Americans can blame their poor health in part on the food processors of this country.
When it is impossible to purchase milk without great amounts of salt added to it...cereals & breads too have either very high amounts of sugar and salt...and are often not whole grain....folks who want to eat healthy are not able to.
1 Cup of "SHUR Fine Brand"Lowfat1% Milk which was purchased at Bohning's Associated Food Stores of Ponchatoula Louisiana has 125 MG of salt in it.
Certainly some salt is natural it is an animal product.
But if you read the label on every brand of milk in whatever grocery nearest you...
You will see that the amount of salt in milk is all over the place.
Some dairies put less than this other quite a bit more than this.
I have seen milk with over 200 MG of salt per cup so you know they are adding salt hoping people will drink theirs like the taste & they will become addicted to the flavor of their unique salted milk instead of someone else's....makes theirs taste better!
When President Obama was elected for his first term, I was impressed that First Lady Michelle early in his presidency made a pitch to WalMart with a bunch of children in the background to lower the prices of fresh fruits.
For starters those prices did not last very long and since they are purchasing fruit and everything so so cheap over seas....farmers are not making enough to survive so they either picking too soon or too late and the fruit is not good....
There must be a frenzy down in those poor Caribbean & South American Countries to pick fruit too soon that typically much simply will never ripen on ones window sill....it rots before it ripens...
While other things get to market so over ripe that bananas are seeding. And this...getting to market too late could be fault of the transportation....
Such as truck drivers who may lolly gag along part of their routes then REALLY PUSH on the highways later on....to make up for lost time!
We have all recently seen how some truck drivers are no longer the safety conscience polite drivers showing road courtesy anymore...we have all seen big trucks toppled over along highways in recent years because they were driving too fast...
Recently my husband & I saw one SPEEDING on the on ramp of I-12 in Louisiana coming from behind us just inches from our bumper...my husband pulled to the right side of the on ramp as dangerous as it is to pull over on a ramp....it would been more dangerous to have a large truck on our bumper going 45miles an hour he was trying to press my husband to on the ramp.
I emphasize SOME truckers because we slept in our van long periods in truck stops in the past and found that most truck drivers act & live more respectfully and admirably than some college graduate professionals such as attorneys, physicians nurses or teachers today.
For the truckers bathrooms that I used...women's & my husband said the same for the men's trucker bathrooms...
They were far cleaner & neater than most church bathrooms we have used.
And back to the fruit that got to market old....
We nearly broke our teeth biting into a Mexican banana that was seeding because it took so long to get to market....the center of the bananas had hard pieces....seeding.
My husband & I have noticed in many stores and businesses including WalMart, KMart,, Winn Dixies some employees working very hard while other employees just stand or sit around socializing doing a bunch of nothing.
Late today in the Hammond Louisiana WalMart we noticed a senior woman about 55-65 years old push pulling a dolly placing under a high stack of pallets of can goods down aisle to stock shelves.
Strange that management of any store would place a female to that task at all.
From a standard of ethics such things should never happen and from a spiritual stand point any company who abuses their employees and customers by charging high prices to pay for labor salaries for people even some managers who do nothing in carrying the weight of work needing done...
Upon the backs of consumers in higher prices....
Such companies will fail!
You will not see our government bailing out WalMart the way they did the banks!
And if you think "Obama Care" is too costly and will never work....
If only you could perceive what a high percentage of diabetics & Hypertensive and heart patients would not suffer their health conditions if food processing companies were not putting so much junk including high amounts of sugar & salt in everything from bread, milk, fruit juices now have a tremendous amount of both sugar & salt added to them.
Take a look at Kellogg's Rice Krispies 11/4 cup dry has 190 MG Sodium and 4Grams of sugar!
Add milk and who can eat it without raising blood pressure and pushing someone who is pre-diabetic over the edge into diabetes.
And what about Kellogg's Special K Protein Shakes for patients who cannot eat enough.
The milk chocolate variety has 220 MG of sodium. and 18 Grams of sugar!
Wonderful potassium level but my husband who needs such drinks for the protein & potassium cannot drink these without his tinnitus ear ringing going very high.
Come on folks...we all must complain to manufacturers of all products we enjoy eating that could be produced healthier but the companies are either too lazy to change the way they do things or they just do not care....
They say salt is a preservative...but no one wants extra preservatives...we want to eat fresh food....
And when food is brought to market promptly, not raising prices even more because you have complied with consumer demands...
Everything will sell fresh be eaten fresh so the cost of the preservatives is actually an expense that you can delete.
People will be healthier health care costs for all companies in insurance benefits, sick leave & loss of productivity...all will go down making the bottom line for everyone better.
And then maybe our Federal Government won't be printing more & more money causing the value of our dollar to go down further to pay for the disease that food producers have caused.
How's about each of you who reads this sign as a FOLLOWER and then click comments and add your comments please...also share these blogs on Facebook Twitter etc etc...
Let's join forces and force the changes we all desire and need to be healthy!
Next time I will highlight different food producers sins and you too can do the same share the sins of producers of products you wish your family could eat safely!
not paying anyone not their own employees a fair wage
