I need to add my 2 cents concerning the horrible ingredients that the leading companies (by this I mean the big money ones) put into their products. The products that most of America is eating. If America was better educated in nutrition maybe they would put down that box of hamburger/tuna/chicken/pork/turkey/mystery meat helper and eat something healthier. Personally, I shop in only 3-4 aisles in my grocery store. The rest of the aisles are diseases waiting to happen!

Hi!
I have to comment on what you guys are saying. I don´t live in the USA but my brother does. He does all his shopping in the places where they sell organic foods, some Farmers Market or something. I first went to the USA about 20 years ago and even then I hated the food. Everything was junk food, nothing tasted of anything, I mean, I would buy an apple or a tomato and they both tasted the same...WATER! My son wanted toast so we bought some sliced bread. We were shocked to find that it was sweet, packed with loads of sugar!! Everything had added chemicals! Since then I have been back to the USA a few times to visit my brother but the food gets worse each time, it doesn´t matter if you go to a restaurant, even a salad is tasteless and they provide you with sauces and condiments so at least the food tastes of something!
In England, things are slowly becoming as bad as in the USA. Obesity is a big problem, though you can still find good places to shop and eat. But I made the best decision, I moved to Spain. Here you find that fruit and veg can still be bought in the markets that come to your town once or twice a week, home grown produce in its funny shapes and sizes which tastes like it should. Just picking up a lettuce, rinsing it and sprinkling some salt on it and eating it on its own. Its fresh, its juicy and it doesn´t go mouldy if its not kept in the fridge.(within reason). If you are a meat eater, the meat from the north of Spain is from cows which roam on pastures, which aren´t fed chemical feeds. The meat doesn´t lose water or shrink when you cook it. Last year I went to Ireland for the first time,( my other half is Irish) and what a pleasnt surprise I had. If you still enjoy traditional home cooked wholesome food, well, thats the place to go. Again, they have fresh veg and the meat is what you might call organic because the cows, sheep and pigs are out grazing all year round. The fish is excellent, and the brown organic bread and butter is out of this world! The only problem is it sure rains a lot, which is why I chose to live in Spain.
Well folks, I hope you will get the chance to venture abroad one day and try all these beautiful foods, because I have to agree with you, the food in the USA SUCKS!

They eat animals, they become the animals they eat. Dumbed down to animal natures they become gluttons who can speak and read and follow directions. Ever see pigs at a trow?
When you eat a pig or cow you consume the essence of the animal, it enters your blood and your dna and you become like the animals you eat.
I live near Wisconsin, the milk, cheese and beef state. Without a doubt they are the most BOVINE, cow like, humans I have ever seen, in all thier looks thoughts and ways they are BOVINE in nature. If I go west of me to Iowa, I see the pig farmers in Iowa, the pig farmers who are big pig eaters act just like pigs, they snort, pick thier noses in public, act kind of piggish in demeanor, guffaw on each other and thier next thought is always thier next meal, often pork ribs and they will talk for an hour all about thier pork bar-be-que recipe sauce and they celibrate and give each other pork ribs or pork roasts for fun. pig rib eating is the church social pastime. Unusual. I heard some pigs will eat until they explode,not sure. I wonder how many of those heavy pig and beef eating people have pork hydatid tapeworms and beef hydatid tapeworms? Many are lactose and protien intolerant and do not even know it. Gluttony is a sin, a deadly sin. And people perish for lack of knowledge. see breatharian forum for links. This is not a critisism, just an observation. I like animals. I believe they should all be well kept in barns or helped to live natural, be treated well, be protected and NOT be eaten by humans. Cannibalism is not attractive to me, not even cross species cannabalism. See what oj fasting does to you.
I do not live near any chicken factories, I bet the people who eat a lot of chickens act and behave like chickens.
George Orwell was correct in his book, Animal Farm.
All I can say is, be careful around animals, be nice to the animals, don't feed the animals and do not let the animals/humans bite you.
Vegans and fruitarians do not really interface with the blood and guts horror blood flesh eaters encounter. When you are vegan or fruitarian you RESONATE at a much higher, less animalistic level, so there is rarely a problem for vegans or fruitarians as they are reclaiming their divine, angelic and human natures back, uncorrupted by slaughtered animal influence.
