Why are harmful foods and ingredients available for purchase?
It's no secret that our food choices at the grocery store are most likely causing harm among the population. We need to look at what's happening on our shelves and why. It's not crazy to understand that our health, including our mental health, is directly affected by what we consume. I don't really think that is debatable. So why is the use of harmful ingredients allowed? Most importantly, why are they lying about how toxic these ingredients actually are. There are people screaming from the rooftops about this, but the topic is relatively ignored by most. Even though our diets are far more important than people care to put focus on. I mean you've seen the shopping carts filled with soda, chips, and boxed dinners. Maybe you're guilty yourself of fully trusting the safety just because it's there to buy. After all, our government wouldn't want us unhealthy- would they?

One could absolutely argue that what is being consumed by Americans is directly related to today's physical and mental health crisis. We are aware of disease being one of the leading causes of death. One could even argue that cancer is caused by what we consume. But why would this continue unchecked if true? It would mean our agencies that are designed to keep our shelves free of harmful products are in the very least, incompetent. But it's also safe to assume it all may be intentional. Figuring out their goal is mostly speculative. It doesn't take much research and thought to assume it's for money and possibly other darker agendas.

We've come to a time where we must be extra vigilant when shopping for foods we and our children consume. The powers at be clearly do not have our best interests in mind. It is also starting to surface that guidelines for everyday meals and food intake to target specific diseases may be completely backwards and doing more damage than good. Why is it we are getting fatter, sicker, and weaker? You would think after all these years in our well established way of life we would have conquered our health issues in relation to food and drink intake.

It's not just about making healthy choices. I believe there are far greater things at play here. Please, take the time to look into ingredients and dyes and remember Google is not always your friend when it comes to the first 5-10 results to a search. Also- Legal does not always equal Safe.
