HIPPIES NO SLOUCHES

Perhaps hippies were right, they do know where it's at.
They also spawned some very fine environmentalists and have been touting the values of natural foods for years. I see in the news that Pepsico, owner of the Gatorade trademark have announced that they will be removing the ingredient in Gatorade that is brominated vegetable oil, which Mountain dew also contains. This substance is actually patented as a fire retardant and is banned in Japan and the European Union. This comes after the company was pressured by the Sports community. Pepsico has definitely made a step in the right direction there.
Now if only the rest of the food, snack makers, and drink makers would follow suit that easily and get rid of GMO's and particularly make the connection that Aspartame is not in any way beneficial to ones health and in fact detrimental to having good health. Chocolate laced with GMO soy bean oil has me and many others cutting back on chocolate and even avoiding it when it's known to have GMO in it.
Sugar is absolutely the lesser evil. Yes,white refined sugar is not good for you. When I say sugar I mean raw natural cane sugar and any products that need sweetening should look no further than that, honey or molasses. Anything natural.
Diet pop is the biggest joke on the planet. Loaded with Aspartame, this stuff can actually help you to gain weight and develop some serious illnesses. I shudder everytime I see someone drinking diet pop. Educated people usually have a good handle on eating and drinking well and healthy, this being the exception.
Keep in mind that cancer did not exist until man started introducing facory made foods full of chemicals.
Give me natural and make it affordable. Quit trying to shove toxic chemicals down our throats every time we turn around. If your government leaders really cared about your well being, there would be no such thing as Aspartame for human consumption. That goes for both the FDA and Health Canada.Long live the hippies and their ideals. Stamp out chemical additives known to be harmful. At the end of the day, it's all up to you.
