The China we don't know

[BugSick]

I am sorry but this was information that caught my attention

I would have to say WASH your fruits and veggies don't take for granted your foods are safe anymore

We are living a new and improved way of life created from our so called experts.....

now we fear what we eat and feed our pets....it is a challenge to stay healthy these days....

"Consumers are much more vulnerable now to large episodes of foodborne illnesses."

15 percent of the food Americans eat is imported from other countries. "That may sound like a small amount," he said. "But it represents 80 percent of the seafood and 45 percent of the fresh fruit consumed in the U.S." The problem isn't where the food comes from, but how it's grown or processed before it reaches American soil.

"The centuries-old tradition of using human excreta on farmland is widespread in East Asia, especially in China and Vietnam," Doyle said. "And unsanitary polluted water is used in production and processing. The result of these practices is contamination by harmful microbes such as Salmonella."

Imported food also comes from Asian countries where growers are allowed to use pesticides banned by the U.S.

"They're not only using these pesticides, they're using them in excessive levels," Doyle said. "This leads to residue contamination in foods."

The percentage of food imported into the U.S. doubles about every 10 years. At this rate, the U.S. will be a "net food-importing country within 20 years," he said.

"Considering the dramatic changes occurring in our sources of food and the weaknesses present in our current food safety system, Congress needs to step up its funding of research to ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply," he said. "The longer we must wait for solutions the more challenging it will be to make effective corrective actions."

Well Bugsick i can tell you why you are all in a coma state,its really very simple.We in Uk have been like that for 10 years,in fact since Tony Blair came to power.Many in UK think 'they' put something in the water,but all of a sudden the country became apathetic and this government bulldozed ahead getting away with more n more outrageous acts.No said anything-maybe fear plays a part cos they jail old age pensioners here when they don't pay their council tax.
But back in the early 90's there was mass demonstrations in London when Maggie brought in the poll tax.Where did those firebrands go?
Here is a government thats put cctv cameras EVERYWHERE.Keep innocent peoples DNA on a data base,allow govt inspectors into your home to take photos so they can tax you more for having an extension.AND NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING.
Well obviously Blair had discovered some sort of evil elixer and got it into the British people.Then he cosied up to your chap Mr Bush and let him have some so he could subdue you lot. In fact it could be these 2 jokers who invented the morgs.Blair has left Uk now (Praise the Lord) so he is safe from it and no doubt Mr Bush will go off and hide somewhere safe when he leaves the W House.

well so much is cotaminated now, i could just get all upset and worry myself to death. i KNOW about human poop in manure many countries used it for centuries like egypt. in egypt they peel their fruit and drink bottled water. THE BIGGER CRIME IS WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE IN THE UNITED STATES to the state of our food. i often visit a very clean little german market, and their stuff is all from sweden and germany. i do better eating their food. if they poop in the pickled beets i would rather eat THAT then the gmo's pesticides, irradiation aqnd god knows else we do to ours. have you ever considered all this HYPE is an excuse to just MESS WITH OUR FOOD MORE WITHOUT EVEN TELLING US? it is NOT a new thing us getting food and goods from china. what i DO wonder about is why ALL OF THE SUDDEN RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, ALL THESE TAINTED GOODS MAGICALLY APPEAR FROM CHINA? could it be they have most favored nation status in trade, more folks might buy usa goods with all this chaos? oh, i do get local grown organic produce delivered to my door believe me. UNFORTUNATELY, we live in a world that is messed up as a big soup sandwich and the creamy variety is better. yes people choosing to be ignorant makes matters worse. MY MAIN QUESTION, IS HOW TO BEAT THIS SPEADING INFECTIOUS DISEASE WE HAVE. yes knowing the world is good, and things going on. BUT I CHOOSE NOT TO WALLOW IN IT. i DO understand why you are so angry if i was you busick i would be so angry, yes i see where you come from. but anger is an emotion I AM JUST TOO ILL TO EVEN DEAL WITH. so it works these problems in the back of my mind, i sign petitions and all. i leaned long ago that being consumed by worry has almost put me in the grave a few times, even before got this disease. i refuse to let negativity rule my life, it is no longer a luxury for me. but thank you for your informative posts. i just hope not stressed , worried angry all the time to where that is all that is left. i do care. sombody said that baking soda a good wash for the fruits and veggies.

You always make GOOD sense.I will never say ignorance is bliss or choose to be an ostrich..............However, I agree, getting so totally caught up in what the world is "doing to us" made me worse. Focusing on empowering myself rather than becoming fanatical about things I cannot control has done a world of good towards healing. And, yes, I am tooooo ill to allow myself to WALLOW in or let negative doomsday thinking rule any part of my mind.When i stop WASTING energy on worrying, my body respond positively EVERY time. (Read up on that- you will find that there is evidence to support that a positive attitude and positive energy put into healing actually change the cells in your body. You can worry and wish yourself to death, literally.) I am not out there looking for the EVIL in the world, rather the solutions to HEAL my body and it is working. When i go outside, I do not try to spot chemtrails-- the other day I noticed that the sky was beautiful and the sun felt wonderful and the leaves are green. What good does it do me to miss the beauty of a beautiful sky, worry that the UV rays are going to kill me so stay in the house or worry that the bugs in the trees and grass are going to get me NONE!!!!!! bs Reading "doomsday" takes that away. Chicken little is NOT my friend. I cannot change chem trails and I cannot stop anyone from fertilizing with sh**, but I sure can eat nutritiously and supplement and get as much exercise as I can tolerate. These have all made a difference. There is a life outside of morgellons. When I started focusing on that and LIVING and being pro-active with my health, I have seen major improvement. MY attitude made a difference.Read one of Carla's latest posts-- what has helped the most???? taking the right supplements. But, she had to buy them and take them for them to work. Everyone here who has seen improvement took action. They did not give up and focus on the worst case scenario.
I went to the farmers market to buy "organic" produce and got "Crappy" veggies that cost way to much! Where did I get great produce that tasted wonderful??? From the oriental market- the Chinese market..... Same place I buy my Aloe vera drink and mangosteen for way less than the health food store and internet charge. I feel SOOO much better drinking the aloe drink. So, if they are using "poop", well, I will have to live with that.My doctor and a few friends immigrated from China and all are healthier than me. The old couple down the street are well into their nineties. My gosh, and here we have been hauling in poop to rototill into the garden for years! I live in the midwest and that has been a common practice for over 50 years, so now the gov't is gonna worry about it!In my opinion, poop is poop, human or animal..... and I would want to wash what is going in my mouth anyway. we grew up with an apple tree in the yard. I am 51 and even back then we washed the apples before we chomped into them or used them for cooking. I am sure we would all be appalled at what is going in to our food.Salmonella- gosh, you don't have to worry about China- check your local well, you are probably drinking it. I have heard some of the worst cases of salmonella, e coli and such from AMERICAN fast food than just about any other source and they are '"controlled" situations. Hmmm, does not look like that has been a big deterent to happy meals sales.
We had one of the worst botulism outbreaks in the US right here in the town I live in. Several people died and many were made very ill for a long time. My mother and son ate at the resturant the day it started. My son was the only possible child and they did not figure out the food source immediately, so everything was suspect.
IF I wanted to be EXTREME OR FANATICAL that would have been the end of eating out or I would have become a fanatic about food in resturants.
That was 25 years ago.
My son died in a car accident. Maybe I should stop driving because it is just tooo dangerous.
I cannot imagine how much life, good meals and fun I would have missed had I ALLOWED myself to be consumed by fear or things that I really just had to learn to live with.
I would starve if I had to rely on only what i grew and knew how it was made.
...................Let me repeat..................
Focusing on empowering myself rather than becoming fanatical about things I cannot control has done a world of good towards healing.
