Jugs of water filled with extra fluoride? What do you mean?


Anyways, i'm another Raw Vegan 4 Paul!! :) I've been raw vegan since 9/01/2007. I worried about making it threw the winter, but it looks like i'm going to make it!!! Being raw vegan is definitely easier in the summer!

I live near a food co-op where i "work" 16 hours a month for a 26 percent discount which bring the cost down a lot. I eat alot of smoothies, fruit and salads.

I'm 23 and canceled my health insurance last month. There's no way I'm going back to another conventional doctor ever.. No pills or Shots or Vaccines for me! Yippe!!!

I've also been a vegan for a few weeks now. I was vegetarian before that. I'm only eating raw foods this week. Today was my first day; it was fine.

I'm like obsessed with healthy food. Which is a little hypocritical because I probably drink too much :o
 
Michael Pollan once stated that his rule for nutrition is to not eat anything that has more chemicals than actual food.

It's pretty simple, really. If the label's list is more than a few words, don't buy it. If anything on the label sounds like it was created in a laboratory, don't buy it.

Example, look at a cheap, name-brand cranberry juice container. Note the long list of unnecessary ingredients. Then pick up a container of Just Juice-Cranberry, and you'll see that it simply lists, "cranberries, water". Granted, it's about $4 more, but your health is worth it. That, and the astronomical prices of organic whole foods tend to even out when you cut out all of the crap.

I'd recommend anyone interested in nutrition check out "The Thrive Diet", by Benjamin Brazier. He's a proponent of 100% raw plant based eating, and has a lot of good recipes that can be put together with just a blender or food processor.
 
A Ron Paul restaurant would feature brownies, chocolate chip cookies and fiji water lol. tones (I can partake in the fiji water)
 
I stopped into a grocery store on my way home this evening to try to pick something up for dinner. They had about two shelves of organic/natural foods, and it was basically cereal and soup. I looked for about 15 minutes and everything I picked up had a ton of ingredients, half of which I didn't even recognize. I finally found a frozen meal that I thought would be reasonable, but on my way to the register I realized that it had modified ingredients in it, so I put it back. So yes, mark me down as "frustrated".

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been checking the boards as much as I used to. This thread is nearly a year old. haha!

They sell jugs of water with extra fluoride added. It is marketed to babies and children to help with their teeth. I can't believe some of you haven't seen them! Here is a link to the company that sells it. Before clicking on this site be warned it plays music and is flash driven. If you have a slow computer you may not want to click on it. It is called Spring by Dannon so you can look it up.

I am okay when I eat at home. We only shop at Whole Foods now, so that is okay. I am still frustrated when I'm out though. If I lived closer to Whole Foods I'd probably buy their prepared foods. At least they tell you what's in them.

I finally found out I have chronic mercury poisoning from the amalgams in my mouth. That's why I am so sick. It all makes so much sense to me and I am currently detoxing for mercury. I had the amalgams removed and I am following Dr. Cutler's frequent dose oral DMSA chelation plan. It will probably take a few years to get it all out of me. My hair is growing back! WOOHOO! :D

I personally don't believe in vegetarianism or veganism. I think you'll put your body in a lot of stress because you aren't getting the necessary protein, amino acids and vitamins. I think the whole concept behind it is a scam. We are supposed to eat them as other animals eat each other. We are meant to be vegan about as much as a lion is meant to be vegan... However everyone is allowed to live how they choose, but that is just my opinion.

To back up my claim that veganism and vegetarianism are harmful, I recommend reading this link from the Weston Price website. It's a little long, but all of you who exclude eggs, dairy, and meats from your diet, should definitely read it. A woman discusses her struggle from copper/zinc imbalance due to a strict raw vegan diet. I found it extremely interesting.

Yes! I hate going to the grocery store. I feel like I am in a booby trapped zone trying not to step on the bombs. Just this morn I went to the store and went to get my no antibotic, no hormone chicken that came on the market several months ago (Tyson's). It was GREAT! Now it is no longer available where I shop. I asked the meat guy what happened to it. Apparently, Corporate made a decision not to sell it anymore for reasons he is not aware of and went on to tell me it was a very popular item and many people are complaining that it's gone.. I wandered around the meat section for 30 minutes just looking for something I felt good about to buy :(.

It isn't sold anymore because Tyson was making false claims and was forced to remove the "no antibiotic" claim. See: http://www.naturalnews.com/024756.html

Quote:

"(NaturalNews) Tyson Foods, the world's largest meat processor and the second largest chicken producer in the United States, has admitted that it injects its chickens with antibiotics before they hatch, but labels them as raised without antibiotics anyway. In response, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) told Tyson to stop using the antibiotic-free label. The company has sued over its right to keep using it.

The controversy over Tyson's antibiotic-free label began in summer 2007, when the company began a massive advertising campaign to tout its chicken as "raised without antibiotics." Already, Tyson has spent tens of millions of dollars this year to date in continuing this campaign.

Poultry farmers regularly treat chickens and other birds with antibiotics to prevent the development of intestinal infections that might reduce the weight (and profitability) of the birds. Yet scientists have become increasingly concerned that the routine use of antibiotics in animal agriculture may accelerate the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that could lead to a pandemic or other health crisis.

After Tyson began labeling its chicken antibiotic-free, the USDA warned the company that such labels were not truthful, because Tyson regularly treats its birds' feed with bacteria-killing ionophores. Tyson argued that ionophores are antimicrobials rather than antibiotics, but the USDA reiterated its policy that "ionophores are antibiotics."

Because ionophores are not used to treat human disease, however, the poultry company suggested a compromise, accepted by the USDA in December, whereby Tyson would use a label reading "raised without antibiotics that impact antibiotic resistance in humans."

Tyson's competitors Perdue Farms Inc., Sanderson Farms Inc. and Foster Farms sued, under the banner of the Truthful Labeling Coalition. In May 2008, a federal judge ruled in their favor and told Tyson to stop using the label.

Not long after, on June 3, USDA inspectors discovered that in addition to using ionophores, Tyson was regularly injecting its chicken eggs with gentamicin, an antibiotic that has been used for more than 30 years in the United States to treat urinary tract and blood infections. The drug is also stockpiled by the federal government as a treatment for biological agents such as plague.

"In contrast to information presented by Tyson Foods Inc., [inspectors] found that they routinely used the antibiotic gentamicin to prevent illness and death in chicks, which raises public health concerns," said USDA Undersecretary for Food Safety Richard Raymond.

"The use of this particular antibiotic was not disclosed to us," said USDA spokesperson Amanda Eamich.

The agency told Tyson that based on the new discovery, it would no longer consider the antibiotic-free label "truthful and accurate." It gave the company 15 days to remove the label from all its products, although that deadline was eventually extended to July 9.

But Tyson objected again, claiming that because the antibiotics are injected two to three days before the chickens hatched, the birds can truthfully be said to be "raised without antibiotics." USDA rules on how to label the raising of birds do not address anything that happens before the second day of life, the company said.

Tyson also defended the "in ovo" injection of antibiotics as standard industry practice.

"The vast majority of the industry does exactly the same thing," Tyson Vice President Archie Schaffer said.

But Hansen noted that it takes gentamicin several weeks to dissipate, so the drugs are still in the birds' bodies after they hatch.

"The labels were clearly false and misleading," he said.

Tyson agreed to voluntarily withdraw its "raised without antibiotics labels," citing "uncertainty and controversy over product labeling regulations." It then filed a lawsuit against the USDA, claiming that the agency had improperly changed the definition of "raised without antibiotics" to include the treatment of eggs.

Tyson is asking to have the regulation to be thrown out."
 
Nope, there's food everywhere. From all over the world, packed here.
One advantage to this place. Only if it wasn't so socialist, only..
 
Birdlady,

go here: http://www.localharvest.org/

It looks like there are over 1,000 places to get organic produce in PA. Only a few are health food stores of Co-Ops. be sure to look at farms, CSA, Farmers Markets and Online store.

The online store does mail order and has over 5,000 items.

I would be amazed if you are not able to find something closer to you, given that list.

Yes, the food sucks. Might as well start eating my dog's food. I find that exercising and fresh water helps flush out alot of the s**t. And I do try to eat as healty as I can, but I can tell that trying to eat healthy at a regular grocery store is almost impossible. Raw apple cider vinegar seems to help out.
 
I eat smoothies and soups that I make in the blendtec--mostly organic produce. Just made some soup:

slice of extra sharp great granddad cheddar cheese
free range raw egg
two carrots
tomato
yellow squash
1/4 red bell pepper
1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 bunch cilantro
small onion
Serrano pepper
slice of cabbage
2 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
one lime squeezed

Friction of the blender heats it up, but not too hot. Took all of 10 minutes to make--quick, delicious and now stuffed, time to fall asleep holding a book...just received a first edition self-published The Politician by Robert Welch today. :)
