FOOD MATTERS - An excellent documentary that tells us we are taking too many pills and not eating enough healthy food. That's one of the great things I love about living here in Thailand. We have access to cheap fresh farm products although unfortunately most of the Thais love spraying their crops with all sorts of pesticides. If "farmer" has time to watch this I would love to hear what he thinks about it. If you have torrent you can download the whole documentary for free by using this link http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4494327 ... rs.avi.avi or you can watch it on youtube in 7 x 10 minute sections;

There's a top chef here called Jamie Oliver this series he is attempting to change the eating Habits of school kids but the head of schools across America are not allowing him into the schools. One of his demo's was to show how much sugar a week goes into milk flavoured drinks what kids are given. Everyday in LA alone 47 Tons of Sugar goes into there school milk in the form of flavouring here it is not allowed plus our free school milk was stolen by Maggie Thatcher. Its little wonder America is the number 1 Clinically Obese country in the world. When you see what kids are allowed to eat from 5 up, is is why Jamie Oliver is not allowed to try and get the kids eating healthy. Incidentally did not the guy who invented the worlds highest calorific burger die from a heart attack recently.

I have watched the fist couple Jockey and pretty interesting stuff but one thing does strike me living in Thailand is that although my own diet has improved ten fold health wise, loads of fresh veg and fruit, I can't believe the crap my young nephews and nieces get fed pretty much every day. None of them will eat a vegetable full stop! So the are fed on a diet of garbage with no nutritional value that's full of additives and sugar know in the general Thai term "kanom". I am telling you I would not feed this stuff to a hated pet dog let alone a child and they wonder why they spend about half the school term (when it's not some holiday or other) off sick.
I have tried explaining that cutting out the kanom and letting them get hungry enough to willing scoff down a bowl of carrot and spinach soup is the answer but they think I am being cruel and promptly nip off to 7/11 to purchase more sugary goodness. :headbang:

Jockey,
nice statements,give me some more time,
some need to hear a sec.time for me.
Now you know,why I try to raise my own pigs,chicken,fish,ducks...
Grow my own vegs and herbs,for now not spray any chemicals,but have to find some solutions.
A lot of bugs and flies,but we will find the answer.
Pigs are not only for the sausages,
I need the fertilizer.... ++)(*
Cleaning my fishponds means,I fertilize my vegs and herbs!
150 kg shit of fish/week,after full running.
The problem is,to build up a organic rolling farm system,
you need time,time,time
we will see.
But thank's anyway,maybe we can exchange experiences some times.

People are responsible for what they cram down their throats.
They are also responsible for what they feed their children.
Shipping a kiwifruit 15,000 miles from Auckland to Helsinki requires 7x the energy the fruit will ultimately provide the consumer. That is madness.

I doubt the children were force fed.
Responsible parents pack their children a nutritious lunch.

This doesn't surprise me in the least Vlad. The authorities in America DO NOT want to feed the children a healthy diet or educate the kids regarding health food. Based on all the knowledge I've accumulated over the last several years, the FDA (food & drug administration), are a bunch of crooks working for the government to keep the population zombiefied on a diet of toxic garbage. Rumsfeld allowed the poison aspartame into the food chain, despite it previously had been banned because it affects the brain but people drinking diet coke think its healthy when its in fact very strong poison. In America and across europe to a lesser extent. there is a war against health foods. Herbal remedies are a no no and the FDA are attacking independent farmers. (Nobi's farm would be closed down under the present fascist situation in America).
Consider also their campaigns and insistence for adding the toxic chemical fluoride in the drinking water, spraying the cities skies with aluminum bromide (chemtrails), campaigning for more & more toxic mercury laden vaccines into babies, allowing the water supplies to be contaminated with pharmaceutical waste and you have a toxic brew of mind numbing poison forced into a zombiefied nation while the criminal bankers loot all the wealth and create a militarized police state and perpetual wars based on false flag operations and fear.
The criminal US government are worried healthy diets lead to clear thinking. They worry healthy minds might wake up and realise the Republicans and Democrats serve the same masters and that is certainly not the American people.
Funny how the Japan nuclear disaster doesn't even make the news now, yet the Japs have now admitted there was a nuclear meltdown just hours after the tsunami and the fall out is now accepted as thousands of times worse than Chernobyl. What is the US response to this? They just keep raising the level of acceptable tolerance of nuclear fall out and keep it out of their lap dog mainstream news. We are living in strange times indeed!

Better tighten up that tin-foil hat, jock, I think a few screws are loose.
You do a poor job of parroting a mishmash of nonsensical conspiracy twaddle.
fall out is now accepted as thousands of times worse than Chernobyl. What is the US response to this?
What is your response to it? Oh that's right, you second-rate minions were absorbed with watching baldy get married.
If "the US" says anything, you'll criticize. Predictably petty.
