Arsnic used in chicken feed

Hi everyone:

Take a look at this article.

It is amazing to discover the dangerous stuff that is added to our foodstuffs that we have absolutely no idea about. And this chicken feed is just coming to light. Wonder how many other things that are out there on the food chain that are waiting for some whistleblower.............and how much this crap might contribute to the mysteriously universal rise in cancer?

On a brighter note - is it possible that chocolate might become an officially NECESSARY food group?

Cheers!

that is TERRIBLE!!! I have switched to as much organic food as possible in the last few years especially since my diagnosis...and this just confirms that our food supply is in serious trouble...no wonder cancers are on the rise...

Unhappy

And the FDA/Center for Disease Control also approved AGENT ORANGE for use as herbicide in Viet Nam!

Who can trust those civil servants who often do not consider people highly enough over big business?

No wonder chicken in France is SO delicious. But a careful reading of this article gives clues how we can avoid the "arsenic chicken." Question then becomes "What else possibly harmful are we unknowingly ingesting??"

The Cocoa/Epicatichin info in the second link is of great interest to me and helps to confirm my organic dark (90%) chocolate munching. I wonder if it is actually doing my heart and vascular system some good against the cardiotoxic and vein damaging chemos I have taken???
Any ideas?
