Excellent article!

Thank you Dr. Mercola for revelation of these shocking facts. People should be aware of the reality and learn how to make right choices in our modern marketplace.

Unfortunately healthful living is not for the majority, thanks to 4-7 generations of altruist/collectivist government-controlled schools & media have achieved the intended outcome.

Most would rather suffer & die than make any significant change (they prefer to stick their head in sand and hope for the best). But there are millions of folks who value their health enough to be open to this valuable information.

Thanks again for your input. Never doubt that a group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world…

Best regards,

To Your Success,

I watched the length of this video, and I'm horrified. I imagine it's the same in the U.S. Having read that poultry are grown in factories, I had imagined it would be the same as an old-fashioned farm environment, just indoors. Genetically modified foods scare me, but I'm not sure what to do first. I will be looking locally for butchers and organically raised products. Which government officials does one contact? Thank you for having this information here. I'm really surprised I have not seen this covered on public television - I'm writing to them as well.

Up to last year all the organic fruit and vegetables that were certified organic were in one spot in the super market.Now for the last year they are all mixed so you need to go to different bins to find the organic stuff.Now it takes longer to do your shopping.I normally don't go food shopping when I'm hungry but by the time you find all the food you buy you get very hungry.I think they are doing this on purpose.Before I would head straight for the organic side and got my shopping done in less than half the times it now takes me.

It was mentioned at the end of the video that there would be more programs. If this is a weekly show in Great Britain, can you get us more eposides? They mentioned one about ducks and dairy cows. Thanks for all this wonderful information.

I have had 'things' come out o my body like a fine white hair. The longest one was about a half inch long and came out the bottom of my foot. My foot was very sore and painful for about two weeks after. I showed it to the Dr. and he didn't treat me like I was nuts but he never made much comment either. Two others had previously appeared on the top elbow section of my arm. I thought they had been flying in the air and embedded themselves there somehow. From your article, I am inclined to believe it is the Morgellons disease. EEwe. Is there a cure or prevention? Is there anything I should do?

I'm surprised that Dr. Mercola made no mention of the deceptive pricing that is commonly practiced in supermarkets. You can confirm this easily enough by checking the per ounce pricing of canned or packaged products that are offered in a regular as well as a large (money saving?) size. Consumers will typically view the larger size product as being priced for economy and, without checking, they will select the larger size without taking the time and effort to glean the actual per ounce prices printed in very small print in the upper left hand of the label. Big mistake! It has been my experience that the larger, economy sized product will have a higher per ounce price than the regular size product about 80% of the time. I regard this as a shameless tactic which needs to be brought to the attention of the shoppers.

I had no idea how bad our food supply chain has been corrupted. Thank you Dr Mercola for the video education.

Who on earth writes/types these articles for Mercola anyway? Wizening up?? Oh brother. Here's what the dictionary says about the word "wizening" - www.merriam-webster.com/.../wizening

It has not one single thing to do with becoming more wise. Sheesh.

Mercola.com needs a proofing editor. For the right price, I'll take it!

Yes this may indeed be a rerun as some have said, but I for one think that we need a repeated kick in the pants, to help us stay on track. Once upon a time the starving Nations of Africa refused the GMO foods, but then things changed after a few dollars were spread around.

Terrible that anyone, or any nation would allow this "Frankstein Food" to be produced, yet alone marketed anywhere in the world.

I just finished sending an on-line message to the Obama task force on health care reform urging them to look at Dr Mercola's methods to consider in their attemps at reforming the currently corrupt health care system. If you'd like to weigh-in, here's the link:

This article and video is another wonderful piece of information from Dr. Mercola. If this were disseminated widely instead of those insane drug commercials on television, the quality of public health would soar and the staggering cost of "healthcare" and medicare would plummet. Dr Mercola you're a prince. Better yet, you're like a Cupernicus trying to prove to this medeival society that the earth is in fact not flat.

Eating chicken can be hazzardous to your health. Unless it's 100 percent organic.

Wow I can not imagine having to worry about soy as well as Wheat Gluten. I stay off Gluten cause it makes my joints swell and causes aches and pains. My symptoms are not nearly as bad as some people I know. Because now that I have stopped using it for a while. I do not get as bad if I accidently get a little. When I first went off it just a tiny bit would make me hurt for 3 days. Now a tiny bit does not hurt like it did, as long as I notice it and stop. Having to watch Soy and Gluten would make it really hard, cause it is in most veggie oil. I do not take soy any more, but I still get some in my food I guess.

Very alarming. i will take more care picking out the chickens "hock spots" in the future. What is even more alarming is the growth rate of the chickens. The only additives they seemed to mention is the anti-biotic. Theres GOT TO BE hormones that they are fed too, to double their growth rate. Its a shame that through greed, we are willing to poison the general population the way we are. I pray that the old adage of "You are what you eat" is not true.

Becoming a vegetarian dont seem as bad of an idea than it did earlier.But Monsanto and others may have THAT seem risky as well. This at least gives me enough incentive to build that green house i always wanted in my yard.
