I am becoming more and more concerned about what is happening to our food supply.  While dangerous food used to consist of too much salt or sugar, food as a whole is being changed on the molecular level, irradiated and mixed in with what used to be good for you.  Big corporations have leashed the watch dogs that are supposed to keep things safe for us and there is such a PR blitz that most people believe what is happening is for our good.

I have never been an alarmist or one to raise my voice in contention.  Those are the people who get shot at.  It’s hard enough to spend twice as much for an organic something that looks like the other stuff on the shelf.  Yet there’s a nagging feeling in my gut that if we don’t wake up to what is happening now, our bodies are going to rebel and it will be too late.

Because of this growing conviction, I am making more and more Squidoo lenses about our food supply and the changing world around us.  Maybe my skin is growing thicker or maybe I want my grandchildren to have something worth eating on their table.  Whatever the reason, I am angry that the powers that be decided it is ok to put things on my grocery store shelves that I don’t feel comfortable eating and didn’t have the deciency to even label it as different. That is wrong and it’s time to stand up and be counted against it.
