Labeling and Content of Products

It is continually critical for all companies to label all the products that go into anything that is intended to go into a human. This includes everything from alcohol to cigarettes, spices, pies, alcohol, beer, liquor, and wine, and all candies and components that have instructions to cook.

Do NOT cook plastics in microwaves or expose them to high heats. This will cause plastic to leach into your foods and into you. Plastic is a known carcinogen. Most wax paper is fine. Cardboard is fine provided that it has not been treated with plastics or most chemicals. Paper towels are fine so long as they are microwave safe and contain no treated chemicals.

Companies that instruct consumers to cook foods in at-risk plastic containers are at risk for lawsuits from consumer agencies for knowingly exposing and instructing consumers to expose themselves to dangerous carcinogens. This practice must cease yesterday.

Furthermore, consumers should be made aware of any genetically modified "GM" products in foods. Consumers should seek organic foods and avoid hydrogenated oils and animal oils where possible. Products high in fat salt or sugar should be avoided, and companies should be made to label these products clearly 'a high fat food', or salt, or sugar accordingly

Consumers are advised to avoid preservatives and artificial colors and flavors, as they will have negative health effects and put additional unnecessary load on body organs. It is better to buy a product with a shorter expiration date than many [or any] preservatives. Companies are advised to not add artificial colorings or artificial flavorings to their products. Natural colorings and flavorings should be researched and labeled. Note that no natural food is blue. Certain flower petals are blue and could possibly be used for coloring instead of aluminums and other powdered metals.

Please consider purchasing more foods from cooperative and alternative food sources, as they are often conscious of what goes into the foods, have studied the science and material behind it, and are able to produce substantially tastier and more succulent food that is healthier for you!

Thank you for your consideration!

Fruit and Meat

People become accustomed to their environment. even internally.

I enjoy organic foods. They don't strike me as I consume them. Fruit has a lot of good energy in it that your body can readily digest. Meats are to be used by a living creature over the duration of their life.

I hope to examine this linkpage and spread these agricultural ideas to them. You may want to watch!

Non-Petroleum Farming

Ecologically friendly farming is both productive and efficient.

We spend billions of dollars annually on pesticides and fertilizers, polluting our waterways, ecosystems and our foods, and increasing expense of agriculture and reliance on oil. There is a better way to farm.

Greenhousing and ecological pest control can replace the majority of pesticides and have very low upkeep costs and large secondary benefits. Using greenhouses can extend the growing season and control pests. Building large Walmart-sized greenhouses can enable us to grow even tropical foods locally in most places, and allow for more intensive irrigation systems, humidity control, shade control, and water recycling. You could grow lovely crops from March to November in a well controlled greenhouse.

Greenhouses can also provide an excellent 'home base' for an ecological control system. By making a greenhouse a homeland environment for predator pestkillers, farmers can replace undesirable and expensive pesticides with dragonfly farms, apiaries, batboxes, and other natural living forms of pest control. Ecological pesticide is the next generation of pest killers, and they take care, feed, and reproduce by themselves indefinately if you give them the chance.

Using these two methods, America can reduce its reliance on oil products, provide tastier, fresher, more delicious and cheaper foods, and promote ecological wellness and make farms a downright nice place to be, year round.

Feeding livestock natural diets of nutritious hay instead of cheap corn can save difficulty and dilemna of using animal growth hormones, powerful antibiotics and medical treatments, and coming away with less healthy animals producing less healthful milk and meat. The same can be said of chickens. Ecological cycles on a farm are naturally formed and should be utilized for best health and production! Farmers can produce more organic foods cheaply by using these methods.

Food companies, cease hydrogenation. It is better to use natural butter than a hydrogenated oil. Consumers have stated that they prefer non-hydrogenated organic foods. They also prefer foods with less salt and fat content and fewer or no preservatives or artificial flavorings or colorings. Genetically modified foods are also off the table.

Sustainable humanitarian and ethical farming and food producing practices make the best, tastiest, healthiest, and most cost effective meal man can achieve.
