Ron Paul Popularity is Growing

Ron Paul popularity is growing and his followers are passionate. This news belongs on a health and wellness blog. What he is running on is the ways America is being shaped. We are all beginning to realize the way business grows in this country it is build on many things and one of them may be greed. What he delivers is a message that health minded people understand.

The nutritional benefit of raw dairy is not an option in this country. Having a choice is a fundamental freedom. Ron Paul is someone who is resonating with a large group of independent thinkers. I am tired of compliance when the supply chain makes the rules that fit their agenda. We don’t really have quality assurance, pasteurized and homogenized dairy isn’t a quality product. Milk, which possesses growth hormones and antibiotics, may meet specifications, but will not meet human needs.  

His message of smaller government resonates. I am not sure he has all the solutions, but he has the right views, at least on letting us decide what we want to use. Change matters now more than ever. People take this issue seriously. The line between freedom and an authoritarian country is beginning to blur. The rationalization that our food supply is now safe is for the American people’s protection is wearing thin.

The trend to flood the market with genetically modified, chemically altered, pasteurized, homogenized, and pre-packaged is proving to be detrimental to both our freedom and health. We are kidding ourselves if we believe this is all being done on behalf of the consumer. Giving nature a helping hand isn’t the same as taking it hostage.

What we should hope is no matter what the outcome, the message doesn’t get lost.America’s foot print is too big in the world of nature.

We need to reign in the FDA and EPA so we become a country, which is better for the consumer, and the world. The claims and promises of these agencies aren’t working, in reality they have helped saturate the environment with products that have undermined the health of the American population. All, the so-called innovation has been strategies to increase sales and dominate the market.

Ron Paul brings puts the American public back into the equation.

 

 

Nutritional Data Deceptive

Nutritional data is deceptive, because the food market depends on the packaging to sell their products. The sales pitch has to be on the carton. The consumer friendly pitch has to be on the label. When competing for shelve space labeling is more important than contents.

Pre-packaged Foods

Pre-packaged food has raised the bar, now their packaging will deliver health messages. Retailers will be able to pack their shelves with ready to go meals, with brands, which will promote their product as low calorie, low sodium, lactose free, vegan low sugar, no artificial flavors and high fiber.

Nutrition

The key nutritional benefits on package fronts are going to capture a loyal following. This strategy will be geared to the health conscious consumer. It will also fool many people into incorporating more packaged products into their diet. It will make eating healthy appear very simple. These will be wallet friendly and quick to make and serve, think microwave and easy to pour.

When shoppers look for products from boxed cereals with heart healthy symbols, frozen meals or snacks with the number of calories on the label or the vitamins per serving, they are being misled. Vitamin A or C means nothing since these are gong to be in products which are fortified with vitamins and minerals that come out of a lab.

Labels

As these brands capture the imagination and continue to expand, the line between real food and faux food are going to blur. All the rationalization in the world can’t position these products as food. Not only do they not mimic a whole food diet, they are emerging as a new and dangerous eating pattern for Americans. 

The deceptive wordings on these items are attracting devoted fans. Confectionery items are transforming sugary treats to a fiber source. Sodas sport photos of passion fruit, mandarin and citrus fruit to impart the image of natural goodness.

Marketing

Marketing a wide variety of packaged food to compete with produce, fiber, and protein is designed to increase brand value and strengthen market position. The aim is higher profit margins, and the only way to do that is to offer significantly less nutritional value. It is highly unlikely that the ingredients can be improved when price is the object. The facelift that is transforming the food industry is in the carton or carrier of their product.

Creating beverages, freezer pops, and meals with significant market power means to package these to imply a host of health benefits. Fresh food it isn’t and the shelf life doesn’t mean that the food is anywhere near fresh even with a good expiration date.  Because the contents is aseptically packed doesn’t mean its safe. For example, cans are lined with cancer causing material. There is a reason that things like genetically modified ingredients and high fructose corn syrup is used and that is price.  The health and wellness initiatives over the past years have gone into advertising and packaging not quality.

Health

Lite and healthy food may seem to be evident by the logo, carton, and label. The visible sign of health may be on the carton, and that may be more than a simple deception. Manufactures know how to hide the true ingredients in very deceptive ways. .Mum’s the word as far as the way food is manufactured. In fact the product isn’t even close enough to the natural source to be a ringer for the real thing.

More choices in pre-packaged breakfasts, snacks and dinners means that corn chips, tortilla chips, extruded puffs of crunchy cereals will begin to fit the customers’ requirements for sustenance. For the consumer it is lower costs, for the manufacturer it is bigger margins. Nutritional data deceptive practices have a real cost, which the consumer is paying for.
