I love eating (who doesn’t?) and if I have been reading about all the nasty stuff that is being added into my food lately, I probably wonder “what’s left for me to eat”?
With all my previous articles, you already know that high fat, high sugar, high cholesterol, and high sodium diets have been found to aggravate or cause heart disease, cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. We have also to deal with foot and mouth disease, mad cow disease, salmonella poisoning and other horrible food-borne illnesses.
My issue in these matters though is the subject of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) or Genetic Engineering (GE). For all I know, for the last fifty years we have been grappling with the effects of pesticides in our food. And the next fifty we will have to contend to genetically engineered foods. Eating foods with pesticide is just like a tip of the iceberg. Genetically engineering offers undreamed-of possibilities and also generates many grave concerns. I believe that this is an experiment on a vast scale. The environment, animals and even human beings are its guinea pigs. And let’s wait for the unknown effects till years to come.
I still believe that organic farming is the only best agricultural system. Coz/ organic food is healthier and significantly reduces the toxic load on our body. Organic food revolution is always part of the total wellness revolution. Feed your self with delicious and healthy food that leaves the environment in better shape.
