Good Foods for Great Health

Food for thought.

Smithfield Farms, the largest pork producing farm in the USA was sold in September to China with the unanimous support of its stockholders!! The hogs will still be raised here, but slaughtered and packaged for sale there before being sent back here. This includes labels of
ï·Morrell
ï·Eckrich
ï·Krakus
ï·Cudahy
ï·Premium Hams
ï·Cook's
ï·Gwaltney


The same with many chickens. They can now be shipped there, but when they come back all that needs to be labeled is that they WERE RAISED IN THE USA. Not that they were processed in China !!!

Our great FDA at work again. The chickens will be all processed and most sold to fast food restaurants for sandwiches, along with schools and supermarkets. The China slaughter and processing are not nearly equal to the requirements here.

*BAD FOOD*
We recently learned that Starkist Tuna is now owned by Korea, and is in big conflict with the U.S.concerning quality, safety, and records, which Korea refuses to produce.
Read several articles on Google about this, and even one that was defending the eating of tilapia said to avoid the fish that came from China?

Also, I had just returned home from buying Albertson's 4-day special of 4 bags of frozen tilapia for the price of one? Sure enough, on the top of the bags, it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said,"China".

Read all the way to the end.

Recently a Food inspector on TVsaid he had lived overseas and he had seen the filthy conditions their foods are raised and processed in. It is enough to make you throw up. Some foreign workers have to wear masks as they work in these places, because the food is so rotten and filthy, it makes them want to throw up. Many of their fish on Fish Farms are fed raw sewage daily. He said he has seen so much filth throughout their food growing and processing that he would "never" eat any of it. They raise this filth, put some food coloring and some flavorings on it, then they ship it to the USA & Canada for YOU to consume and feed to YOUR families. They have no Food & Safety Inspectors. They ship it to you to buy and poison your families and friends.

Imported food we eat and the junk we buy:
ï·Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China,
ïand so are most of Europe's Best.
ï·Arctic Gardens are OKso isBirdseye.

*Never buy the grocery store garlic unless it is clearly marked from USA or Canada*, the other stuff is grown in people poop (even worse than chicken poop). China is the largest producer of garlic in the world; U.S. is next.

*Buy only local honey*, much honey is shipped in huge containers from China and re-packed here.

Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria. Doesn't work anyway, big scam.

If the country of origin is not clearly marked, beware!

If produce, ask an employee.

Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by" or "imported by". We don't understand the lack of mandatory labeling, especially the produce.

The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item in the store.

Go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary eye open the rest of the year.

Please read this very carefully, and read to the very bottom. It's important for all of us.

How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it produced in theU. S. or Canada?

FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '. - SO, for a FEW MORE CENTS, BUY THE *LIBERTY* BRAND.

*GOLD BRAND or DOLE is from CALIFORNIA*.

Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that come from China .

ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME FROM CHINA OR INDONESIA. THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALMON" ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH.

*Recently The Montreal Gazette had an article* by the Canadian Government on how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken wire crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken s..t.

If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed; e.g: growth hormones, expired antibiotic from humans?Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these countries
ï·Vietnam
ï·China
ï·Philippines

Check this out personally.



Steinfeld's Pickles are made in India - just as bad!

Another example is in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia.

Also check those little fruit cups. They used to be made in Canada in the Niagara region until about 2 years ago. They are now packaged in China. Most sold in Aldi stores.

While the Chinese export inferior and even toxic products, dangerous toys, and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands! Yet, 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.

Well, duh ! Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?

SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA and the UNITED STATES.

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.

THINK ABOUT THIS

If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor ... fast! The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.

Just one month of trading losses will hit the Chinese for 8% of their North American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness are worth it.


Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are intelligent, and NOBODY can take us for granted *Start reading labels more closely and buy something else even if it cost a few cents more*.

This is really sad.

The basically do the same thing in the US and Canada, growth hormones, antibiotics, and feeding Tilapia poop.

 

[Mucky_Waters]

Actually, if they didn't feed the fish or "chickens" antibiotics or growth hormones they probably could classify poop fed Tialpia as "organic", which might even be better than the alternative. From what I understand, many of fish pond raised Tilapia in the Philippines can be fed and brought to market size simply by eating algae that they cultivate directly in the ponds, and to encourage algae growth they often throw chemical fertilizer directly in the pond water with the fish.
I ate a lot of Tilapia this year during my 2 month stay in the Philippines this year, Farm raised Tilapia and Milkfish are the staple food items there, that and rice. The rice fields are just as contaminated with pesticides, fungicides, and chemical fertilizers, and if that isn't bad enough the rice is generally dried right on the shoulders of the main highways and roads before it is taken to the rice mills.
Here's a video my wife took while we were riding on my motorcycle on the highway. You can see some of it bagged up, and some spread out drying and a couple guys sweeping and shoveling some of it into piles. This is just how it's done there.

These are the fish you need to worry about.

These are the fish you need to worry about.

Well that was disgusting.
I wonder where all these complications from human overpopulation are going to end?

·Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China,

Not all Green Giant foods come from the east. I worked in a Green Giant canning plant in Washington when I was young... Dang that was a long time ago, I guess now they could outsource their products. Also did some vegetable packing for a huge plant that did various customers, Birds Eye was the premium product there, I recommend it.

I've picked about 25 quarts of red raspberries so far. I've made pies and shortcake. Vacuum sealed and froze a bunch, too.

 

[Jeanie master]

Avocado's good for you too, one of the good fats.

I just typed up a few things on nuts, we have noticed recommendations on eating are heading back to real food. Real heavy cream for your coffee, on and on.

I will check out those links, appreciate it. I refuse to take statins, so trying different ways to control cholesterol.

Have you ever heard of Dr. William Davis, wrote "Wheat Belly"...facinating. I lost 40 lbs. eating fats, nuts, whole foods and avoiding all suger, grains, and processed foods.

We harvest the watercress that we grow in our pond and eat it, juice it, or add it to green smoothies. Great stuff! And great filtration for your pond!

 

[DeepWater]

I love the taste of fresh watercress. What other plants would grow good in a garden pond, bog included, that would be safe to eat? Is anything normally safe, but when grown in a pond, becomes unsafe for consumption?

 

[sissy]

lemon grass .parsley ,oregano,celery .It is like putting waste water from your pond into your veggie garden .I got a bumper crop of potato's from the waste water again this year

Your pond won't make anything unsafe to consume, any more than your garden soil would. You are generally consuming the top of any plant that grows in your pond, so just make sure to wash it well and you'll be fine. One year we grew tomatoes in our bog, just to see if we could. I had a couple of cuttings that I had pruned off of my garden plants so I just stuck them in the water. They grew like CRAZY and produced loads of delicious tomatoes.

We pump water out of our pond to water our gardens on a regular basis. I figure I'm going to use water for the garden anyway - I may as well give the plants the nutrient rich water and give the fish the fresh water. Seems like a nice trade off! It's a bit slower way to water - I drop a sump pump in the pond and pump water or stick a watering can in and fill it up a few gallons at a time for my hanging baskets - but it's kind of relaxing when I'm not in a hurry.
