I disagree with 99% of what RFK Jr. is doing. But he's taking on the biggest, meanest Gorilla in the jungle when he goes after the garbage that the Government allows to be put in our food. I don't
care who does that, as long as it gets done. Now whether it will ever do any good is yet to be seen. The March Against Monsanto faded away after a few years.
A lot of it falls into the "Preservatives" category, and in my opinion, it's unnecessary. Because if a food product is good, it will be purchased and subsequently eaten within days. Then they would struggle to make and ship enough for the population.
I say make a good product in the first place, and leave that garbage out. If it goes bad from sitting on the shelf in a grocery store, it's time to talk to your food prep people and make something people will like that won't be left on the shelves long enough to rot. So they use additives to keep it from going bad that are made specifically for extending grocery store shelf life, with no concern for the people that are eating the food. In fact, that's where the term "shelf life" comes from. (The lack of concern for their customers is due to greed.)
I had a friend years ago that lived in Michigan and worked in a commercial kitchen. She lost her job for suggesting that. A little too often, perhaps, but the company should have listened. There's major money in quality food. Just ask anyone who shops at Farmer's Markets...
If you wonder who is behind this push for all this garbage they put in everything now days, a lot of it came when companies like Monsanto, a chemical company, bought up the rights to the world's seed supply. According to the
Center for Food Safety Monsanto controls 60% of the global corn and soybean seed markets, and more than 90% of U.S. soybean acreage and 80% of corn acreage is planted with Monsanto’s patented GMO seeds.
Now Monsanto is owned by Bayer Corporation, another chemical company. They're a German company that can't sell many of it's products in Europe, so they take their unwanted business to the US. And they have been for decades.
