FDA finally admits chicken meat contains cancer-causing arsenic (but keep eating it, yo!)

(NaturalNews) After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that's fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It's added to the chicken feed on purpose!

Even worse, the FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last sixty years, American consumers who eat conventional chicken have been swallowing arsenic, a known cancer-causing chemical. (http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/loc...)

Until this new study, both the poultry industry and the FDA denied that arsenic fed to chickens ended up in their meat. The fairytale excuse story we've all been fed for sixty years is that "the arsenic is excreted in the chicken feces." There's no scientific basis for making such a claim... it's just what the poultry industry wanted everybody to believe.

But now the evidence is so undeniable that the manufacturer of the chicken feed product known as Roxarsone has decided to pull the product off the shelves (http://www.grist.org/food-safety/20...). And what's the name of this manufacturer that has been putting arsenic in the chicken feed for all these years? Pfizer, of course -- the very same company that makes vaccines containing chemical adjuvants that are injected into children.

Technically, the company making the Roxarsone chicken feed is a subsidiary of Pfizer, called Alpharma LLC. Even though Alpharma now has agreed to pull this toxic feed chemical off the shelves in the United States, it says it won't necessarily remove it from feed products in other countries unless it is forced by regulators to do so. As reported by AP:

"Scott Brown of Pfizer Animal Health's Veterinary Medicine Research and Development division said the company also sells the ingredient in about a dozen other countries. He said Pfizer is reaching out to regulatory authorities in those countries and will decide whether to sell it on an individual basis." (http://www.usatoday.com/money/indus...)

Arsenic? Eat more!

But even as its arsenic-containing product is pulled off the shelves, the FDA continues its campaign of denial, claiming arsenic in chickens is at such a low level that it's still safe to eat. This is even as the FDA says arsenic is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer.

The National Chicken Council agrees with the FDA. In a statement issued in response to the news that Roxarsone would be pulled from feed store shelves, it stated, "Chicken is safe to eat" even while admitting arsenic was used in many flocks grown and sold as chicken meat in the United States.

What's astonishing about all this is that the FDA tells consumers it's safe to eat cancer-causing arsenic but it's dangerous to drink elderberry juice! The FDA recently conducted an armed raid in an elderberry juice manufacturer, accusing it of the "crime" of selling "unapproved drugs." (http://www.naturalnews.com/032631_e...) Which drugs would those be? The elderberry juice, explains the FDA. You see, the elderberry juice magically becomes a "drug" if you tell people how it can help support good health.

The FDA has also gone after dozens of other companies for selling natural herbal products or nutritional products that enhance and support health. Plus, it's waging a war on raw milk which it says is dangerous. So now in America, we have a food and drug regulatory agency that says it's okay to eat arsenic, but dangerous to drink elderberry juice or raw milk.

Eat more poison, in other words, but don't consume any healing foods. That's the FDA, killing off Americans one meal at a time while protecting the profits of the very companies that are poisoning us with their deadly ingredients.

Oh, by the way, here's another sweet little disturbing fact you probably didn't know about hamburgers and conventional beef: Chicken litter containing arsenic is fed to cows in factory beef operations. So the arsenic that's pooped out by the chickens gets consumed and concentrated in the tissues of cows, which is then ground into hamburger to be consumed by the clueless masses who don't even know they're eating second-hand chicken sh*t.

How to Save Your Family From Cancer by Growing Organic Food Anywhere Practically Free

Cancer rates are on the rise. Disease over all is on the rise. Why is this? I believe the causes are chemicals and stress. There are many ways to help with stress such as meditation, exercise, massage, hobbies, etc. Let's talk about chemicals. The US Government (FDA) allows 50,000 different chemicals to be in your food without being on the label, and 15,000 of them cause cancer. Do you think they are protecting you, or the corporations that pay to get them elected?

The first thing to do is to avoid processed food. Eat meat, fruits and vegetables, not fast food or boxed food. Do your best to buy organic meats. Meat can be full or hormones and preservatives (even chemical ladened food coloring). Buy organic, grass fed beef whenever you can. You want the cows (or buffalo) to roam pastures, eating what they were intended to. Grass fed beef is as high in Omega 3 EFAs as salmon. Grain fed, corporate farmed beef is high in Omega 6 EFAs and full of hormones. Chicken should be free range, organic. Corporate farms raise chickens in small cages. They spend their lives in their own feces. Do you want chicken marinated in feces? They also pump them with hormones to get the breast to grow. Corporate farmed chicken look deformed. Is this what you want to eat? Free range chickens are allowed to roam and fly (a little at least) the way nature intended. This applies to turkey too. Also avoid farm raised fish. They are also fed unnatural food and penned into small areas where disease can spread easily. Wild caught is always better.

Fruits and vegetables are sometimes genetically modified. They are usually caked in pesticides. Pesticides generally are poison. Washing your fruits and vegetables do help, but much of the chemicals soak in through the skin. Can't wash that off! The simple solution is to grow your own. Many people have their own gardens. That's a good start. You need to make sure your seeds are organic and don't use pesticides. Of course, this can only be accomplished in season. There are better ways. Build a greenhouse! I like geodesic dome greenhouses. They are strong and easy to build. Once you have a greenhouse, you can grow year round. At that point, you have to decide how you will grow your food. Hydroponics are good. I think aquaponics are a better choice. Aquaponics use water tanks, with water and fish in them. The plants are grown on top. The plants feed the fish, an the fish feed the plants. You get fruits, vegetables and fish to eat! Aquaponics also grows 10 times more food than conventional gardens in the same amount of time, or less!! Of course, you can't do this in an apartment.

So, what do you do in an apartment? The answer is window farms! There are a lot of free plans on the internet on how you make your own window farms. You can grow a plenty of food that way.

Many are talking about coming bad times where food may be very hard to come by. I don't know what will happen but, if you're growing your own, you'll be a lot better off!
