I'm all for organic foods and whole foods, etc.  The problem is, when Liberals get involved in something that's basically good, or neutral, they always take it to an extreme, setting up simplistic good guy vs. bad guy scenarios, and the Capitalist always turns out to be the bad guy. There is no earthly reason why healthy foods can't be mass produced. 

Here's a good piece that would have brought some balance to that Nightline segment. (Which I watched - btw)

...or something to the effect of all the kids on the street saying,"We got McDonald's..."

Here's the Video...What a riot!

devaluation of everyone's life..."-dscott

"the edible equivalent of waxed fruit." Wouldnt that just be fruit?

Does this guy live in a fantasy world. Some of the stuff his Mom and or Grandma may have eaten probably would harden his arteries on site.

Anyone else have memories of  Mammas favorite foods

As if we're not getting enough bad news lately, the USDA says corn production could drop 7% this year because rain in the corn belt is keeping farmers from planting. That's 7% down from last year's record crop, but still, a smaller corn crop means even higher corn prices. What does it mean? Check out this paragraph from the AP story:

“Today’s report is an indicator that we’re going to
be living with very high corn prices for a very long time, at least
through the next crop year,” said Mark McMinimy, an agribusiness and
biofuels analyst with the Stanford Group in Washington.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

"These are things we invented in the last 50 years or so that, you know,
smell like food, taste like food, look like food, but they're very
different than the kinds of things people ate 100 years ago."

And the people of 100 years ago usually died by the age of 60 from heart attacks, strokes, and food-born illness. I'll stick with today's food and live to a ripe old age of 80 or 90 or maybe even 100, thank you very much.

Is it just me or have others noticed that people tend to reminisce about the "good old days" without remembering all the bad those days use to bring? Organic farming is a good example. Today we have so many people trying to get back to the "good old days" of organic farming because it's supposed to be "healthier," only to hear about a huge increase in e-coli contaminations which is contributed to those same "organic" farms. Hello! Can't you see the forest through all those trees?

The "processed" food we eat today is a thousand times healthier than what was available 100 years ago. When is the last time you heard about a listeria outbreak, or salmonella, or dysentery, or trichinosis, or almost any other food born illness that killed people by the thousands just 100 years ago? Food born illness are rare today, unless it’s a contamination of e-coli which is usually contributed to “organic” foods cross-contaminating the processed foods. Don't you think that the sanitary food processing methods we employ today have something to do with it?

Michael may celebrate, but it is an ignorant celebration, on so many levels. The life span of humans has increased in the last 100 years, in large part because of the foods we eat and medical care. As a perspective, consider the average age of those past.
