It's about each individual. Not about banning foods or anything. Just "food for thought."


What you essentially posted was a propaganda piece, I think on reading this surely some will hesitate to buy tomatoes in a can or corn-fed beef, or apples - I know it wasn't your intent, but you're assisting fear-mongering. It isn't about the indiviuadal, it's about the facts, and the fact is that many of these simply don't hold up under inspection and people shouldn't be buying more expensive food for fear of essentially being poisoned. There are some concerns on these matters, some of them at least, but these products represent no significant danger, and to say otherwise is, well, not appropriate. People should make up their own minds, but not under a pall of fear.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
