YOUR BODY,: 

YOUR BODY, YOUR LIFE “Do you not know your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit…?” –1 Corinthians 8:19

PowerPoint Presentation: 

“You are what you eat.” Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach, 1864 German philosopher and anthropologist

PowerPoint Presentation: 

"Ninety per cent of the diseases known to man are caused by cheap foodstuffs." -nutritionist Victor Lindlahr , 1923

USDA: 

USDA United States federal executive department responsible for developing and executing U.S. federal government policy on farming, agriculture, and food.

OFFICIAL USDA MISSION:: 

OFFICIAL USDA MISSION: Aims to meet the needs of farmers and ranchers, promote agricultural trade and production, work to assure food safety, protect natural resources, foster rural communities and end hunger in the U.S. and abroad.

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Reality check… The USDA created a food pyramid in 1996 to educate Americans about nutrition. This pyramid was not supported by nutritional science…the information came from food corporations whose interest was in selling more of their products.

Reality check…: 

Reality check… The result of this food pyramid has been that Americans are more over-weight than ever, and diabetes has become a pandemic.

USDA contributes to food campaigns: 

USDA contributes to food campaigns “Pork. The other white meat” “Got Milk?” “Beef. It’s what's for dinner.”

Reality check…: 

Reality check… The USDA does not require truth in labeling. As Americans we don’t have a right to know what is in our foods… Exactly what are “natural flavors”? Why don’t we know about genetically-modified foods? Why don’t we know about foods containing toxic substances, i.e. bromine?

FOOD CORPORATIONS: 

FOOD CORPORATIONS According to the USDA, “natural” means a product containing no artificial ingredient or added color, and one that is only minimally processed. This doesn’t mean “good for you, or Healthy” Companies aren’t required to disclose ingredients under this blanket label, and this can have devastating consequences for people with allergies. “Artificial” means “an ingredient not found in nature and therefore must be synthetically produced as an artificial ingredient.” In other words, a man-made chemical.

BROMINE: 

BROMINE This endocrine disruptor is found in baked goods made with processed white flour, in soft drinks, and because bromine is a constituent of agrichemicals, it may be in any non-organic food we eat. Bromine competes with iodine for receptor sites on glandular tissues in our bodies. This leads to hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, and serious problems with other endocrine glands.

GMOs…: 

GMOs… Genetically modified organisms Labeled “FRANKENFOODS” by concerned consumers

GMOS: WHAT ARE THEY?: 

GMOS: WHAT ARE THEY? Foods which have been genetically modified by splicing in genes from viruses, bacteria, antibiotic-resistant marker genes, and genes from other species, i.e., adding a gene from a fish to your tomato.

GMO’s : 

GMO’s WHY ARE THEY A PROBLEM? They cross-pollinate with non-GMO crops. Because they are patented, Monsanto and other seed manufacturers have successfully sued farmers whose fields have been contaminated via cross pollination, destroying the farmers’ livelihoods…these companies will eventually have complete control over the food supply.

GMO’s: 

GMO’s Some seeds have been altered to make the plants sterile. This means their seeds cannot reproduce. When they cross-pollinate with non-GMO plants farmers will not have seed for the following year.

GMO’s: 

GMO’s Potentially high-allergen genes from one organism can be transferred into other organisms. Allergic individuals will have no way of choosing safe foods. Serious food allergies can be life-threatening.

GMO’s: 

GMO’s Banned in Europe 85% - 95% of Americans polled over the last 20 years want mandatory labeling California is supporting an initiative to put mandatory labeling to a vote, bypassing the biotech and food industries and their powerful Washington lobbyists
