show on our foods we eat



Recommended Posts

My husband and I are watching a show on our foods we eat called food, inc.. All food in the grocery store and fast food is produced and controlled by 5 company's. The fda used to conduct over 50,000 inspections to regulate the safety of our food now it's maybe 4,000. Feeding the cows corn causes the ecoli that have caused outbreaks and death to the American consumers. The cows are fed the corn and it shows them knee deep in feces and then taken to the plant where they are processed and how dangerous and obvious that the feces become ground into our meats. Gross. Chickens used to grow in about 90 days to be ready for market now with injections and feed changes to corn they're ready in 35 days. They take two steps and collapse. Their bones and internal organs cannot keep up with the rate of growth and cannot support the weight of their body. So there they are crammed into a coup completely darkened from chick to 5 lb chickens in a months time and falling down in feces and we eat that. I don't know about you but eating fast food doesn't sound appetizing to me anymore. Organic and natural is sounding great. This is unbelievable. This documentary is enlightening. I also went to see jillian Michaels on tour and she said the same thing. It might be more expensive but think about it. If your health goes to **** and you get things like diabetes you now spend 70.00 or more a month on meds that Could've been spent on the difference between organic and non organic foods. I'm done. The government does not work to protect us. I do not trust the food on our shelves. Nasty gross

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
