You would think in this age of freedom we would have a choice on what foods we can eat. Most people think “of course we do!”

Nothing can be further from the truth.

When you go into a grocery store you see 10,000’s of items. Though the numbers are great, the quality and healthful benefits are minimal; extremely minimal.

So what if there are 1000’s of packaged foods, prepared foods, canned foods & bottled products. It all falls into 1 category: JUNK.

So, you decide to go to the fresh meat and seafood section. Nearly every product is farmed raised, filled with hormones, antibiotics & many other carcinogens. Where’s the choice?

Now you’re really frustrated so you rush over to fresh produce. What do you find? GMO’s, veggies & fruits loaded with pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers which amount to nutritionally depleted foods.

So you wander over to the organic section. In most stores the choice is pathetic and in many there isn’t an organic piece of fruit to be found.

You say to yourself “But, I need my protein” so you hurry over to dairy products. This isn’t getting any better. You find nothing but pasteurized products filled with hormones & chemicals. Even the organic dairy products are pasteurized & homogenized. So, where are the real milk, real cheese, real cream and butter? There isn’t any. The FDA tells us raw milk products are harmful, unhealthy and no one should ever consume them.

The FDA does not allow us to make a choice regarding food freedom.

In a response to the suit filed by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund

--There’s no absolute right to any raw unprocessed food, unless the FDA says it’s okay.
--There’s no right to good health, except as approved by the FDA.
--There’s no right for citizens to contract privately for their food.

This is what the FDA has perpetuated upon us.

The FDA ‘thinks’ they got it right. The only thing the FDA has is the backing of Big Ag & Big Pharma to keep us sick, unhealthy and restrict our choice of food.
