I was shopping at my local grocery store the other day, looking for fruit juice. This was at one of the major local chain stores, with literally hundreds of locations. I went to the drink section and found nothing. I don't mean they didn't have anything to drink, but everything available was Coke, or Gatorade, or some sickly-sweet orange-colored flavored fruit drink. There wasn't a single can or bottle of real fruit juice. And then I realized, it's happening in China, too. I mean the same thing that has already overwhelmed the US and many other "devel-oped" nations. Food is becoming wedding dresses, something that doesn't get dug out of the ground, or plucked from a tree, or pulled from the water, or raised on a farm. Food is now something that comes in a brightly-colored package, and what's in the package is increasingly unlike anything ever intended by nature. In the US if something is labeled as a "fruit drink," it actually needs to contain only 10 percent of actual juice. The rest is water and sugar wedding dresses and food coloring. It's a major contributor to the diabetes rate in the US, which has reached 25 percent in some areas. This is a catastrophe world of warcraft gold, and it's also the gateway to other severe medical conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity and cancer. We might say it's people's own fault for not changing their diet world of warcraft gold, but what if they go into the store, like I did, and have no other option? China is going through a transitional period in its development. Hundreds of millions of Chinese people still live a traditional rural life, and you can still find local farmers' markets with real produce direct from the fields shaiya gold, or maybe little mom-and-pop stands on the side of the road selling whatever is in season. But they are being squeezed out little by little shaiya gold, just as they have been in the US. As China becomes more urban, and more people do their shopping at the big box stores, they are feeding themselves on pre-packaged food that must, inevitably, succumb to certain inflexible market pressures. When major labels take over your food supply, they have you enslaved. When Nestle, or Danone, or Kelloggs or Kraft gets between you and the farmer, then they will do whatever they can to make the food more profitable for them. The first step is corn sweetener aion kina, and lots of it. Added fat. Added salt. Modifiers, thickeners, food coloring, starch, and throw in some more sugar. Put in all kinds of preservatives so that the "food" can now sit on a shelf or in a warehouse for months without spoiling. Then, get a cool looking mascot to sell it. Let's see, how about a smiling bunny rabbit? A flying cow? A superhero aion kina? How about a famous Beijing or Hong Kong movie star on the label? That must mean it's good for you and delicious, and you'll be rich and famous and happy just like them. In the produce section 2moons dil,, I noticed these lovely fresh vegetables, shrink wrapped on a styrofoam tray, labeled "organic." Well, why did our food become inorganic in the first place? That means that everything that isn't so labeled has been variously contaminated with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and God knows what else, and that's most of the fruits 2moons dil and vegetables all around us. Now, we are to believe that going organic is somehow progress, when it's actually returning to where we've already come from. And it cd keys, costs twice as much. cd keys When the inorganic costs less than the organic, which do you think the consumer is going to buy? This adulteration of the food supply is happening all around and with all kinds of foods, although the process is insidious and almost unnoticeable. China has one of the world's finest food cultures, a long tradition of rich and varied local delicacies prepared maple story mesos and appreciated as an art form. Many towns and cities boast about their famous specialties which are proudly offered to visiting guests. However, little by little, convenient maple story mesos, and pre-packaged foods are becoming the norm for hard-working young couple who simply don't have enough time or energy to prepare the natural meals that their parents made. If we stop caring about the foods we put into our bodies to keep us healthy, who's going to care for us?
