"On a steady diet of Soda pop and Ritalin"

Green Day says it all.


So. Mike Adams. Smart dude.
He's hollistic nutritionist.
All natural health and stuff, for those of you who aren't quite getting 'hollistic nutritionist'.
Anyhow.
My mom gave me one of his articles over Easter. Most interesting.
Great timing too, considering you know you just ate a load of Easter candy. Artificial dyes and all.

How food companies fool consumers with food coloring ingredients made from petrochemicals.

^ It looks confusing. It's not.
Go read it.
Really. You'll be a hell of a lot more informed after reading that. It isn't that long. I don't care if you don't like reading or aren't 'into' this stuff.
Read it for your own good.

I mean, you know, unless you just want to continue eating beetle juice...

"I have one more interesting tidbit I'd like to share with you. You may be familiar with a red color ingredient called carmine; it can be found in strawberry yogurt and a variety of other products. Carmine is sourced from a mash made by grinding up beetles grown in Peru and the Canary Islands. The mash is strained out to obtain a red liquid. That liquid, made from insects, is then shipped to the United States to food companies, where it is dumped into the yogurt to make it look like there are strawberries in there. Folks, it's not strawberry. It's insect juice. That's what's in your yogurt (and a lot of candy and children's foods as well)."

Sounds real appetizing, doesn't it?
Yeah. We could all totally be on Survivor.

How about all of you who supposedly have ADHD? Have friends with it like I do? It sickens me because I know they're taking some flipped out medication for very little.
Clearly Mike Adams is with me on that.

"Eventually, artificial colors used in the food supply will likely be outlawed because they contribute to all sorts of health problems, the most notable of which are the symptoms diagnosed as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a behavioral pattern often brought on by Yellow #2 food dye. Children are being fed these chemicals in such large quantities that they begin to have nervous system malfunctions that ultimately are misdiagnosed as ADHD, learning disabilities, or violent behavior."

So you have a bit too much Halloween candy, start bouncing off the walls, mommy gets weirded out and takes you to Doctor Evil. Dr. E gives you Ridilin or some other ADHD-fighting crap. You take it, you're screwed. Dammit, kids are just hyper sometimes, and sometimes, evidently, it's Yellow #2. But do doctors tell you that? Uh, no.

Then again, can't really blame them for everything. They don't always know.
Blame the retarded FDA. [Food & Drug Administration. Also known as the Center of Evil.]

But you know. Don't take my word for it. Go read the article yourself.
