Dead Food in plastic lined cardboard coffins

It has been said that over 90% of all the foods consumed in America are now genetically altered, processed, fortified and enriched with synthesized (fake) vitamins and minerals.
Back in 1936, there was a senate document 264 addressing how the soils were depleted of minerals. Dr. Charles Northern was concerned because plant foods no longer provided the minerals essential to humans health. If it was bad back then, imagine how bad it is now.

Chemicals in the food eaten in USA 

According to National Geographic and the EPA, there are more than 3,000 chemicals added to our food supply. These include preservatives, pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, chemicals, steroids, hormones, and food dyes. Pesticide residues are present in 50-95% of the food consumed in the United States. The U.S uses 30 times more synthetic pesticides today than in 1945. Commercial farmlands are over-farmed, undernourished, and are deficient in minerals and microbes.
The result is 40-60% LESS nutrient value from fruits and vegetables then just 30 years ago. This requires eating more food to get daily required nutrients. Americans may be one of the most overfed and undernourished nations in the world.Our soils are depleted and do not produce nutrient-rich plants. Crops produced in depleted soils are more prone to the invasion of insects, viruses, and fungi. Infectious organisms were designed to get rid of unhealthy vegetation and they do not typically attack truly healthy plants.

Speculated effects of genetically altered food 

Genetically modified plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. There is a growing concern that introducing foreign genes into food plants may have a negative impact on human health. Many children have developed life-threatening allergies to peanuts and other foods. Does this suggest that there is a possibility that introducing a gene into a plant may create a new allergen or cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals.

This ingredient in processed foods not friendly 

Most processed foods are loaded with MSG (Monosodium Glutamate). Disguised by over 250 different names like hydrolyzed vegetable protein, textured protein, flavorings, and tenderizers, MSG is a neurotoxin. It is an anti-appetite suppressant. It is highly addictive and affects the same receptors in the brain as Valium. It stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin.

Some of the diseases associated with MSG are:

ADHD, ALS, Asthma, Autism, Depression, Diabetes (type 1 and 2), High Blood Pressure, , Migraine, Myopia, Obesity Heat Stroke, and Tinnitus.

Some of the systems of the body that are affected by MSG:

Allergic Response, Nervous System, Blood Vessels and Pressure, Brain, Digestive, Endocrine, Hearing, Heart Rate, Hypoglycemia, Hypothalamus, lungs, Pancreas, Thyroid, and Vision.

And of course, some of the ingredients that are now being used to manufacture MSG are coming from GMO sources. Generically Modified Organisms are discusses above.

What else are they adding to processed foods? 

Federal health officials granted approval of first viruses as a food additive. This mixture of bacteria killing viruses that can be sprayed on cold cuts, hot dogs and sausages to combat common microbes that kill hundreds of people a year. The combination of six viruses is designed to be sprayed on ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, including sliced ham and turkey and consumers won't be aware that these products have been treated with the spray containing these viruses which are grown in preparation of the same bacteria they kill.

A similar product is being prepared to be sprayed on beef for e-coli. The consumer won't be informed about any of the spraying. Just in case there is a problem, the drug companies have already started developmening vaccines to fight the bacteria if it should cause infections in people.

These bacteria have not been studies for their effects on human beings. There is no plan in effect to test. There are no plans to require labeling of products containing this bacteria.

So what about using plastic to store water and food in 

"Bisphenol A (BPA) is a compound in plastics used in plastic. In the U.S. alone more than 2.3 billion pounds (1.04 million metric tons) of the stuff is manufactured annually.

Since at least 1936 it has been known that BPA mimics estrogens, binding to the same receptors throughout the human body as natural female hormones. Some of the side effects that have showed up in research test show that the chemical can promote human breast cancer cell growth as well as decrease sperm count in rats. Studies have also shown that BPA leaches from plastics and resins when they are exposed to hard use or high temperatures (as in microwaves or dishwashers)."
