Did you know that almost every food known to man is used in the manufacturing of vaccines? That tiny amounts of all these various food proteins remain in the vaccine. That peanut oil, walnut oil, almond oil, fish oil, shellfish oil, soy oil, corn oil, wheat germ oil are all used in vaccine adjuvants and the ingredients do not appear on the package insert and is protected as a trade secret? That babies as young as 3 months have been tested and have allergies to peanuts and shellfish? Doesn't that seem a bit weird. Do you believe the "hygiene theory" that the medical profession is using to explain the huge increase in food allergies? Our children are getting food allergies because we are too clean....

I'm assuming you've seen "The Future of Food" and that it made your blood run cold too. As the mom of a child allergic to 6 of the 8 big allergic foods (wheat, soy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and dairy) genetic modification is a huge concern for me. I can't believe that Europeans and Asians are up in arms over this issue and food labeling there is mandatory, and here it doesn't even make the news. Banning "Franken-foods" altogether would be ideal, but short of that I really want the GM foods to be labeled so that I can at least choose not to eat them or feed them to my kids! I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts and news about this important issue. Great post! I’m assuming you’ve seen “The Future of Food” and that it made your blood run cold too.
