Time to STAND UP to the Food Industry

It IS Time to Stand Up.

The world around us is standing up and saying "No More", in numbers that have never ever been seen before.  While the Main Stream Media tries to hide what is going on world wide, the truth is getting out faster and faster as the "alternative" media has now become the leaders in bringing news to the people.

CHANGE comes from and through the people.  If you think you can sit back and that someone "official" will look after you and your family, then you are vastly misguided.

No One Is Coming To Save You.

If you want CHANGE then you must be the CHANGE you wish to SEE.  Does that mean you have to go out and protest?  That you have to burn cars and throw rotten eggs and scream and yell?   NO it doesn't.   But it DOES mean that you need to take some responsibility for those changes that you want to happen.  It DOES mean that you need to be involved- in whatever way resonates with you- to CREATE CHANGE.

Ask yourself this:  If I am not willing to stand up for my family's health and welfare, then who will?

I'm not asking you to get involved in "fighting" everything, or even most things.... but the time is NOW to PICK SOMETHING and GET INVOLVED.

Even the Main Stream Media is starting to talk about the horrific health of the average population in North America and in Western Europe.  The Alternative Media has been over flowing with facts and studies and information about the toxins in our food supply, our water, our air, and in our medications.

Two days ago I posted an article "The Food Industry Makes a Shift: STAND UP!" 

It was based on a skype post that a good friend of mine made.   He's decided to up the ante.


It IS Time NOW to GET UP and DO Something to Create CHANGE.





AMERICA AND THE WORLD YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO STAND UP AND MAKE THE CALLS.
 
WE HAVE REACHED A TURNING POINT OF NO RETURN. IT IS TIME TO PUT THE FOOD INDUSTRY ON NOTICE THAT WE WILL NO LONGER BUY THEIR CHEMICALLY LACED POISION FOOD PRODUCTS THEY ARE SELLING US ANY LONGER. IT IS UP TO US TO TAKE A STAND. IT IS INCUMBENT ON THEM TO PROVIDE US WITH SAFE HEALTH FOOD FREE OF CHEMICALS, LIKE GMO'S, MSG, FLOURIDE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE, AZODICARBONMIDE, ASPARTAME, HIGH FRUTOSE CORN SYRUP, THESE ARE JUST A FEW. THE FOOD INDUSTRY IS LACED WITH CHEMICALS THEY PUTTING IN OUR FOOD. IT IS TIME TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH. EFFECTIVE YESTERDAY WE PUT THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRY ON NOTICE AND TOLD THEM THEY WE DEMAND THEY CLEAN UP THEIR FOOD OR WE WILL PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS.

Do YOU know what Chlorpropham is?


Chlorpropham... ever heard of it?  I certainly hadn't until I watched this awesome video put together by a 5th grader.  Elise tells the story of her project about sweet potatoes, and her effort to get one to sprout..... and what she learned about the chemical Chlorpropham that is sprayed on a lot of vegetables and fruit to stop them from sprouting...





Now, we all know about the evil of GMOs and pesticides, but have you ever heard of this chemical Chlorpropham?  I certainly had never heard of it before!  So I decided to do just a little bit of research - and I mean a very little bit, because page one of Google search on Chlorpropham provided me with all the info I really needed.

INTRODUCTION

Chlorpropham is a plant growth regulator used for preemergence control of grass weeds in alfalfa, lima and snap beans, blueberries, cane berries, carrots, cranberries, ladino clover, garlic, seed grass, onions, spinach, sugar beets, tomatoes, safflower, soybeans, gladioli and woody nursery stock. It is also used to inhibit potato sprouting and for sucker control in tobacco (1). Chlorpropham is available in emulsifiable concentrate and liquid formulations.

TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS

ACUTE TOXICITY

Chlorpropham is moderately toxic by ingestion (2). It may cause irritation of the eyes or skin (2). Symptoms of poisoning in laboratory animals have included listlessness, incoordination, nose bleeds, protruding eyes, bloody tears, difficulty in breathing, prostration, inability to urinate, high fevers, and death. Autopsies of animals have shown inflammation of the stomach and intestinal lining, congestion of the brain, lungs and other organs, and degenerative changes in the kidneys and liver (2)

What Are The Dangers Of Clorpropham?

In an assessment conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, studies using laboratory animals found that “chlorpropham generally has… low acute toxicity” and placed in Toxicity Category III. With that said, here are their findings:
“Chlorpropham is a mild eye and skin irritant, and is practically NON-TOXIC through dermal exposure.”

However,

A dermal study using rabbits show that they “produced SKIN IRRITATION and BLOOD CELL CHANGES.”

A study using beagle dogs “resulted in REDUCED BODY WEIGHT GAIN, ANEMIA, and changes in THYROID FUNCTION and STRUCTURE.”

A rat feeding study also found “BODY WEIGHT GAIN… REDUCED”, in addition to, “DESTRUCTION AND LOSS OF RED BLOOD CELLS.

A developmental study in rats found a “TREATMENT RELATED FETAL EFFECT– an increased incident of rudimentary 14th rib.”

“A developmental study with rabbits resulted in INCREASEDEMBRYO RESORPTIONS and POST-IMPLANTATION LOSS.”

“A reproductive rat study affected GROWTH and HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CHANGES in the spleeen, bone marrow, liver, and kidney.”

“Chlorpropham tested POSITIVE in TWO out of FOUR MUTAGENICITY studies.”

Furthermore,

The assessment also states on its fourth (4th) page that,
“Although chlorpropham is classified as a group E chemical (evidence of non-carcinogenicity for HUMANS) according to the Agency’s cancer classification guidelines, one of its metabolites, 3-chloroaniline, is STRUCTURALLY SIMILAR to a KNOWN CARCINOGEN, 4-chloroaniline… Based on the structure of the compounds, the Agency believes that 3-chloroaniline is probably, at most, equally as potent… [as] 4-chloroaniline.”

Yea.....I  think I'll just grow my own veggies as much as possible from now on.
