Corporations are Trying To Kill you With Fast Food
Not only was it bad enough that giant food corporations like McDonald's, Sysco, and Monsanto were contributing to the deaths of millions by way of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease . . . they are now on a rampage of adding new and dangerous chemicals to their products that can cause serious harm and even eventual death!
Please! Before you go out and eat another cheese burger, read the ingredients list. It is posted on the website, or easily googled. Now here is your homework assignment: Take any ingredients you don't recognize and research them. What you will discover will shock and dismay you. Let me get you started . . .

This is just in a BigMac. I have also done this before with the Chicken Mcnuggets, which are just as alarming. I would advise strongly against ingesting any kind of fast food in general, but recently the chemicals allowed into fast food have gotten worse thanks to the Codex Alimentarius. If you have not heard of this, it is an international code of standards for food and other products. It tells large corporations what substances and at what concentrations are safe for consumers. However, the codex is informed directly by the United Nations and the WHO, both of which have strong ties to major multinational corporations. Just as the history repeats itself, what the corporations in the U.S. have done through the USDA and the FDA, the Codex Alimentarius allows the larger world wide corporations to do: Essentially govern and regulate themselves, by their own standards.
The largest and most profitable industry in the U.S. and on the world scale, unless you count WAR, is the production and sale of pharmaceutical grade drugs. Some of these drugs are safe for human consumption and some are really dangerous. What is certain is that many of these drugs are preservatives, emulsifier, surfactants, and other useful chemicals for industry, that allow them to keep products on the shelves longer, and thus to make more money. Unfortunately for us, the consumer, many of these useful chemicals are really dangerous for us to ingest. Here is where the FDA, USDA, and Codex come in. . .
At first, they tell us the truth, so we trust them and give them authority, then they begin de-regulating industry, and dropping certain health and safety standards, so they can use these dangerous chemicals in their products without us being the wiser. If the FDA says it is safe, then it must be, right? Absolutely not! Not at this point. Most of the senior officials at the FDA and the USDA have worked for the largest corporations, like our good friend Monsanto. In fact, they could be seen at this point to be a direct branch of the multinational corporations they represent.
The same is true of the Codex Alimentarius, but on a much larger scale. It does however, trickle down to the level of the FDA and USDA, because these regulatory agencies draw on the Codex to derive their own product standards.
The scary part is . . . they don't give a fuck about us. That's right, in fact many of the world's elite and those in charge of writing these standards, the heads of these giant corporations, are outspoken about the fact that they believe the world is over-populated. Not only that, but that the over-population of the planet, is their most pressing concern. They tell us that the optimum global population would be roughly 1/2 Billion humans. This concern is already being dealt with through the use of the Codex, amongst other methods.
By progressively deregulating the corporations that make most of our consumer goods, and then actually even recommending chemicals that can now be used as deregulation goes into effect, Codex ensures that these chemicals will be included in our food, shampoos, lotions, and countless other products.
Just keep an eye on it. . . the first time I noticed it was on the back label of a snickers bar I bought in 2009, when the first wave of Codex deregulation took effect. There were a couple of new chemicals tacked on to the list of ingredients in the candy bar. So, I researched them, and found out the damaging effects. Needless to say, I do not consume processed candy, foods, or use synthetic products when I can avoid it at all.
The best advice I can give is that we should all consume strictly locally produced, Organic, and fair trade products. This may literally save your life to take this advice to heart. It may be difficult for some of us to transition to this life style, but let me assure you, it has numerous benefits. Besides staying fit and healthy, most if not all major health concerns disappear quickly. There is a wealth of evidence for this fact.
So next time McDonalds, Wendys, or any other shitty tells you their products are a healthy, balanced food-like product, safe for you to consume . . . tell them to shuv it.
