The Truth Behind Commercial Food

 I think that now would be a good time to show the movie Food Inc again. For those of you who didn't watch it in March (and those of you who did), I think that right now under the subject of unsafe kitchen products it would be a good idea to watch, or re-watch, it.

GMO Labeling Now!

 GMOs are at best a controversial subject, and at worst enough to cause a fight. GMOs go under the subject of unsafe kitchen products, because, quite frankly, they aren't safe! The creators of GMOs have spent millions of dollars to convince us of their safety, but independent studies are proving the exact opposite.

Some Safe Choices, And Key Words to Look For

  When you walk into a store, sometimes you have to wonder what hidden ingredients are lurking in your food and how these "secret" ingredients effect your health. I've come up with a very basic list of some commonly purchased foods, some of which are considered healthy choices. I realize that I haven't done much specifying this month as to which brands are good to buy from but I plan to make up for that here. I will list a common kitchen product, key words to look for when shopping, and an explanation of why something without the key words is bad.  

Skim Dairy - A Big Fat Lie

 People who are still stuck in the mind set that less calories make you skinnier, should open their minds really wide and digest this information. First off, according to Wikipedia " Historically, skimmed milk was used for fattening pigs, and was recommended as "not only the very best supplement for growing pigs, but is of almost equal value for fattening purposes" as it "furnishes a complete protein" and makes the feed "more palatable."", if this isn't enough of a shocker further down it says "Skimmed milk contains less fat than whole milk, and as such many^[who?] nutritionists and doctors recommend it for people who are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight". If this isn't a paradox I don't know what is! Now some of you are thinking, But we aren't pigs, it doesn't apply to us in the same way! Well, do I have some unfortunate news for you! While it may not fatten us exactly like pigs, it does have some rather bad health repercussions. To learn the whole truth read Six Secrets You Don't Know About Skim Milk.  And for those of you who won't believe anything that's not from a "credited" source, Fox News does have a decent article on the subject.
