Where Did the Real Food Go?.

    I remember a classmate from Europe/Asia  area when I was in college once told our professor that he did not understand why was he gaining weight here in the U.S while eating the same type of food that he was eating in his country. The professor told him it was because of the extra unnecessary additives that is add to food here. Although by then i used to not look at the label, I did had an idea that yes, they add a lot of unnecessary additives. On top of that, some of them are harmful to our body.
     Why do Industries do this?
          Although they would not admit it, or it wouldn't be discuss., the answer is more than obvious, MONEY. Some additives are there to preserve shelf life, hence, they would be able to sell more with an extended expiration date, other additives are there to enhance flavor because of long storage would change the flavor. However, the most disturbing reason why they would do this is so consumers would be come addict to their products and hence by and consume more and more.  Although it makes common sense that companies want to sell more of their product, these tactics are just unethical. What is more worrying however is not the artificial products themselves, which there are well documented research that it is really bad for humans. After all, humans were meant to eat organic real food, grown on soil, using natural growing methods, not food grown on a lab. Although this is my opinion, and i would love to some day be able to do a research, I believe that Artificial ingredients Can Alter your DNA, mutating cells, and be one of the causes of several disease human have today that didn't exist before, for example, Cancer. what is more worrying is that some fast food restaurant , and yes, even some package food use polypropylene, an ingredient used in anti-freeze, derive from oil(petroleum). This is use to keep the lettuce crisp in fast food restaurant for example. These changes is what have getting people sick.
   Also, another reason is the use of GMO, or Genetic Modified Organism,. This is one of the main reason why is hard to find real food today. The GMO's are manipulated from the seeds on the lab where they make it "disease resistant" or "weed resistant" and puting pesticide inside the seed, but by doing this they alter the structure of the plant /vegetable, fruit of themselves. Therefore, even if you choose to eat healthy and eat produce, you are still not sure how natural this product is, and  even though study on GMO products has not been extensively done yet, the current results are  alarming because they had been link to the cause of cancer and tumors. GMO's are particularly dangerous because of cross contamination. when Animals, wind, etc, move the offspring seeds from one place to another it converts other NON GMO plants to GMO plants and it also contaminates other farmers that are doing the right thing.  In my opinion, we should go back to the way food used to be before. I remember when I didnt need to watch at labels, that I knew that i was getting real food, not copy-cats artificial dyes that are bad for us. It would be good to organize and sign petition to ask the Government to make food companies re-design their products with more natural ingredients. After all, Europe is already doing it. Also, they should put in the label all ingredients and indicate which one are dangerous.   However, the most important of all, ask the FDA to Ban many ingredients that are already Banned in other countries do to their danger to our health.
