I've seen a number of
decisions come from our courts and our gov't that have concerned me, but
this particular decision concerns me more than many others.
Since when should our gov't stop a company from being
concerned for our well being? How about when it comes to
protecting the profits of big industry....that's when, and it's not
right.
It's been made known by past FDA leaders who have retired that the FDA
protects big business profits instead of the American Public as it is
supposed to, now the courts are getting in on the act, and we SHOULD be
very concerned.
Who are they protecting this
time: The Meat Industry.
The topic: MAD COW
DISEASE.
Although Mad Cow
Disease is considered to be "deadly," the gov't says it is
within their scope to "prevent" such testing. I
have just one thing to say at this moment...EXCUSE ME???
What reason would they have for making such a decision than to protect
the profits of the meat industry? It is certainly to our
benefit that every cow be tested, yet they want to block this decision
by a company who puts our safety first. Something certainly
sounds a bit "fishy" to me.

There are many facts
about Mad Cow that the general public just does not know.
I've been researching this issue for several years now, and what I have
found scares me so much that this meat-loving fool has quit eating
meat. Lots of my friends and family "roll their eyes" at me
when I tell them I have quit, and they note that they "will never give
up meat," regardless of the reasons presented as to why they should.
I was of that same opinion too...until I started
researching this issue and found out what is happening in the meat
industry and how dangerous this is to our health. The
problems caused by Mad Cow can take up to 10-20 years before symptoms
start to arise. Because of this lag, people have a false
sense of security. What many do not know is that Mad Cow
Disease can take the life of a
child very quickly, and already has done so a number of times.
It's been awhile since I have researched this issue, but I am
going to start again, and I will write blogs to share this information
in my "
Better
Health" Group. Mad Cow is very dangerous,
and most people know little to nothing about it. Maybe you
should!
Consider joining our group...I will be sending out emails to all
members as I post new blogs regarding important health issues.
Ignore
your health & it will go away
...but it is amazing how many people don't pay attention to their health
UNTIL
they lose it. Don't let this happen to you.

Why do I think the above disclaimer is funny? Glad you asked...
The medical industry trains doctors that the cure to disease is drugs and surgery. Drugs treat the symptoms of disease, they DO NOT cure disease. They are treating the symptoms, not the cause of the disease. Preventing and reversing disease is quite simple and the same methods apply to almost everything...but, the medical industry cannot make the big money on these methods, and quite frankly, one does not need to be a doctor to show someone how to properly take care of their body. It really is that simple. Bottom Line...if the medical industry taught people how to prevent and reverse disease, it would bankrupt the industry. There would be a lot of empty hospitals. Do any of you believe that they would do that to themselves? Think about it.

Gregory, I grew up on a cattle farm and have an intimate knowledge of what big industry can do to the family farm. We have bigger problems than just this, our Government is protecting the insurance industry, too, by allowing bans on smoking and trans-fats; our private rights and personal freedoms to pursue happiness are being taken away by the courts. yes, police Powers are in place to protect our nation as a whole, but when the court stretches those powers to dictate what I can and can not consume is going, too far. The Constitution has gone from a broad concept of over-riding ideals to a contract that lawyers defend in court. Great post, it got me thinking! (PS: An interesting point about this issue is that The Mormon Church controls over 75% of the beef production, etc. in the US.)
