The Art of Food Deception (Opinion)
by Hesh Goldstein
(NaturalNews) It's amazing how much we take for granted. We assume that all the food in the supermarkets and natural food stores are safe to eat. What we don't realize is the reality of the sinister plot to reduce the population. That was covered in part in a previous article that I wrote entitled "The Ultimate Conspiracy". But, for now, how does food fit in to that ultimate conspiracy?
If you had to choose the perfect weapon that would immobilize, control and destroy the people, what would that be? Would you believe FOOD?
If you look at the effects of the most recognized and advertised foods today, what do you see?
For one, you see an obesity epidemic that starts with small children. You also see an alarming rate of degenerative diseases plaguing people in their 40's and 50's. You see millions of people hooked on expensive prescription and over-the-counter medications. You see the "disease care" business booming.
And, you always see advertising dollars promoting a consistent bill of fare of high fat, heavily sugared or artificially sweetened, highly processed, refined (stripped of nutrients) and genetically modified foods loaded with chemicals, preservatives, artificial colors, taste enhancers (MSG), and other ingredients that defy pronunciation.
Why?? Because large corporations make huge profits off of people eating foods guaranteed to keep those people in a state of ill health.
We consume soda, containing genetically modified high fructose corn syrup, as if it were life supporting non-fluoridated water. We consume various shapes of white flour clumps that are baked or cooked in grease and bathed in sugar a.k.a. cookies, cakes, doughnuts, malasadas and bread. We consume French fries, which produce cancer-causing acrylamides due to oil being heated very high. Also, when these frying oils are exposed to oxygen, rancidity occurs.
Then, we eat various chips cooked in rancid oils and if they are corn chips the likelihood of that corn being a GMO is very high.
How does this take its toll?
In 2003, Americans spent $117 billion on obesity related costs. Each year about 300,000 Americans die from fat related causes. We spend an estimated $50 billion a year on weight loss things. Three year olds are targeted for junk food advertisements. McDonalds spent $500 million on one ad campaign while the National Cancer Institute, which gets large donations from large meat packing companies, spends about $1 million a year to promote fruits and vegetables.
Last but not least, the Hawaii chapter of the American Heart Association at their "Heart Ball" serves prime rib, filet mignon, veal and chicken to raise money to find a cure for heart disease.
Talk about theater of the absurd!
So, where do you turn to?
The government won't help you because elected officials still want to receive their campaign contributions from the corporations that keep us sick. The media won't help you because they don't want to lose advertising dollars from all the restaurants and food items that keep us sick.
So, like I said, where do you turn to?
You turn to your intelligence!
You avoid all those things that you see advertised and you do the opposite.
You go vegan. You eliminate flesh foods, eggs and milk products; you eliminate all processed foods with their cancer causing sodium nitrites, brain destroying MSG, and artificial sweeteners like aspartame with its formaldehyde forming qualities.
You eliminate all sugary foods, you eliminate all refined grains, you eliminate foods with large ingredient lists, you eat only or at least mostly organically grown food and above all YOU READ LABELS. I am in the process of putting together a list of the "things" that are put into foods to basically make them taste good and extend shelf life. But for now, feast on this.
Based upon deceptive labeling, commercial food marketers assume that the average consumer shops like a robot, buying what he/she has been conditioned to buy.
Take a look at sugar. Okay, so it causes insulin spikes in the blood, which is bad for your artery walls and contributes to the formation of plaque; it converts alkalinity to acidity; it increases inflammation; it depletes minerals; it alters moods. The bad news: this is just the tip of the iceberg.
But, when sugar is preceded by "naturally milled", or "organic evaporated cane juice", we say, "that's what I want because it's healthy." Gotcha! It's like saying, would you like organic fluoride or artificial fluoride in your drinking water? Gotcha again.
When a food is processed it virtually has no flavor. So, along comes the knight in shining armor riding his MSG horse.
Who cares if MSG causes obesity by tripling the amount of insulin the pancreas creates? Who cares if MSG, an excitotoxin, causes brain cells to die? Who cares if MSG and aspartame have the potential to lead that brain damage to Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease? Who cares if it's those artificial flavorings that make that bland, tasteless, synthetic, so-called, "food" taste yummy? Gotcha!
But these deceivers know that if a label said MSG or aspartame, lots of people wouldn't buy it. The horror of all those lost profits.
So, they euphemize it in baby foods and formulas, beef stock, beef jerky, beverages, bouillon cubes, candy, canned soups, cheese, chewing gum, chicken stock, BBQ sauce, salad dressings, cookies, crackers, frozen dinners, frozen seafood, ice cream, in the seasoning package of instant noodles, medications, potato chips, processed meats, flavored tortilla chips, vegetable stock, vitamin enriched foods, cosmetics, cleaning agents, shampoos, hair mousses, gels, conditioners, lotions, soaps, and toothpastes. Oh yeah, The Fraud and Drug Administration says that aspartame does not have to be labeled.
NutraSweet, Equal, Saccharin, Sweet'N Low, Sugar Twin, Sucralose aka Splenda, are all aspartame with Splenda having the rare distinction of being created from ammonia.
Somehow, MSG has become anything hydrolyzed, modified, or texturized. It has become vegetable protein extract, yeast extract, autolyzed yeast, torula yeast, sodium caseinate, wheat extract, maltodextrin, calcium caseinate, monopotassium glutamate, glutamic acid, and gelatin. It has become malted barley, barley malt, malt extract, caramel flavoring, carrageenan, whey protein, pectin, soy protein, sauce or extract, and those are GMOs as well.
But wait, there's more MSG : cornstarch (GMO), dextrose, dextrin, flowing agents, corn, wheat, rice or oat protein, anything enriched or fortified, rice syrup, brown rice syrup, citric acid when processed from corn (and GMO as well), milk powder, dry milk solids, protein fortified milk, Annatto, spice, and guar gum.
And, brands such as Accent, Kombu Extract, Subu, Ajinomoto, Lawry's Seasoning Salt, Vestin, Chinese Seasonings, Gourmet Powder, Spike, and Adobo Salt? Without a freaking doubt!
So, how do they get you to buy it? In pretty pink, yellow or blue packaging, by saying Lo-Cal, or "Convenient", by saying "in small amounts", or "don't worry, it's not absorbed", or "there is no conclusive research proving they are bad", or "you won't gain weight from this". What they won't say is, "if you continue buying this we will get our huge Christmas bonuses".
Keep one thing in mind: if you like the taste of artificial sweeteners, you've got problems. Humor me - lay off the artificial sweeteners for a few weeks and eat more natural whole foods. Then eat'm again. It will make your hair stand on end.
This is our world. Reduce the population so the people that really matter can enjoy more of the resources; sell more chemicals to make the food taste better and preserve shelf life, and hope nobody finds out.
So, for you non-vegetarians, I have a question. Based upon the reality of what you just read, would you really eat the following product?
LEAN CUISINE - GLAZED CHICKEN
Cooked chicken tenderloins, high fructose corn syrup (GMO), water, corn oil (GMO), modified cornstarch (MSG and GMO), lemon juice concentrate, sodium phosphates (whaaat?), salt, caramel color (MSG), potassium chloride (whaaat?), garlic, onion, paprika, spice (MSG), water, blanched enriched long grain parboiled rice (water, rice, iron, niacin, thiamin, mononitrate, folic acid (and GMO), green beans, mushrooms, onions, 2% or less of blanched wild rice (MSG), modified cornstarch (GMO and MSG), sugar, salt, cultured whey (MSG), chicken fat, lemon juice concentrate, caramel color (MSG), dehydrated onions, spices (MSG), dehydrated garlic, paprika. Contains milk products.
Who in their right mind would eat this alleged food?
Like I said, turn to your intelligence and avoid all those things that you see advertised.
Keep it simple; cook from scratch; eat organic; live a long life and fight to stay healthy, keep away from doctors and prescription meds and vaccines; exercise regularly, use organic sulfur crystals to detox what you've been poisoning your body with all your life and rejuvenate your cells back to their healthy, natural state. Oh yeah, and if man made it, don't eat it.
Aloha!
About the author:
I have been doing a weekly radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called "Health Talk". In 2007 I was "forced" to get a Masters degree in Nutrition because of all the doctors that would call in asking for my credentials. They do not call in anymore. Going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com enables you, among other things, to listen to the shows. I am an activist. In addition to espousing an organic vegan diet for optimum health, I am strongly opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation and everything else that the pimps (Big Pharma, Monsanto and the large food companies) and the hookers (the doctors, the government agencies, the public health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the tricks.
After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child I developed asthma. After taking the organic sulfur crystals (they are harvested from the pine trees in Louisiana) in November of 2008 for 10 days my asthma reversed and has not come back over 4 years later, 18 cases, so far, of autism have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, joint pain, astigmatism, gum disease, increased sexual activity, heavy metal and radiation elimination, parasite elimination, free radicals elimination, faster athletic recovery time, increased blood circulation, reduced inflammation, resistance to getting the flu, reduction of wrinkles, allergy reduction, reduced PMS and monthly period pain, nausea, migraines and so much more. And it's only possible because of the oxygen it releases that floods the cells of the body. The sulfur, as proven by the University of Southampton in England, enables the body to produce vitamin B12 and the essential amino acids. You can find out more about this incredible nutrient also on my website - www.healthtalkhawaii.com -.
