I am genuinely pissed off! Seriously and completely. My life has been steeped in this garbage people call food, and its creation is solely driven by corporate greed and disregard for human health. The so-called "expert" food scientists have basically made guinea pigs of us all for decades, and the government is in the pocket of the food and restaurant industry.
Why aren't you mad that the food chain is literally being poisoned? I'm serious here. People are getting sicker and dying all the time:
mad cow - caused by corporate greed [feeding livestock to each other and illegally selling sick livestock]
bacterial poisoning (e. coli and salmonella) - caused by corporate greed [feeding livestock cheap crap to make them fatter]
rampant obesity - caused by corporate greed [corn syrup!]
And now I learn that chickens themselves are being turned into corn-based bad fat makers. It's bad enough that cows have been turned into cholesterol bombs that breed deadly bacteria, whose manure poisons our water supply and vegetables! Do you realize there was a time in the not-so-distant past when beef and eggs weren't "bad for you"? How is this not unbelievably enraging? We're basically paying agribusiness to kill us.
I won't deny that I'm passionate about food. And it's getting harder and harder to bear more and more news every single day that mass food production is becoming worse and worse for humanity and worse for all the species of plants and animals we're supposed to be cultivating for our consumption. There are going to be ten billion people in the world in a relatively short time, and there will be no real food to feed them with. This is all bad, bad, bad news.
