Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison," doctor says

[HiPointDem]

274. i agree that cultural/societal factors are in play, and that people are concerned about additives

etc.

what bugs me is that anxiety over additives & changes to the food supply mostly leads to private, consumerist solutions -- "i'm following such & such a diet" -- rather than big-picture common-cause solutions. and meanwhile, additives, gmos, etc. continue to grow.

i often post about the activities of bill gates -- one of the biggest sponsors of gmo R&D all over the world, responsible for converting the agricultural base of multiple countries to gmo.

i get a handful of responses, half of them telling me what a wonderful man bill gates is.

meanwhile, 200 posts about a con artist telling people gliadin is a new harmful protein dreamed up by scientists in the 70s.

i also think that people are way overconcerned about diet in a sense, and the religiosity surrounding it (& i speak as one who used to have the same attitudes) is sort of a cultural depository for general anxiety.
