Processed Meats Declared Too Dangerous for Human Consumption

"Processed meats include bacon, sausage, hot dogs, sandwich meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, salami and virtually all red meat used in frozen prepared meals. They are usually manufactured with a carcinogenic ingredient known as sodium nitrite.2 This is used as a color fixer by meat companies to turn packaged meats a bright red color so they look fresh. Unfortunately, sodium nitrite also results in the formation of cancer-causing nitrosamines in the human body. And this leads to a sharp increase in cancer risk for those who eat them."

Yikes! I always try to eat 'clean,' but this is just more motivation to do so. Processed meats are just one small part of the evil food world.

GMOs are pretty scary. Obama and the gov't recently passed legislation to help protect big companies, like Monsanto(the largest pesticide co that creates all our food) that produce gmos. Where are the studies about the effects of gmos on our bodies?

Most people do not even think about where our food comes from. In our fast-paced, hectic lifestyles it's just easier to buy what's readily available and the cheapest. Cost has always been a concern, but when it comes to what I put in my, and my children's, bodies I will pay extra to keep us healthy.
