it with your families. So for your own safety, try to stay away from sugar and processed foods, for they are destroying your body.
