Food items to avoid

I had just gotten my boys Subway subs for lunch the day I heard about this on the news. Disgusting that a company founded by doctors would allow this. Bet they don't eat their own crap.

How completely disgusting! I know many of us agonize over what foods to eat to prevent more cancer, or at least I know that I have. After going through various phases and cutting out various foods or adding others, I am more and more inclined to think that the real issue is simply eating real food. When I buy bread I want to see the following ingredients on the label: water, yeast (or sourdough), flour, salt (optional) olive oil (optional) and nothing else, thank you very much.

Falleaves, after I threw the 16 bucks for 2 sandwiches in the trash, I did a little more reading about them. They really are scum. Poor Jared....remember him?.....ate exclusively Subway to lose weight and probably ate his way into an early grave in the process.

I'm really going to have to go looking for a substitute. There's no way my boys are going to give up fast food subs. Must be the sauces. Homemade subs don't cut it.

Nope, they only eat the chicken breast sandwich.

Looks like the Environmental Working Group put together a list of 500 bread products that contain azodicarbonimide:

The whole wheat sandwich bread I buy isn't on there (phew!) 

Musical, it drives me nuts the way the EPA and FDA ignore what other countries do in banning certain chemicals (as if American bodies work differently). Subway produces bread without AZ in other countries. So obviously they CAN do it and still be profitable. I wish our government cared more about protecting our health. I'd love to see a law that any product banned anywhere in the world would trigger a review by the FDA or EPA, that shifted the burden of proof to proving it WASN'T a health hazard, before it could be used in the U.S any further.

Leggo, I'm really disgusted by Subway's other practices, after seeing what you posted. Even Burger King was willing to pay an extra penny a pound for tomatoes, going to the extremely poor field workers who harvest them, but not Subway.

Ugh. The last sandwich I had at Subway, I picked the 9 grain bread, thinking I was making a healthier choice. So much for that....

Most things that are advertised as "whole grain" are the same. Don't just be mad at Subway. My experience is also that the whole grain and whole wheat bread is almost always sweeter than regular white bread too.

Falll, after reading your link from the other post, I got to do a bit of digging. Somewhere I'm pretty sure I saw mentioned US eats 70%  GMO. I'll try and track down where it was.

Anyway any GMO IS DISGUSTING! Obviously the higher the percentage, the less chance you you have of finding healthy food.

It's all about lies lies and more lies, some blatant, some with plenty of subterfuge, like using words, "pure" clean and green" even "organic". I wouldn't trust my own country as far as I could kick them either....for example, they supposedly say we dont allow GMOs here, BUT in reality the fine print allows it to come through our borders in other ways aka "made from local AND imported ingredients" which manufacturers dont have to state their presence if theyre below a certain amount or already processed like pasta. We've also got plenty of camels noses in the door....like some oops moments from lab experiments....

If you really want open a can of worms try looking up the HORRORS of Codex Alimentarius which is purported of course to be safe but has a much more sinister agenda...heres a taster (excuse the pun)

Disclaimer: if you dare to enter into this minefield by google searching or whatever, be aware, there's plenty of controlled opposition. That is, people planted on blogs, comments, forums et al, to provide the "favourable other side" so the people will be confused, or listen to the more "authentic voice". Goal is to DISCREDIT any "unfavourable" discussion about the agenda of the powers that be, who have put this in place. Of course the favoured taunt is "conspiracy theorists" (aka nutters).

In the document from the NSFSA (New Zealand Food Safety Authority ) Domestic Food Review,  Quote..."Note, in this context and all further references to ‘food’ in this document is meant ‘food and food related products’"  Unquote

Heres an interesting link, with much to say about the pharmaceutical side to this nightmare.

Am I the only one that was this ignorant??

No, but a lot are. That's why this info should be everywhere.

Even so, youre always going to get downplayers, naysayers and the willfully blind. Thats why this rubbish has gained so much traction.
