Healthtrap food! How toxic is our food?

Kebab skewers from spoiled meat, fruit juices as a sugar broth, sausage made from meat scraps and declared as natural foods turn out to be poison skidding. Our food is poisoned and what lies on the shelves of some supermarkets is a chemical as a shopping bag made of plastic. Where food is cheated on and what products really make a sustainable and healthy enough is explained on nachhaltigleben.de.

Not all the praises on the package are true. Organic label cam give some orientation when shopping.

It sounds so natural, so healthy and so humane: without flavor-enhancing additives is written on the label on the packages that jump in the eye. But the manufacturers have hidden their poison club. She lurks in the extracts that are mixed into the product and not declared. Behind the additive-free soup, a broth contaminated with glutamate lurk. A delicious fruit juice may have been pushed up with 40 sugar cubes …

The list of obscenities could go on almost indefinitely. The promise of “no artificial dyes” dissolve into thin air, because again, the producers mix concentrated amounts of fruit and vegetables into their food, which need not be labeled with E-numbers, and their quality must not meet high quality standards. How badly the consumer is ripped confirms an investigation of Consumer Organizations in the year 2010.

151 Products with the so-called Clean label (it is called these marketing claims on packaging) were tested. 90 percent of the food with the message “no flavor enhancers” have been used other flavor enhancers. 60 percent of the products were “no dyes” stained with substitutes. Despite the promise of “pure nature” or were “natural” products found in food additives, do not come from Mother Nature. Consumers are being lied to, cheated, deceived and fooled. For more examples? Here you go: You like to eat veal sausage? If there is only veal remains in the tube is not secure! With the help of enzymes ham-similar products become raw ham. If your eggs come from happy hens as it says on the box is a matter of luck, for there is no labeling requirement for poultry farming only for laying hens.

Another fight against windmills is fought by foodwatch – “the food saver.” The organization sued for publication of the protocols of the Food Code Commission. This committee determines guidelines and principles for the sales descriptions of food. Here are definitions of foods that can leave misleading impressions leave to the consumer.

Example: merged meat fibers may be described as form-meat and ham and damaged salt herrings as wreck herrings. The Higher Administrative Court of North Rhine-Westphalia dismissed the foodwatch action in the second instance. The question is justified: What is so secret in these meeting protocols? Is the consumer not allowed to know what cheating terms are used on the products he/she consumes? Non-transparency just promotes speculation and does harm the consumer that is a fact.

The seal of organic stands for ecological agriculture.

Organic: The organic products are subject to stringent control. All farmers connected to that seal produce according to organic guidelines. They are only allowed to use seed from organically grown and no synthetic chemical fertilizers. They can only use 24 additives. All businesses that use the organic label are regularly checked by independent inspectors. Which should in return help to find black-sheep amongst the huge number of so called bio or green farmers these days.

The seal of natural land is in use worldwide, and promises to maintain the highest environmental standards.

Natural Land: The Association is organized internationally. Worldwide over 53 000 farmers have joined. Naturland farmers and processors work with the highest environmental standards that are stricter than the legal requirements of the European Eco-Regulation. Genetic engineering and synthetic chemical fertilizers are taboo. Only 21 additives are used. Organic farming on the natural land policies based on a holistic systems-oriented view and cover areas that are not in the European Regulation on Organic Farming regulated, such as social policies. Since 2010 there is a natural country fair certification, which also applies to domestic products. In addition fish and seafood from Natural Land aquaculture and wild fish from natural land certified sustainable fishery are found in the trade. There are quite a lot independent controls here as well to keep the high standard.

The Demeter label stands for agriculture, which involves the whole cycle of nature.

Demeter: The association promotes the biodynamic way by Rudolf Steiner. The oldest farmers’ association represents the philosophy of holistic organism. This means that the entire court-serviced in all areas after the Demeter principles in line with animals and nature. Natural products are used as fertilizer, soil and plants sustainably strong. Even with Demeter held intensive checks.

So next time you just grab something out of the fridge or you just put food in your basket in the supermarket take a second to check what is inside this so called food. It is for your own good.
