If you or your kids enjoy pre-packaged convenience foods commonly found in grocery stores across the U.S. such as Froot Loops, Swanson dinners, Mountain Dew, and frozen potato and bread products, you may think twice before purchasing them after hearing what they contain: dangerous chemicals that other countries around the globe have deemed toxic to the point that they're illegal, and companies are fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for including them in food products.

In a new book Rich Food, Poor Food, authors Mira and Jason Calton provide a list of what they term "Banned Bad Boys" - ingredients commonly used in up to 80% of all American convenience food that have been banned by other countries, with information about which countries banned each substance and why.

And though it might not surprise you to hear that Olestra - commonly used in low/no-fat snack foods and known to cause serious gastrointestinal issues for those who consume it (understatement) - is on that list, having been banned in both the United Kingdom and Canada, you may be shocked to hear that Mountain Dew, Fresca and Squirt all contain brominated vegetable oil, a substance that has been banned in more than 100 countries "because it has been linked to basically every form of thyroid disease - from cancer to autoimmune diseases - known to man."

an we're supposed to be the greatest country in the world:lol:

the angry fat fucks will be here in min talkin bout ya cant live forever an all that other bullshit
 
America has no rules when it comes to food. I some of you remember the stories about Mexico rejecting US beef due to high copper levels :smh::smh:


lots of additives that are allowed here are no no's in other parts of the world
 
No idea, but I'm not taking the entire article at face value. I'am aware of some ingredients mentioned in the article but I'm going to have to read up on the others.

yeah, this article is just a book promo (advertised via yahoo) however there are still very valid pieces of info

a lot of studies on the dangers of additives were published 30 years ago
 
A lot of the fast food items over here, you can't get over there. The KFC chicken is prepared differently over there. I remember being in London when BK came out with the triple Whopper, and they were like "Not over here you won't!" They offered a double Whopper, and that's it. I told the people I was with that we had a quad Whooper in the States, and they were like :puke::smh:

Yeah I really started getting into this after watching the documentaries Food, Inc and The world according to Monsanto.


There was a shit load of former Monsanto employees in George Bush cabinet. When considering that, it is not really surprising how loose the FDA became in regards to GMO and other food additives.
 
here was a post by Kaya made awhile back


Monsanto employees and government regulatory agencies employees are the same people!

If you go to those countries you will see similar unhealthy foods on their shelves too

I can't believe that the US is the ONLY country in the world with unhealthy shit on the shelves. However, we do allow some shit over here that they wouldn't elsewhere.
 
Not only that but....didn't California vote down a question,that would have required companies to label food.

Just to tell you what's in the foods:smh:

And the sheeple said no:smh:

Those other countries don't have AFAIK products that are sooooo poisonous that they're illegal here. You can throw rat poison in a box and sell it as baby food here.

Can you name 1 product from another country that was banned here?

naw. companies already have to label food out here. the new law would've required companies to identify genetically modified food on each product. but food manufacturers feared that doing so would cause people to NOT get their product in favor of one the consumer deemed "more natual" and dumped boat loads of money to run ads that scared the public into thinking they would have to pay a lot more money for the same products
 
that's why i'm glad i live down here in the country.

if i learn how to make my own bread, and if i find a good source for dairy (old local dairy farmer retired), i will only go to the store for just a few items.

everything else i get from local farms/stores/outdoor markets. :D:yes:
 
damn...

we need a health food thread or something for parents on here...

probably a great blog idea if someone want to run with it.

He was talking about them voting down against the gmo labeling..even though he forgot to add that I knew where he was getting at
 
Stopped buying/eating pre-packaged food 3 years ago, never felt better. The sad part is that healthy food costs more but when it comes to life, it's worth it.
