Today's Topic: I'd like to continue the Red Dye #3 discussion but expand on it and see if anyone would like to comment. I posted this YouTube video in the red dye #3 thread. It's about 5 minutes long and I found it very interesting and believable. Politics aside which we never discuss here on GoaD this video is somewhat disturbing for today's food consumption/consumers.

This YouTube appeared about 3 months ago from RFK Jr. I found it to be eye opening.

    I've now seen this video about 3 times but due to being pretty busy I've just finding it hard to police every label but DW and I have been concentrating for quite sometime on no GMO ingredients. Then they changed that to bioengineered ingredients. So if it does have bioengineered products on the label we just put it back on the shelves and move on.

    Example: we both wanted some egg nog during the holidays leading up to Christmas. We went to 3 different supermarkets and yes you guessed it bioengineered were in all the labels.

    We/I decided to make some homemade egg nog but unfortunately we just moved on to other things and never made any. I really didn't need to drink it anyway because I'm sure irs loaded with calories.

    I cut out diet caffeine drinks way back there but somehow I re researched the ingredients in the diet drinks of all kinds and the studies are in on those drinks, that they actually make you more hungry because of the reactions your body has to the sweetners.

    So we'll keep plodding along and just eat as we can and stick to as much natural and or organic as we can. That doesn't even seem to be totally safe anymore either.

    Just thought it would make for a good discussion.
