thanks for sharing.
as Dr. Mercola puts it : Sugar feeds cancer . in order for cancers to grow, they need to use sugar as it is ( unlike healthy tissues which can "make" sugar from fat).
we need to avoid sugar as much as possible...

I love all these foods too their just so expensive! I'm definatly going to make room for them though!

Scary! How can I avoid that store chain of meat too? Can you share it with me?

Ugh! I am a bit anxious in case I am one of their customers and I try my very best to eat healthy, as much as my purse can afford.

I also don't believe the FDA is flawless and I know there are many unscrupulous companies out there, just concerned about making money. I bet the workers don't even buy their own meat for their consumption. I don't want to be a victim!

i DO hope that anyone who thinks that it is impossible for the FDA to be flawed is joking. i would not trust the FDA if they were telling the truth.

somewhere else i mentioned that i used to work for a meat company. this was this incident one time where the FDA shut down a major store's meat packing section. that store ended up moving their packing to another state where the FDA was not as powerful.

the reason the store's meat packing section was shut down? -- every morning when the meat was cut the butchers would let all the blood drain out of the meat. 10 - 15 hours later, after the maggots and flies had their way with the meat, the butchers would package the meat, injecting dyes into it to get the colour back to red.

then the company got raided by the FDA, shut down, and moved away for a number of years.

do you REALLY think that they stopped their meat packing process in the state they moved to? yeah right! i don't and have not bought from that store chain ever since -- and that has been since 1980.
