The Problem with Giant Food Manufacturers
Are you aware of the fact that the vast majority of the thousands of items found in our local grocery store are actually produced by one of five gigantic multi-national food corporations. These companies have a singular goal in mind and it, unfortunately, does not deal with the welfare of your body. They are singularly concerned with the bottom line. To learn more about the industry, feel free to watch the documentary, Food Inc.
The corporations, often motivated by the demands of Wall Street and their desire to make a profit, employ chemists who create these Frankenstein foods.The production of such foods often takes place on an assembly line where worker after worker adds a slew of man-made preservatives, chemicals, and additives. With this cocktail of non-natural ingredients, these food items are able to last for months or years on shelves before expiring.
It is also important to note that these foods have been shown to alter the chemical composition of our brain. However, these corporations market these items to be consumer friendly while they are, in actually, detrimental to our bodies. While conducting research for his book Belly Fat Free, I interviewed scores of food chemists who are the employees of these food manufacturing giants. The interviews revealed that these chemists, per the requests of upper management, often tried to make their items as addictive as possible by sprinkling caffeine, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, or something else.
Many of these additives that can be found within staples of the American diet are as addictive as cigarettes, alcohol, and a number of drugs. You can find the alarming specifics of this in this more extensive exposé.
