I look forward to more people being aware of what we are eating. I know we are MAKING cancer and all the other dis-eases because we are not awake to how damaging our whole food system of industrialized factory farms is. We have swine flu because of the way we treat them, pigs that is..... there is CORN www.michaelpollan.com in everything that is available in the supermarket. We have leaky gut syndrome just the same as those poor cows who have to eat a mushed up CORN stalks which they would never eat in nature...artificial fertilizers have ruined our health now for almost 100 years. Synthetic nitrogen was invented in 1913 I think, you can look it up on WIKEPEDIA... good luck and many blessings to everyone reading this.
