Good lord, the latest in gross and alarming chicken news

It's all weird, wild stuff.  Some of it, we've heard before, but of course in labeling news, I didn't know that we're allowing chicken from China to go without origin labels.

Whole grains may not be what you think

Even I, a person obsessed with understanding the corrupt BS of American food labeling, did not know this about "whole grains."  As it turns out, it can be a mix of processed crap in the right proportions that TRUE whole grains would be found in if they were intact.  Always, be careful out there.

HCFS - if it isn't so bad, why are you trying to change the name?

More Dangers of MSG - Weight Gain

I've been leery of MSG since The Mind and Metabolism, a psychology class at Santa Monica College, where I first learned how it acts in the nervous system. People often say that once they eat whole foods for a time, edible products make them feel sick, even the ones they used to eat every day. Now that I actively avoid it, I can detect the jitters if I ingest some.

Thanks again to our government for protecting us. Food labeling hides MSG, but you can find some other names for it here.

Now there is new information about MSG that links it to weight gain.
