USA _ Letter
Let's contact the FDA
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acts like the Federal Deceptive Agency. Although instituted to ensure the health of the American people, it devotes its time to looking after the welfare of special interests.
Not long ago ground-up dead cattle were allowed to be fed to live cattle as a source of protein. I believe blood products from dead cattle are still allowed to be mixed with feed.
Hormones were given to dairy cows so they could produce more milk than intended by Mother Nature. This caused infected udders which produced milk containing pus. Well now, we can't have pus in our milk so the dairy cows were injected with antibiotics, so now we can drink milk tinged with antibiotics.
Food is shipped into this country that has been grown in soil fertilized with human waste. Our food is often saturated with chemical weed killers and pesticides, and for some reason that defies logic, we are expected to consume this poison.
The tube of Crest toothpaste which I have in front of me contains the warning, "Keep out of reach of children 6 yrs. of age. If more than used for brushing is accidently swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away." That's because fluoride, an active ingredient in most toothpaste, is a poison.
We are fortunate here in Pahrump, but most communities on a central water supply have fluoride added to their drinking water. It is added to the drinking water pumped from Lake Mead. It's one thing to have fluoride applied to the surface of teeth, but why would you want to drink the stuff?
Allowing hydrogenated oils to be an ingredient in much of what we buy at the supermarket is probably the worst offense against Americans' health allowed by the FDA. Research shows that these oils, originally developed to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life, when consumed over time have probably caused millions of Americans to become ill and are probably the underlying cause of many deaths.
We are told to eat organic foods because they are healthy, yet only a small amount of the products available in our stores is organic. If organic equates to healthy food, then what do we call the other stuff that's for sale? OK, but not as healthy as it could be? Years ago all food was organic, we simply called it food.
If organic means the healthiest, then we need to demand more organic products from the store managers. We need to see more items labeled with no hydrogenated oils and no trans-fat.
Most packaging lists a point of contact. We can also express our thoughts to Congress and, of course, the FDA. It's time they looked after the needs of the people.

Depressing that there are so many terrible things wrong with our society.
