Seven Foods to Avoid
From Shine
Canned Tomatoes
The lining contains bisphenol-A, which acts as an estrogen. Men, it will shrink your balls.
Eat fresh or from glass jars.
Corn-fed Beef
Cows should eat grass. By feeding cows corn, agribusiness created deadly E. Coli O157:H7, and made beef less nutritious. And our current system completely abuses animals.

I think it's okay to eat animals. I think it is immoral to abuse them. They should be raised well, and killed as humanely as possible before consumption.
Microwaved Popcorn
It will ruin your lungs and give you cancer.
Non-organic Potatoes
They absorb too many pesticides.
Farmed Salmon
They are fed an unnatural diet and dosed with chemicals.
Hormoned Milk
Basically avoid any hormones your body doesn't produce itself.
Apples
They're full of pesticides.
Our modern food system seems to be a miracle. We have literally bent our "swords into plowshares" by turning the bombs (nitrogen used for building bombs was used as fertilizer) and biological (pesticides were originally made to poison humans) weapons of war into farm implements. But we have been irresponsible with these weapons. As a result, our drinking water, soil, and air are full of toxins, and we are polluting them at an increasing rate.

Amen. (But apples? Bummer. I want to grow some myself.)
ReplyDeleteIf you grow them they won't have pesticide residues, obviously.
