Know what you're putting in your body...

"The thing that bugs me is that the people think the FDA is protecting them. It isn't. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks its doing are as different as night and day."~ Hebert Lay, M.D., former FDA Commissioner

THIS IS FROM A FORMER COMMISSIONER OF THE FDA!!!!

.....Someone who knows the ins and outs of the government agency that is supposedly protecting us and "responsible for regulating and supervising the safety of foods, tobacco products, dietary supplements, Medication drugs, vaccines, Biopharmaceutical, blood transfusion, medical devices, Electromagnetic radiation emitting devices, veterinary products, and cosmetics." OUCH!

You cannot trust anything approved by the FDA or the USDA for that matter.....especially meat and dairy products. Here is an excerpt from Skinny Bitch:

"President Abraham Lincoln founded the U.S Department of Agriculture in 1862 - when the majority of people were farmers and needed to exchange information about seeds and crops. In other words, the USDA was created to help farmers.

According to it's website, now, among others things, the USDA is responsible for the 'safety of meat, poultry and egg products.'

Hmm. That's weird. 'Cause many high-ranking staff members of the USDA were employed by, or are otherwise affiliated with, the meat and dairy industries. And if the group responsible for 'the safety of meat, poultry, and egg products' is run by people from the same industries they're supposed to be protecting us from.....well, that would be a conflict of interest. AND IT IS. An enormous, outrageous, catastrophic conflict of interest."

It just goes to show you that you can't trust anyone. READ THE INGREDIENTS. Find out for yourself what you are putting into your body. And just because something says USDA approved doesn't mean crap. I would actually stay away from any meat or dairy that has that label on it. This organization doesn't care about anything but making money.....they don't care about you, your health or the health of the animals that they feed to the American public.

I would definitely recommend reading Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin.

Also, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer for a more in-depth look into the meat, dairy and egg industry
