Organic Consumers Association

I received an e-mail newsletter this morning that is full of valuable information about our food  from the Organic Consumers Association Organic Consumers Association

More and more we are going to have to look for alternatives to the packaged, processed foods we are being sold in supermarkets. Eating as close to the source will be important as genetically altered strains of wheat, pesticides, and chemical additives become increasingly insidious ingredients  that are used to enhance flavor, not nutrition. Our children are being bombarded by products that appear to be food, but have very little nutritious value, and are often filled with ingredients that are indigestible. The increase in celiac disease, autism, weight gain, and many other dis-eases that have appeared in the past twenty years may be attributed in part to the adulteration of our food supply in pursuit of greater profits and addicting consumers through chemicals that appeal to taste buds.

An old saying is once again very timely: BUYER BEWARE! The antidote: Become Informed!
