Exposing the Fraud of Grocery Store Organic Eggs

In South America marry gold flowers or petals by the ton once was and I think still are added to commercial chicken feed to create dark yellows and an enhanced flavor.

Is this healthier?  I doubt it.  

They do here in the US, too... They're famous for their "golden" skinned broilers and their "rich" orange yolks, all due to marigolds...

Last it seems to me that an Animal rights organization may well be playing you good folks for fools. I guarantee that a lot of the so called "humane" organizations out there would yank a hens eyes balls out by the roots with a rusty fish hook if they though that it would harm animal agriculture or bring in another dollar in donations.

I believe that is true. Recently there was an article about diabetes in a poultry rights magazine. The article said that we've all been lied to, and that a high carbohydrate, low protein and low fat diet can cure diabetes. Of course the article left out any mention of the diseases that occur in developing countries from eating only carbohydrates, such as marasmus and kwashiorkor, and the article listed food to eat large amounts of that have contributed to those diseases!

Oi the amount of sugar we use here us absurd! Alcohol, bread, pop, cereal... Oh my, we can easily top a cup of sugar by noon if we aren't careful!


I found the source of the chickens in tubes!!! It was KFC, when they changed it to KFC from Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1991... Conspiracy theories abounded... Here's the original... Followed by Snopes, debunking it

Anybody with a but a passing familiarity with biology would have to question this: diabetes is basicly a disease process based on instability of blood sugar levels ........ carbs, and the sugars formed from them have the shortest path from plate (or, more likely paper cup or bag!) to cellular level ...... too much in a short time makes for wild swings in blood sugar ..... protien and fat? Not so much.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people today are looking to youtube, FB, and Twitter for what should be a biology lesson ........ SMH.

Wow, that's amazing.

I have a 25 lb. bag of sugar but it isn't for the family, it's for feeding the bees. Haven't had a pop (soda) in about 15 years.
On a rare occasion we may use honey or agave nectar for a sweetener. We don't do desert. We have cereal a couple times a week but it is a home made blend of grains (oats, wheat, rye) mixed with plain yogurt, berries, nuts and maybe a drop of honey. The berries are really all the sweetener necessary.

Oh, lol, WE don't eat refined sugar either NO soda, NO Capn Crunch, definitely no alcohol, and I bake my own bread with honey


The US is what I was referring to... The USDA allows probably 50% MORE sugar added to cereals, breads, CHEESE(?)... We have an epidemic ofcfat proportions here and an epidemic of diabetes to match. It's disgusting how uneducated most of the public is...

I can use my 22 year old stepdaughter as an example, literally today, she was concerned about only eating Deep Dish pizza but trying to lose weight (she works,at a pizza place lol, give her a break)... So I had to give a grown woman a "biology" class on how she needed to put down the soda and pick up an apple already, not try to lose weight by just eating a slice of pizza a day...oi, kids..

Oh, sorry, I stand corrected.
I was thinking, "and you don't have diabetes yet".

There can be a learning curve to eating well. We buy advertised products and what makes money is what is advertised. You rarely see an advertisement for a head of cabbage or blackberries.
Growing up with good eating habits helps but while my kids got nutritious food they go through a 10+ year phase eating junk.

 

[shortgrass]

Lol I know right?

I have good lessons in my dad, who passed away at 67; I watched him drink soda and coffee with 4 sugars, and candy candy candy, and I also watched him get diabetes; my best friend is diabetic. AND she will drink her soda, complain about having to stick herself with a needle, and NOT eat an apple, but reach for another soda. Makes me want to slam my head into the wall lol...

Probably why I'm so anti sugar

PS, and its very true that we probably don't think about what we are eating unless we've been taught as kids to eat well, and even then, my early 20s saw a LOT of dinners via KFC or McDs lol... Until I started having stomach problems and traced it to everything nasty I ate ; most won't stop eating crap until they HAVE to because its making them(or their children) sick.

My mother taught me good eating habits back in the '50s. As an example, she encouraged me to eat grapefruit without sugar.
I always tried to eat well but what got me on the right track were 2 books. 'Sugar Blues' by William Dufty and 'Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit' by Adelle Davis. I read those back in the '70s.
Davis had several other nutrition books of which I've read 3. 'Let's Get Well', 'Let's Cook it Right' and 'Let's Have Healthy Children'. Those were written in the '40 and '0s. Well before their time but good reads.

Ever use European dessert recipes? So much less sugar, and you can actually taste the ingredients. Italian dessert recipes are my favorite.
