excerpts

Just when we thought that buying “Organic” was safe, we run headlong into the deliberate poisoning of our organic food supply by the FDA in collusion with none other than the folks who brought us Aspartame. NutraSweet, a former Monsanto asset, has developed a new and improved version of this neurotoxin called Neotame.


The food labeling requirements required for aspartame have now been dropped for Neotame, and no one is clear why this was allowed to happen. Neotame has been ruled acceptable, and without being included on the list of ingredients, for:
<LI class=list_spacer>USDA Certified Organic food items.
Certified Kosher products with the official letter k inside the circle on labels.
Neotame does not have to be included in ANY list of ingredients! So, if you buy processed food, whether USDA Certified Organic or not, that food most likely will contain Neotame because it is cost-effective, and since no one knows it is there, there is no public backlash similar to what is happening with Aspartame.

But that’s not all....that cow most likely will have been fed with feed containing…..you guessed it…..Neotame! A product called “Sweetos,” which is actually composed of Neotame, is being substituted for molasses in animal feed.

“Sweetos is an economical substitute for molasses. Sweetos guarantees the masking of unpleasant tastes and odor and improves the palatability of feed. This product will be economical for farmers and manufacturers of cattle feed. It can also be used in mineral mixture,” said Craig Petray, CEO, The NutraSweet Company, a division of Searle, which is a part of Monsanto."
Most animals will not eat spoiled, rancid feed. They know by the smell that it is not good. Enter Sweetos (Neotame). Just cover up the unpleasant tastes and odors, and you can feed them anything you want to, courtesy of the oh, so considerate folks at Monsanto and company.

Says the Farm Industry News, “Monsanto, which has long resided in the crosshairs of public scorn and scrutiny, appears to have dodged at least one bullet by spinning off its industrial chemical business into a separate entity called Solutia a couple of years ago. Solutia has since been hammered by lawsuits regarding PCB contamination from what were once called Monsanto chemical plants in Alabama and other states.”

Buy local organic food, know your local farmer, and don’t buy processed foods whether they are labeled “Organic” or not. This requires a drastic change in lifestyle that most will not want to make.

One way to avoid poisoning by tainted organic meat is not to eat any meat! The radiant health of countless vegetarians has shown that our bodies simply do not need it. There are plenty of plant-based sources of vitamin B12 & iron. The world will be a far more peaceful place when we stop supporting the daily mass slaughter of millions of defenseless animals, all because of a false belief system going back many thousands of years, that this is somehow necessary for survival. Let us look to the future that we all want: healthy bodies and a healthy eco-system on our already badly-bruised sweet planet Earth. Both inner peace and global peace can be attained much easier and quicker without the continuing consumption of dead flesh! It takes real courage to make this change, as it happens individually, on a personal gut level. Are you brave enough?? Or are you still clinging to the old cowardly belief system of killing animals for survival?

And dairy comes from cows. And this stuff can get into milk even in those labeled organic. That was the point of the article.

As far as your assessment on what creates radiant health, I was a vegetarian for 27 years and raised my children that way. I was a conscious vegetarian, eating eggs and dairy (milked goats or got raw cow's milk from local people and grew much of my vegetables) as well as mixing beans and rice to get my protein. I haven't taken alliopathic medications for 33 years and lived a healthy lifestyle. I went for nutritional testing 13 years ago due to appearing health issues, and the nutritionist almost fell over backwards--I had no available protein available in my blood...my body was starving. I went on some cleanses to clear out my liver and started eating salmon. I cut out most of my heavy carbs and eliminated wheat. I started feeling better especially as my thyroid and liver started to reboot from all the tofu I ate because soy inhibits the enzymes that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion, plus soy contains goitrogens - substances that depress thyroid function, and contain haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together. Much of the "natural" soy protein used in foods today is bathed in a toxic, explosive chemical solvent known as hexane.

So you're welcome to your judgments about what eating "dead flesh" means, but they are about how you feel and not the truth of the matter as far as individual healthy diets. Carrots are living too and have consciousness. Have you ever heard them scream when they are pulled from the ground? I have. I bless all my food as all has consciousness and are part of the same Source of Energy.
