Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
It’s amazing isn’t it? I feel like the food industry has kept this hidden from people. Now when I over eat it’s such an uncomfortable feeling.
Yes they have kept so much from us. Pushing certain foods for health health when those foods and oils are the cause. Pushing fiber to prevent colon cancer and its more than likely causing it. (Sorry I don’t have the source. It’s something I watched pertaining to carnivore diet and a video about how your poop schedule changes. They went into the reasons fiber is bad. I thought I was pretty educated on food ingredients. I had never read bacon, bologna and sausage ingredients. Sugar and dextrose in every processed meat including hot dogs. I saw a few weeks ago hamburger at Aldi has natural flavors. It’s scary what’s in our foods. Most of it is banned in Europe.
Have you ever looked at the Doritos they get in Europe versus the Doritos we get here in America? Ours is so full of toxic crap. Who controls this? Why can’t we get cleaner food here? I think a lot of this relates to our politicians being controlled with Campaign financing by big business. Until we break that cycle of corruption, the politicians will never be on the side of the people.
I haven’t compared the ingredients in food here vs in Europe. I’ve seen several videos on instagram listing the ingredients of many popular junk foods. Same with McDonald’s usa vs Europe. Many years ago I read in Europe they ban an ingredient in coke that makes kids very hyper. The ingredient is still in coke here.
Big food companies, big pharma and government are all connected. If the food is healthy we don’t go to the doctor when things aren’t right. Doctor says you have high bp or low bp, diabetes, high cholesterol, gerd, etc. Dr gives prescriptions for everything instead if offering advice on how to fix with changes in diet, supplements and herbs. Medicine fixes and after too long on the medication your body rejects it and doesn’t work anymore. Then you probably get a disease from food and medicine. Doctor wants to change medicine. It’s an endless cycle. Look up who owns the food companies, media and big pharma. It all leads back to Black Rock and Vanguard. One of those owns the other. Most mega food companies owns the healthy food companies. Independent people get a good company off the ground with hard work. They get popular and big companies buy them out. Always read labels on your regular food items. They will change ingredients for the worst.
So true my friend.
