Cry Murder!

Of the advanced countries, I think U.S. is the only one that permits use of several genetically modified, hormone induced foods. European countries have banned this completely. Consumers raised hell in these countries, so for eg. in the case of milk or beef, farmers no longer use antibiotics or inject hormones of any kind. Meat eaters say the beef in Europe is tastier than the U.S. I can say the same for milk. It is way better and natural tasting. We found the same in the case of cheese, yogurt, ice-cream, you name it.

U.S. milk and beef have high traces of synthetic hormones that are directly responsible for breast cancer and other types of cancers. Its been several years since Europe banned it and the U.S. still continues with these modified foods. Just imagine what it does to our children who have these food their entire life. Not only are they generally obese but are also at high risk for cancers and several other types of diseases.

Consumers here should also take responsibility by just boycotting these harmful substances instead of helping fill the pockets of the large businesses and individuals behind these things. I wonder where the lobbyists are when it comes to real issues. Why are we blaming health care costs when the root causes can be eliminated?
