I think it is a conversation worth having. Over the last 15 years I have become chemically sensitive. I did not relate this to foods however till more recently. It is worth researching and learning about. I have many food intolerances and allergies that can be life threatening and uncomfortable. It is not a question of wether it can happen but when will you be affected.
All arguments aside it has been proven that chemicals can be dangerous to the human body, each of us has a different tolerance. You may feel you are not being affected by said chemicals in your foods or your environment however have you asked yourself; would I feel this way without having them in my body and my foods?

Why do you think I added the "in the USA" bit?0 -

News flash, everyone will die some day. Not all at the same time, but every living thing will die. Even the sun will one day burn out.
That's actually good news because it makes slow poisonous food more appealing.0 -

This post is exactly why you do not even bother posting opinions like this on MFP.0

Meats? Dairy? Oils? Of course I eat every one if these things! In my book it's nourishment, energy and sustenance- a far cry from poison. I eat these things because its important to have a well rounded diet... Not because Pauly D or any celebrity tells me it's cool. Everyone dies at one point or another and I would rather do it eating the things that I enjoy in moderation, like steak, and eggs and mozzarella and olive oil.0

yes, seriously.
if you're going to make sweeping statements like that, you should be prepared to back them up with facts.

Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!
Man in Black: Then make your choice.
Vizzini: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be?
Man in Black: [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. Roberts looks. Vizzini swaps the goblets]
Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.
Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter. First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.
Man in Black, Vizzini: [Vizzini and the Man in Black drink]
Man in Black: You guessed wrong.
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...
Vizzini: [Vizzini stops suddenly, his smile frozen on his face and falls to the ground dead]
Buttercup: And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned.
Man in Black: They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.0 -

Even so, you can pretty much find a study to fit any opinion these days. Studies conflict on nearly every topic. At this point, the only usefulness in citing facts is so someone can come in a derail the experimental design. I feel like this is a losing argument on both ends.0 -

Well, I mean..the statement in itself is an opinion. I just thought, maybe that others shared my concerns. I guess not. It's hard to provide you with "facts" over the internet, as everything posted online is questionably biased. Just a few off the top of my head though.. farmer's feeding cows candy because it's cheaper. Patented seeds. Patented SEEDS. And if some of those GMO seeds carry in the wind over to your farm, well then you have to deal with Monsanto. Good luck with that.0 -
damnit.
Iocaine Powder was my first thought, and by the time I read the whole thread, someone just beat me to it.
Also, that cat in the gif - is it the same cranky cat everyone has in their AVs? He's awesome.0 -
Because they taste amazing!!! You left out Bacon. And don't go saying that's a meat bc that is just disrespectful, bacon belongs in a class of its own.
Would you eat bacon if you knew that it tasted awesome? Bc I would0 -

I am not taking anyone's side on this, but are there any real "facts" in the food industry (very closely related to science). How do we determine fact? A limited selection of studies. The realization is, you are forced to base your thoughts on opinion.
There are no "facts" that things are unsafe or "facts" that things are safe. Hate to just kill the fire of argument on this topic but there are no LONG TERM studies saying either effect at the moment.0 -
farmer's feeding cows candy
that's kind of a sweet thing to do. get it?0 -
More importantly, where is the low fat guy to weigh in on this? He told me I should be growing my own potatoes in my strip of yard that my dog uses for a toilet and basing my diet around those potatoes. You two will have a happy marriage.0

true. and i'm perfectly willing to concede that the lady whose post i was replying to is very nice and very sincere in her beliefs, but statements like that one need to be backed up by facts. if it can't be, then perhaps the problem is with the source of the beliefs.0 -

dude-
someday, hopefully, you will be released from the bondage of whatever book or website you have been getting your information from and look back on these posts and wonder how you ever made it through the day.
these assertions that meats and dairy cause cancer are over blown and in most cases that have any relationship with reality, even absurd.
don't you wonder why no one agrees with you?
Well said......0 -
