Well, sir, I believe you raise alot of good points. I work in a children’s hospital & the kids with strange food allergies is appalling. I find myself wondering how we’ve survived for thousands of years if such a large segment of the population is gluten-intolerant (for example).
I try to buy non-GMO when I can but it’s hard to find. I’d like to start growing more of my own food. Perhaps this spring.
Thanks for this info.
Most of the “increase” of the food allergies and childhood mental and physical illness’ are because we now know what they are and there are means of identifying them. Before, they were lived with (or died with) and defined as “slow learner”, “frail child”, “bad behavior”, “problem child” and the like.
Add that everyone is now mainstreamed, our diet is much broader than it ever was, and there are many more of us and you will then see more problems.
All the hoopla on GMOs goes back to when GMO corn was introduced and the bacteria used to modify it was not cut from the corn. It was only one strain of the GMO corn but it caused allergic reactions and was immediately ID’ed and removed. We have had GMO corn for more than ten years with no health problems.
I,like the author, have no scientific proof, but theorize that if you eat GMO food you will add years to your lifespan. Since our lifespan is increasing, it must be true.
Since you work in or around the medical industry then you should know why there are more people with allergies and such: Because of our wonderful medical industry (soon to be dismantled by the leftists) people who would have died from these allergies have survived quite nicely and have procreated, thereby passing on the genes for those allergies.
Not so long ago, people with severe allergies would not have had the chance to grow old enough to marry and have children or would have suffered miserable lives and probably would not have had a chance to find a mate.
Now it is no big deal and more people survive but just wait until Obama says it is not cost effective to help people with allergies and the Dems renew that old bad guy Eugenics.
