They are going to constantly push the limits of adding man-made unnatural chemicals to your food. Therefore everyone needs to get educated to reach the critical/threshold point of enough people getting outraged at the corporate money-loving CEO more-money more-money arrogant attitude. They care about fancy colors and MARKETING NOT your health. Quote "Our bodies are made to process out any excess or impurities in food..." what a moronic statement. Statements and attitudes like that are not safe and are what these food companies (managers and execs) are making billions off of.

Okay.. so maybe some people here are not too “well off” *rolls eyes* and can still some how eat this all organic healthy diet… I find it hard, here is my predicament;

I go to University, around $3,000 + books a semester, I have to work full time around that as well to be able to afford rent 1,000 per month (yes, thats a cheap place here), bills, school, gas, car payments (no fancy vehicle but I do NEED to get around) etc. & that is on a min wage paycheque. I take a full course load and when you pile homework on top of that I barley have time to eat in the first place …

So… if you get up at say 7 am, have to be at school by eight, come home at say… three, go to your lovely place of work until ten – ten thirtyish, come home to do home work and then TRY and get a decent amount of sleep, because as health freaks we ALL KNOW that 8 hrs of sleep is just as important as healthy eating..

where can I go to pick up healthy food if I have a five dollar a day food budget and where would you suppose I get the time to cook my own organic food…also I refuse to be a vegitarian and do not want tofu or soy substitutes, I dont have anyone around to cook for me, and I have 100$ grocerie limit.. if that.. a month.

If you have a microwave you can: *steam veggies (fresh or frozen) with very little added water...thus eliminating canned goods that have lots of added sugars and salts. *cook rice. Buy a small bag of natural (unbleached) rice. It should last you all week. For a simple, quick meal add some sauted veggies (one bell pepper, some sugar snap peas, one small onion)to the rice. Get yourself a hot plate. Use a skillet and pot to make meals. For breakfast buy natural oatmeal. Cook it in the microwave. Add brown sugar and raisens. There are so many ways to eat healthy on a small income. It's all about how badly you want it. My daughter has an intollerance to refined sugar. Once we eliminated the refined sugar, she is a healthy 5 year old doing well. I have an intollerance to fructose. It's amazing what these additives can do to your body!! And yes, the MSG thing is true. My husband gets horrible migranes from MSG. Its in spices, doritos, and lots of other things. Aspartame is horrid too. It causes body aches, headaches, and a feeling of confusion in me and a close friend of mine. Be smart about what you eat. It's easy to cop out and say, im poor, i have no time, there is no evidence, etc etc etc....If you want to be healthy, do it. Not everything in life is easy, nor should it be.
