However, the multinational agribusinesses and their banking backers have made out like bandits at the expense of the proletariat. Why can't Africa feed itself? Because the continent is run by Western bankers and their indigenous collaborators, and these psychopaths care not how much human misery they cause. Africa can't feed itself because of the indigenous political corruption. It is a continent run by thugs, ever the consequence of tribal societies that do not have a clue about democratic institutions and free enterprise capitalism.

The FDA sets compliance guidelines limiting the amount of contaminants in food, but allows a percentage of mold, parasites, rodent hairs, animal droppings (feces), insect droppings (feces), insect parts, insect eggs maggots, whole insects, sand and grit, sticks and stones, and even cigarette butts. *A small percent Ed might counter. *Well, think again. *A University of Ohio fact study estimates that on average a person consumes from one to two pounds of insects each year, without even knowing it. So much for the FDA and Food, but what about drugs, Ed might say? Well, Fen Phen, Redux, Seldane, Posicor, Duract, Hismanal, Rezulin, Propulsid, Lotronex, Raplon, Baycol, and Raxar are the so-called dirty dozen drugs that the FDA pulled from the market from 1997 to 2001 because they caused a whole bunch of problems, all of which had lawsuits attached to them. In some cases, these medicines were on the market for over twenty years, which seems way to long after known health adverse reactions occurred. Some of these adverse reactions only took months to get the medicines removed. [...] More of the same on and on. Unlike Ed, I don't state opinions as though they were facts. *Unlike Ed, I corroborate my statements. *When I argue, I cite facts and I have cited enough facts above to indicate that Ed's faith in the FDA is questionable. I can see you are well underway to becoming a crackpot on food and health issues. This is a fate that often befalls those who for the first time in their lives feel threatened by their own mortality. Have fun! It might make a difference on the margin, but I doubt it. You are blind to research concerning food and health because you are too lazy to take the time to become informed and enlightened ...ever the the choice of the ignorant. The bottom line is that no one will listen to you because you lack the necessary credentials. If you ever start proselytizing, you could become dangerous and a menace to others. Well NO ... the bottom line is that people are more likely to listen to someone like myself who cites others with credential than to listen to someone like yourself who is devoid of credential and who refuses to avail himself published research states opinion not based on fact without any attempt to corroborate his errant statements.

America badly needs a single payer system like they have in Canada and the UK. However, some folks still believe that health care is NOT a right! Diversion duly noted. Healthcare is expensive everywhere, but the point was that the food we eat contributes to good or bad health and when bad, inflates health care costs . Lots of other factors contribute to poor health besides what foods we eat.. Attempted diversion duly noted. Yes, other factors also contribute to poor health but that does not contradict the point that my statement made ... that the food that we eat contributes to good or bad health and when bad, inflates health care costs, I might add that your beloved governmental powers that be, including your beloved FDA do not ensure the safety of the food that you consume. Allow me to just touch briefly on just chickens and eggs for example... Four studies implementing a plant-based diet and exercise following prostate cancer diagnosis found a decrease in prostate cancer progression rates. Drugs are given to chickens to combat parasites that thrive in factory farming conditions. Chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects have been found in eggs and chicken portions. The chemical residue from drugs given to chickens are regarded as too dangerous for use in human medicine. Sloppy farming methods and inadequate checks by government officials had allowed them to get into the food chain. The drugs include nicarbazin, known to cause birth defects and hormonal problems in animals, and lasalocid, linked to heart problems. A third drug, dimetridazole (DMZ), has never been properly evaluated, but there are concerns it can cause birth defects and cancer. Some of the drugs are also said to interfere with the working of prescription medicines. The Government insisted there was no risk. Close to 20 per cent of chicken livers and 10 per cent of the eggs checked in government tests contained residues of the drugs. That amounts to 160 million affected chickens sold in the last 12 months and 985 million eggs. Nicarbazin has been found above recommended levels in 18 per cent of chicken livers. In one sample, the level was 50 times higher. Nicarbazin was also in 2 per cent of eggs. Lasalocid is not licensed for laying hens, however it was found in 8.5 per cent of sampled egg batches and 12 per cent of chicken muscle samples. DMZ was in 0.5 per cent of eggs despite the fact it is not allowed in feed given to laying hens. As concerns your often cited assertion that one should eat a variety of food in moderation, I have contended that some food should not be consumed even in moderation and especially foods know to be particularly harmful to person with certain afflictions. In one study, approximately 1300 men diagnosed with prostate cancer were followed for two years to document their dietary patterns and recurrence or progression of their disease. In this study, two specific animal foods were found to be risky - the men that ate the most eggs or poultry with skin were twice as likely to have their disease recur or progress. This study makes three important points. 1. Diet DOES MATTER (Despite your claim to the contrary), even after a prostate cancer diagnosis 2. There is something in chicken, specifically in the crispy outer portion and skin that is powerfully cancer-inducing. Heterocyclic amines, carcinogenic compounds that are formed when meat is cooked at high temperatures, are a probable culprit. A November 2009 study of 175,000 men showed an increase in prostate cancer risk with consumption of barbequed and grilled meat. 3. Consumption of eggs and egg whites is not without risk. Eggs are high in animal protein, which has been linked to cancers. Our populations’ idea that more protein is favorable and that egg (whites) are the perfect food does not hold up to scrutiny. Eggs also could affect prostate cancer due to their high choline content – egg consumption increases the amount of choline in the plasma, and high plasma choline increases prostate cancer risk. I have friend in the UK and if you really want decent health care you have to still pay out of pocket. *My friend couldn't even get a routine PSA test approved in the UK. A primary care doctor will determine what is routine and what is not routine, not the patient. WRONG again! A patient needs to assume a role in his or her health care. A PSA test is considered fairly routine In the US and certain other Western countries In the UK, neither the patient nor the doctor determine what is "routine". The socialized medicine bureaucracy makes that determination Do you every take the time and/or make the effort to familiarize yourself with the facts before seizing the opportunity to run your mouth and embarrass yourself in a public forum? Stating something as fact when such statement contradicts the fact is ludicrous, but you do so like play the role of clown. Health care in the UK is not all it is cracked up to be. I know nothing though about how well implemented in places like Cananda or Sweden, Americans want way too much when it comes to health care. All we have a right to is garden variety health care. I your not so humble opinion you forgot to add. But the problem is that even garden variety health care is expensive. It need not be as is proven by the VA health care system. The VA health care system is a government run taxpayer subsidized heathcare system. It may appear inexpensive to your the veteran, but in reality it is not. Will you ever get up to speed or are we destined to listen to you dogmatically lecture ex cathedra regarding topics you know little about. One of your most annoying traits is your insistence to speak with "authority" regarding things about which you know little and about which you have no intention to learn anything more. Is this the measure of your alleged greatness? You are a piece of work. Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Even Tom Sherman has come to that conclusion. Putting word in Tom's mouth now are you? If you are not here for your own personal amusement, then you know next to nothing about human nature.

In real life I would not give you the time of day, nor you me. *The beauty of Usenet is that total strangers can confront one another in an unfriendly fashion, something you do not have a clue about. Tom Sherman is far more up to speed on Usenet than you. Say the myopic visionary., the Internet and Usenet are not all about confrontation. You have never enjoyed Usenet. Oh, but I do. I just don;t enjoy trolls like you and by now you should realize that I am not alone in that respect. It is why you should leave. Trolls are who sholdu leave. You want friendly personal relationships even in cyber space. No, but on topic civility is not to much to ask. I don't. I want confrontation and animosity. Exactly and that;s what all trolls want. I love to kick ass on Usenet. In cowardly fashion, at a distance from behind a monitor and keyboard. Just ask Tom Sherman. We are in a contest to see if his dumb ass is harder than my foot.
