Health - Killer Profits

I've read a lot of about nutrition over the years but the accountant in me was blown away by this video.

Did you know that most breast cancer is environmental not genetic?  
Did you know that tests have not been done for the new proteins that have been introduced into food production since the 1990s, and food allergies have increased exponentially?  
That these created proteins are not allowed in Europe, Australia, New Zealand or Japan.
That if you move to the United States you are four times more likely to get cancer?
(Think there's a connection?)
Did you know Starbucks spends more on health care costs than they do on coffee?

Got your attention?  I knew we were getting sicker as a nation despite improved health care but I never understood why.  Taking the 15 minutes to watch this video might change the way you shop forever.

 

I'm not sure about the plug for Erin Brockovich but the money trail makes perfect sense.  

I've been meaning to post more nutrition blogs since my first blog on the concern over Soy.  This is the motivation I needed.  I will start outlining what we do nutritionally and what the logic was behind our decisions.  

The more I learn, the more I want to have a farm of my own and grow all my own food.
