This interesting quote captures the sad irony regarding much of the food industry and healthcare industry in our modern societies as both seem to put prioritise profits over people. These days, I am learning to be more careful and selective when buying food in supermarkets, such as the kinds of peanut butter and cooking oil, for example, after doing my own reading and research on natural health websites. It seems the food and health regulatory bodies are leaving the decisions mainly to the consumers and allow certain foods that are processed with refined sugar and hydrogenated oil to continue to be sold to the general public. I am learning that our food is our medicine, provided we choose foods that are mainly natural, preferably organic and comprise largely of fruits and vegetables (and occasionally some fish, for the non-vegetarian).
