Unmasking Food industries Secrets and how they play with our health

Well, admit it, we are getting sick because of the foods we eat, and our foods have gone from natural to highly processed diets, try this, list whatever you ate today and if it doesn't contain any processed food, I'll write a blog about minions. 

The food industries have made a design to take away our sense of commons, which is the ability to know what's best for us, and lets be honest, IT IS WORKING! . The main goal of food industries is to make food cheaper enough and more addictive, I had a talk with my dad minutes ago and this is what he said to me;

"People can no longer be full after they eat because they don't eat any foods with nutrients, instead they prefer processed foods which are addictive and make you crave for more food"

This means that if people preferred eating foods with nutrients instead of processed foods, life would be much easier. 

And do you know what the food industries do?

The strategy that they use is to deploy money to nutrition studies, just imagine how many studies have been conducted on NUTRITION, everyone has their own perspective on different foods, and guess what? that's their whole point, they want us confused!.

Given all those information about nutrition, are you confident that you know what you should be doing to live a better life and improve your health?.

THE LIES

From the Annals of Internal Medicine one of the premier medical journals, there was a title written as "Scientific Basis: A guideline recommendations on sugar intake, a systematic review" , which shortly means it talks about a review of the science of sugar. 

They gave out the conclusion that there is no evidence that sugar is harmful and we should not be promoting this through policies and consumers should not change their behaviors because any public perception that sugar is harmful, because according to the data it is not.

This study was funded by the International Life science institute which guess what, is funded by Coca Cola, Mcdonalds, Pepsi and other more food industries. See how this is so confusing!.

Look at how insane this sounds, A company giving out cheap "water diabetes" funding companies that help people avoid diabetes, fishy, very fishy.

Now, lets build up a short scenario, you receive millions of dollars from me (which I don't have, but will), now would you ever say anything bad about me on your research? would you even dare?, and remember the money that the companies provide are their paychecks and are the ones that they use to provide to their families.

Food companies, Big Pharmacies aren't paying the millions of dollars out of goodwill, HELL NO!, instead they always want something in return. There was a follow-up paper in public health nutrition where 133 studies were done and it was found that 82% of the independent papers said that sugar was harmful and 93% of the industry-funded papers found no harm on sugars.

Now you better ask yourself twice before you trust any food industry, make good choices and construct enough research.

But wait, the beauty of these systems is that most people at most levels are good people (the doctors) and even the food industry executives but the problem is the end results are evil since people are getting fatter, sicker, more depressed because of the foods they consume.

While I was reading the book "The China Study"  by Thomas Campbell II and T. Colin Campbell, this came up and the accuracy is unmatched;

Think that this is enough to expose them? , well no, I want you to know more...

Oh but before that, did you know that the worst our diet is the more the health care systems become rich?, and also guess what? some people on those systems have incentives that more people should be sicker for longer periods of times meaning more money for them.

A good example is the introduction of ozempic which is a drug for type 2 diabetes and what amazes me is that its dosage is for a lifetime, see how they get rich?.

The Misconceptions of Hydroponic and Organic Farming

These two terms, 'hydroponics'  and 'organic'  can be new to most of the people, so let me break it down for you;

Organic according to the oxford dictionary "relating to or derived from living matter" or it can be defined as "involving production without the use of chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides or other artificial chemicals". 

Most of the people nowadays are misled about the real meaning of organics and a good example is that when you go to a supermarket and ask for, lets say, certified organic eggs, and think that those eggs come from a pasture/farm where chickens move and run around here and there, without knowing that most of these eggs are from large confinement operations where chickens can live for a week and not see any sunlight nor move outside, which is a very bad thing.

These large confinement areas are usually called "Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation" aka CAFOS, trust me these CAFOS are not good at all and you wouldn't even want to know any of them, and if you were taken to see how their operations are conducted you would be shocked.

PS: You should probably watch this video.

And, when you visit these CAFOS or the beef operations centers you might stop eating meat at all, even if it is certified organic. See how your misled now?.

Now, the good thing is that here in Tanzania some people I can say prefer having their own TRUSTED farms and livestock and eat whatever is produced there (which is safe since they TRUST their farms and know how they process their own products and foods), but focusing on me and you who just go to butchers and buy meat, buy eggs from shops, we are at a great danger since the organic standards of our foods are getting hijacked.

Yeap, things are getting serious now, oh and did you notice that there are no jokes until now?, well this is how serious I am about this topic!, don't scroll to find one!

Hydroponics, is the process of growing plants using a water-based solution rather than soil, sounds dumb right?.

Whatever is grown using hydroponics is different from what is grown with soil, and the difference comes due to nutrients and foods grown by hydroponics usually miss the superb taste and quality of food as the food grown using soils. What makes the soil alive is all the microbial life in there(bacteria, fungi and etc), and getting all these contributes to nutritious and delicious food.

Healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy animal and finally healthy HUMANS.

You might think yourself as healthy by eating tomatoes, berries, pepper, lettuce but without any of your knowledge, these foods might be coming from hydroponic farms, which does not produce organic foods, and this is due to how compromised most of the farming methods are.

The awareness to be raised is that we are losing the true essence of organic by believing that hydroponics provide certified organics. The leading hydroponic producers in the world are;

• Netherland, these are the biggest producers of hydroponics in the world, producing lots of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers selling some of the products all over the world, so my brothers and sisters out there should be careful of what they eat.
• Peru, these are great producers of blueberries which are grown through hydroponics.
• United States, having over 2500 acres of hydroponic farms, USA has emerged as among the leading countries practicing hydroponics, with also NASA thinking of ways to grow food for space missions.

And many more...

So, all I can say is that people should be well aware of how some of the things brought by the food industries are affecting us, as some may say that hydroponics have advantages, but all of these are the lies spread to us, so wake up!.

Also, people should conduct researches, which sometimes can be hard, but for your own health, I would advice to research on whatever you eat and ask about it too.

Feel free to share this blog to all your friends and lets make everyone aware of what is really going on!

Again, Thank you so much for your time...💜
