The Food We Feed Our Bodies

The reading titled The Mystery of Fetal Life: Secrets of the Womb, discusses the various toxins that can harm unborn children. Multiple citations from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), can be found within the reading. Recently I watched a movie called Food Inc. This movie was released in November 2009, and is about the American food industry. Food Inc. describes how food we are eating in America is quickly becoming less and less like real food. Many of the leading people of FDA and USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) are also the leaders of the controlling companies. How can they monitor themselves? Wouldn't this lead to conflicts of interest? To anyone who thought the information about how to have a healthier baby and healthier self I encourage you to rent Food Inc., and learn about the food you are feeding your body.

  1. AND: If these various foods and products are so harmful to an expecting mother, I believe these same foods and products are just as harmful to you and me. Shouldn't the possible exposures be removed completely?
