Has anyone noticed what it says on the back of their toothpaste?
Mine says.....WARNINGS - Keep out of the reach of children under 6 years of age. If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
Now I have to ask - why would makers of toothpaste put something that could be poisonous into their product, that people use on a daily basis and have to put directly into their mouth? Has anyone researched fluroide? Where it came from, and what it used to be used for? Some pretty interesting information is now out there that the government does not want you to know about.
How many ways can we be dumbed down? Mmmmmm - I guess it's unlimited!
My rant for today........:-)
CONGRESS BLINDFOLDS CONSUMERS- REMOVING RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR FOOD
On March 8, despite massive public opposition, including 50,000 calls and letters from supporters of the Organic Consumers Association, the House of Representatives passed the controversial "national food uniformity" labeling law, which would eliminate over 200 state food safety labeling laws. The law basically takes away local government and states' power to require food safety labels such as those required in California and other states on foods or beverages that are likely to cause cancer, birth defects, allergic reactions, or mercury poisoning. The bill would also prevent local municipalities and states from passing laws requiring that genetically engineered foods and ingredients be labeled. Under the bill, hundreds of state laws and regulations would be eliminated, including those relating to the safety of milk, fish, and shellfish. In order to become law, the bill will now have to go to the Senate for a vote. Because of the enormous public backlash against the bill, Washington analysts believe the bill will have great difficulty passing in the Senate. OCA and other public interest organizations have vowed to go "all out" to stop this anti-democratic, anti-consumer bill in the Senate.

Unbelievable. I've been so angry about food recently. With dad's bypass and cleaning his cabinets I have been reading a LOT of labels. It's TERRIBLE!!! How can people be working to make such health damaging food so dominant in our culture. And don't get me started on all the new televisions they installed in our local Jewel store. I feel assaulted when I go in there. Now I choose to drive 20 minutes further to shop for food that I know is healtier and not being bathed in cathode rays all day long. I'm so tired of being treated by businesses as a walking check book there to be abused by any advertising tactic they think will get me to part with my money.
Rant on, love!
