Fresh, truly organic, and toxic free food is simply the best for your mind, body and spirit but it is becoming virtually impossible to find food without a bunch of chemicals used to grow it or chemicals in it. Companies are even placing dye in salmon for its pink color. Chemicals are injected into our food to enhance colors and prolong the shelf life but is it prolonging our life?
The synthetic chemical used to make the fish pink is well a dang on chemical, thus proving that it is not natural at ALL.. It gets worse…You know that yellow film often stuck on your chicken legs and wings? Well, it is an artificial dye used to color the chicken and eggs…Oh, my is color that important!!!
“Canthaxanthin is also fed to chickens to turn the skin and flesh a pleasing yellow and make egg yolks yellower. Recently food manufacturers began employing a 10 percent canthaxanthin powder as a coloring agent. For example, the giant juice manufacturer Ocean Spray started adding canthaxanthin to drinks like Mega Melon and Pink Grapefruit juice.I have no problem with Ocean Spray; it has clearly labeled the inclusion of canthaxanthin in its juice formula, allowing the consumer a conscious choice to buy the product or not. Its consumer hotline describes this 10 percent canthaxanthin powder as follows: “Canthaxanthin is a red-orange carotenoid pigment from the same family as beta-carotene. Because it is not plentiful in nature, we use it in its synthetic form which is nature-identical. It is not Kosher because of the addition of bovine gelatin which is used as a processing aid.” (Retrieved from the article, Is Something Fishy Going On? http://www.motherlindas.com/is_something_fishy_going_on.htm)…
Well, I am not going to go on a rant urging you to buy organic but what I want to encourage you to do is to number one, pray over your food and number two start writing to government officials to at least require these distributors to label and LIST ALL ingredients used to produce a product……We need to at least know what we are eating and several people are allergic to these synthetic dyes and have no idea why they are having insomnia, itchiness, dizziness, depression, anxiety, and even confusion. My advice would be to see your doctor, take an allergy test and remove some of this toxic stuff out of your diet… God gave you wisdom so use it….God does not want us to keep ingesting poison…that’s playing with God…..When you become enlightened carry on in the right way.
