I am old enough to remember the sweetener wars of the 1970's.  The very real tests that said "aspartame" Equal was unsafe was swept under the rug....I remember the pictures of tumor covered rats.  Also swept under the rug were so many tests that said dyes were toxic. The FDA had betrayed us.  Have you lately seen/eaten a chicken breast lately that was the size of the turkey breast?  Blame genetic engineering. What about the prevalence of gluten sensitivities?  Did you know that present wheat bread has 300 times the gluten that the bread of the 1950's (Grain Brain) had due to genetic engineering? Besides that, how long does a loaf of bread last?  I remember when 2 days and it was moldy.  Now, a week or two and it doesn't mold, but it smells like chemicals.  Makes you wonder what is in the bread.  As Cyrus Thomson says it's really hard to avoid the chemicals  that the US government is allowing to be put on our shelves.  It's time to wake up...especially if you have children.  Feed them fresh fruit and veggies and meat, eggs, cheese (not the processed kind with sawdust in it.)  and even doing this, you will be eating genetically engineered food.  Just try to avoid the poison in our food. Paleo may be the way to go.  This book is a simple wake up call.  Forget the processed yellow margarine and go back to butter!  If it is man made food it is probably not good for you.
