If the public knew how much we are lied to by big pharma, the food industry, our governemtn, we would all run and hide in a hole. We MUST take personal responsibility for what we read, eat and drink. It would be great if we all lived on the farm and grew our own produce, had chickens for our eggs and raised grass fed beef. Short of that, consumer beware! Stop buying the junk and it will dissappear….We all know what to do – just do it. BPA is more than likely less than safe at the least and a huge health risk at the worst. Unless you are the scientist in the lab, you only know what you are told and the people telling the tales have a big agenda and it ain’t about protecting ou, my friend.

BPA is already having disastrous effects on people & wildlife. However, I still buy bottled water to avoid fluoridated tapwater.

This does not suprise me at all. How many coverups can one nation handle? I wish the american people would wake up and realize that it’s all about profits… bottom line. Corporations care little about your health. Whatever is cheaper for them to do, they are gonna do. They will pay “experts” to dispute claims when they know things are unsafe for us… its happened time and time again. Other nations have outlawed certain things because they know it isn’t good but we still allow them. Why is that? Wake up folks and smell the coffee.

I love this topic Jason. I think Leigh Peele covered it best in a resent post she did on her new blog.

I think that it is the right idea to try and change standard instead of envoke fear.

If we cooked our own food and ate fresh vegetables and fruit and filtered our water at home, we’d all be a lot better off. Our society has become lazy and impatient. Most kids today don’t even know how to cook “real” food. We need to make sure our kids know how to do all of these things or prepackaged meals will be the way of the future as well as all the chemicals to preserve them.

99% of packaged food especially processed foods purchased in groceries/supermarkets are done with chemicals. And advertisements lure people to buy such kind of foods. Health agencies have contrasting statements and some even endorsed them. Public must be more conscious which food has less or no chemicals at all. Each much promote fresh organically grown plants and must not start raising them in our backyards. Continue to be informed and share information and knowledge with others. Our problem is how to escape these all chemically-done foods? If we can stop buying them, start now! Spread the truth of the danger we got from them. At home, we buy our purifier and distiller, no plastic bottled water and no to canned goods unless necessary, no to fast food, etc… It was a problem at first but now my family has adjusted already.. START NOW!

I am opposed to extra chemicals added to our food. I try to eat whole foods as much as possible, however, sometimes I have to eat packaged or fast foods as I am not always home to cook. I drink skim milk and water only. I used to drink diet sodas, but I cut them out. I do n ot like coffee or tea-so water it is. I live in an area where the tap water is not good or real safe. I use a filter. Here is my biggest problem-I live in Arizona where we have to have a drink in our hands all of our waking hours. I use bottled water when I am out and about-which is often as I am self-employed. The individual water bottles are now no good and what about gallon bottles? I keep a cooler in my car with ice, but I am not sure how to get around this issue. Any suggestions?

Hi, to my knowledge, there must be other ways of sealing containers? I’m also
all for the whole foods. I do not like processed food.

It is not about trying to sway people with what I believe are the fact or not the facts. It is about gathering information and opinions just as the government is doing for $500K. If they are going to make their decision based off of opinion then why can’t we? Obviously the facts are mixed and no one really knows the true answer or else their wouldn’t be such a debate right now. This is a way for others to present what they know as Kent did here “I investigated the BPA thing a couple of months ago. After reading the original research, I’m not worried about BPA. They boiled the baby bottles for 2 hours, let them sit for four days, and then found 2 ppb of BPA (the minimum detectable amount). That’s a bit extreme”.

Why ask people for their opinion without presenting the facts – what is the point of a few anecdotal stories – this post has done nothing to add to the debate. Surely you could have tried to prevent some evidence one way or another? Why just scare people if it isn’t warranted – like with silicon breast implants?
