You know those ads and commercials that show how much the food industry cares about your well being? The ones where happy and healthy families are laughing and having a good time while consuming generous quantities of the company's latest junk? Pure propaganda. We know it, and yet we still devour. Why? Because they've got us hooked! They know, as with any junkie, we can't resist getting our preferred fix.
The agriculture, dairy, food processing and retail industries only care about squeezing out every penny of profit - at the expense of the public's physical, emotional and spiritual health. Your health and happiness are of no concern, despite all those feel-good images of vibrant consumers.
The public makes two incorrect assumptions regarding Big Food. The first has to do with contamination. We see warnings in the press about mercury in tuna, wood pulp in Parmesan cheese, ground beef treated with ammonia to retard E. coli. These are examples of how some of the dangerous and deceptive practices of Big Food are exposed. The public assumes that corrective measures will be taken once an issue is uncovered - and that's just fine with Big Food. Truth is, too often nothing changes. That means an uninformed customer is their best customer. Full story...
