Food pollution - the violation of our inner ecology
Marine, Gene, Allen, Judith Van
Hot dogs have hormones in them, ice cream emulsifiers, bread bleaches, nearly everything has artificial flavors and none of it is good for you, according to Gene Marine and his wife. Most of this isn't new, since the dangers of food additives have been widely publicized. This contribution to the consumer crusade puts all the glop in our food together and it makes for pretty gruesome reading. Additives can result in cancer, birth defects, or just slow poisoning. Some of the most dangerous additives and insecticides get there by accident and can't be removed. The villains behind the consumer's plight in this case are food manufacturers in search of greater profits and FDA officials who are more concerned with protecting the manufacturers from the public than vice versa. Marine and Van Allen suggest boycotting your supermarket and growing your own.
