Coffee creamer..
Cancer in a cup.
First meat and cancer.. Hot dogs and human DNA.. And. Now the sacred cow and holy grail of Halloween buckets across the world: Sugary candy..
From TIME:
“
But proving that the rise of the chronic diseases was actually linked to higher sugar consumption is a challenge. Dr. Robert Lustig, from the department of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, who has made a name for himself publishing books and research addressing the question of sugar’s effects on the body, wanted clearer answers. Now, in a paper published Tuesday, he and his colleagues believe they have come up with the definitive evidence that sugar, as Lustig says, “is toxic.”
”
Of course this isn’t the first time sugar has made the don’t eat list.. Katie Couric gave us a sugar free challenge a year ago.
But this week the war on food, or at least food-lite, is evident..
Go veg.
The food war is about to get mean..
A WHO report is going to label certain processed meats to be as bad as smoking..
The food industry is fighting back early.
While industry groups are preparing for a damaging blow to consumer confidence as a result, The North American Meat Institute (Nami) has accused the IARC of “dramatic and alarmist over-reach,” CNBC reported.
Nami president Barry Carpenter said: “Red and processed meats are among 940 substances reviewed by IARC found to pose some level of theoretical ‘hazard’.
“Only one substance, a chemical in yoga pants, has been declared by IARC not to cause cancer,” he claimed.
Yoga pants.
Meat.
And the food industry:
It’s about to get mean.
People should have listened to the tin foil crazies years ago.. they may have had some stronger sperm about now.. eat organic or have less kids I suppose..
Monsanto may get the WHO to retract the Roundup cancer link study, I don’t know but they are not going to do anything to win the hearts and minds of the purchasing public with performances like this..
I get the sense that Monsanto is about to change its tune.. Get ready for a stunningly amazing PR campaign for complete public acceptance of GMO food.
The FOOD BABE army vs the chemical companies.. the fight is on..
NEW YORK — Coca-Cola is working with fitness and nutrition experts who suggest its soda as a treat at a time when the world’s biggest beverage maker is being blamed for helping to fuel obesity rates
I just gulped a bit when I read this..
In the 1950s, doctors advertised smoking.
In the 2000teens, doctors will harp on the benefits of sugary drinks?
Sorry Coke, but THIS:
The future is bright..and fresh and cold. But if you’re like me you’re both anticipating the amazing ability of a just in time future of groceries but also completely creeped out by the logical and negative conclusions of the brave new world. Get ready for your future. GMO automatically delivered when your smart fridge decides….
Monsanto just got a new bow-tie wearing fan..
What gives?
Something..
This is shocking.
It’s the first time McDonalds has admitted to actually using CHICKEN.
I kid, I kid..
This is a good first step though.. now if they take the REST of the plastic and garbage out of their product, we will get somewhere.
Food CAN BE fast. And healthy.. It is just up to consumers to demand it. Thanks to the FOOD BABE and others like her, it’s happening..
Let’s label this the DE-CRAPPENING.
Just when your body thought it was safe, this comes along: Cap’n Crunch and Taco Bell are teaming up for a gooey new dessert. My stomach nearly turned to rot when I read the headline alone..
Call me a bit of a paranoid conspiracy theorist, but when I see articles critical of people who are attempting to get a little healthier and eat better, all I can think of is some sugar-selling CEO from ‘Name your GMO company’ giving talking points to clueless reporters just trying to get a clickbait article to go viral.
Now excuse me while I finish my sauteed kale over baked chicken..
Since the 80s the entire program was turned to waste. Nothing improved even with newer guidelines. The sugar industry had too much say… sick examples are presented here when the Daily Mail compares the US school lunches to cash strapped nation…
PBS series ‘Food Forward’ centers on one question: How did something as fundamental as food go so fundamentally wrong?
Looks like a good documentary..
I hope the information presented will occur. I want my generation and the one coming after me to make food better, healthier, fresher, and cleaner..
It’s a hope.
