Eating Poison Everyday: Overview 2
The modern food industry provides food for us faster, more, and cheaper.
At the same time, this is also making us sicker, fatter, and poorer.
The food industry does not want you to know the truth of what you are eating, because if you knew, you might not want to eat it.

Eating Poison Everyday: Overview 3
Never before in human history is like ours:  Eating so much, so oily, so sweet, so cruel ( the ways of raising & slaughtering animals ), so long distance ( transportation of food ), so unjust ( to farmers & workers ), and so harmful to our body.
Actually no one is intentionally eating unhealthy. Most people just don’t know the truth behind the food……
In the food market driven primarily by capitalism, basically people can only achieve filtered & limited choices on the shells. Those food items placed on the shells, must be those profitable, good selling, and better yet those that will be repeatedly purchased by the consumers, which are those so called “addictive” food items.
( Extracted from preface written by Hui-Fang, Zhu, professional food author, Taiwan )
From using chemical fertilizers, synthetic food addictives, GMO, laser ( disinfecting process ), to using packaging with toxins…, every procedure involved, as long  as it can increase the attraction to the consumers or reduce the production cost, the food manufactures would be happy to use that………The consumers are like the guinea pigs in the lab test.
