FDA Unleashes Mass Irradiation of Spinach, Lettuce and Other Vegetables

NaturalNews) The FDA has announced that beginning today, spinach and lettuce

sold across the United States may now be secretly irradiated before it

reaches grocery store shelves. What's " secret " about it? The FDA previously

decided that irradiation warning stickers would not be required on any food

items

because it would be " too confusing to consumers. " (The word IRRADIATION

apparently has too many letters to be understood to food buyers.) Thus,

irradiated

foods will not be labeled as such, and consumers are going to be left in the

dark about all this (except for those who actually eat the irradiated _food_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/food.html) , in which case they will glow in the

dark).

 

The FDA, of course, insists that the levels of _irradiation_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/irradiation.html) used to kill e.coli will have no

effect

whatsoever on the nutritional value of the food. This astonishing statement

comes

from an agency that doesn't believe food has any nutritional value in the

first place, so lowering the value to zero by destroying all the

_phytonutrients_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/phytonutrients.html) does not, in the opinion of

_the FDA_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/the_FDA.html) , alter its nutritional

value at all. Thus, destroying all the anti-cancer nutrients in a head of

_broccoli_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/broccoli.html) merely brings that

broccoli

into " compliance " as a non-functional food, according to the FDA.

 

Radiation, of course, destroys delicate _phytochemicals_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/phytochemicals.html) in plants -- the very

phytochemicals

protecting consumers against _cancer_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/cancer.html) ,

heart

disease, high cholesterol, inflammation and other diseases. Microwaving

broccoli, for example, destroys up to 98% of its anti-cancer nutrients. (The

FDA

has not yet acknowledged this scientific fact, either.) In a similar way,

irradiating food destroys much of its nutritional content, including vitamins,

carotenoids, anthocyanins and other delicate protective nutrients that are

right now providing the last, desperate nutritional defense against the

American

diet of meat, milk, fried foods and processed junk.

 

Irradiating _fresh produce_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/fresh_produce.html)

will leave the U.S. population is a state of extreme deficiency in protective

plant-based nutrients.

 

 

Does the FDA plan to destroy the health of the U.S. population?

Many people suspect that's what the FDA really wants. A

nutritionally-deficient, disease-ridden population would mean a windfall of

profits for the FDA's

buddies in Big Pharma -- the folks who sell patented medications at monopoly

prices. With _the food supply_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/the_food_supply.html) destroyed by radiation,

ordinary people would have virtually no

remaining sources of protective phytonutrients!

 

In promoting this food radiation policy, the FDA has accomplished what all

the terrorists in the world could not: The mass irradiation of the U.S. _food

supply_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/food_supply.html) -- much like setting

off a dirty bomb over the nation's farms (but with less radiation). This

destruction of the nutritional value of the food supply is a far greater threat

to

the health of the U.S. population than any _terrorist_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/terrorist.html) event, including 9/11. And yet it

is being done by our

own people, TO our own people, by a lawless agency that answers to no one.

FDA officials are not voted into office by the People; they are appointed by

politicians. They answer to no one, they refuse to follow federal law, and

they operate as tyrants over a quarter of the U.S. economy.

 

And now they have taken it upon themselves to destroy the national food

supply.

 

We should be more than just alarmed -- we should be outraged! The FDA has

committed an act of war against the People. With this decision, the FDA has

firmly positioned itself as an enemy of the People, and a bringer of death and

disease to the nation. Why are our elected representatives in Washington

allowing this madness?

 

Think about this: If the FDA has its way:

 

• All your food will be irradiated, pasteurized or killed

• All your children will be vaccinated

• All your medicine will be based on pharmaceuticals

• All your _free speech_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/free_speech.html) about

health will be suppressed

• All informative labeling on food and supplements will be outlawed

• Growing and selling non-irradiated garden _vegetables_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/vegetables.html) will become a crime!

 

 

Today it's _spinach_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/spinach.html) and lettuce;

tomorrow it's all fresh produce

Don't think the FDA will stop with spinach and lettuce, either. They're

already talking about irradiating tomatoes, peppers and onions. Before long,

radiation could become mandatory for ALL fresh produce, and all the fresh

fruits

and vegetables that are supposed to contain health-protecting nutrients will

be transformed into sterile, inert plant mass with no health benefits at all.

(Brilliant scam, huh?)

 

This is by design. I believe the FDA wants the American public to be

sickened and diseased. Why else would they ban Free Speech about healing foods

like

cherries, broccoli and garlic? Why would they outlaw the selling of _herbs_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/herbs.html) and nutritional supplements that claim

to treat and prevent disease? The FDA wants you to be sick, enslaved and

medicated, and irradiating the food supply is the quickest way to accomplish

that.

 

He who controls the food controls the People.

 

He who destroys the food can profit from the People's sickness.

 

 

The FDA's crimes against humanity

In pushing this radiation agenda, the FDA is committing a crime against

humanity -- a nutritional atrocity that violates fundamental human rights. And

yet the FDA's top decision makers continue to operate with zero oversight and

zero accountability. They make decisions in a corporate-sponsored vacuum,

absent any input from reasonable, health-conscious consumers or scientists. And

because they have been granted tyrannical powers by Congress, the FDA operates

above the law.

 

It is not subject to any laws whatsoever; not even the U.S. Constitution

which is supposed to protect the People's right to " Life, Liberty and the

Pursuit of Happiness " (as stated in the Declaration of Independence).

 

The mass irradiation of the food supply is a violation of the " Life " part of

that phrase, wouldn't you agree? If we can no longer buy nourishing foods

with their nutrients intact, then we are all doomed to degenerative disease and

death... but not before paying out our life savings to doctors, drug

companies and hospitals. That's the evil genius of the food irradiation plot:

It

kills you slowly, at just the right pace to drain your bank account before you

expire from malnutrition.

 

I truly believe this irradiation of the food supply is the beginning of the

end of _America_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/America.html) . No nation can

survive the destruction of its food supply. The FDA is dooming America to a

slow, painful, medicated death. In a generation, this nation will be lost,

destroyed from within by short-sighted tyrants who violated nature and left the

People to rot.

 

 

What you can do right now to fight this latest transgression by the FDA

For starters, you can:

 

1) Grow your own food. A little gardening is good. Grow whatever you can,

even if it's just a few kitchen herbs.

 

2) Buy your food at farmer's markets, coops and CSAs. See

_http://www.localharvest.org/csa_ (http://www.localharvest.org/csa)

 

3) Ask your grocery store if they are buying irradiated spinach. If they

don't know, demand they find out!

 

4) Raise hell with your Senators and Congresspeople, demanding they pass new

laws protecting consumers from the FDA and its plot to destroy the

nutritional value of the food supply.

 

Also, listen to two _podcasts_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/podcasts.html)

I've posted on this topic. The first was recorded several months ago, where I

publicly predicted the FDA would do exactly what we're seeing right now.

Listen to that podcast here: _http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcas..._

(http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcasts.html#52)

 

The second _podcast_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/podcast.html) was just

posted today. I recorded it right before writing this article. It goes into

much

greater detail about the FDA's plot to destroy the health of the U.S.

population. You can listen to that here:

_http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcas..._

(http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcasts.html#61)

 

Finally, don't stand for this food supply madness! Raise your voice. Write

your local paper, call your representatives in Washington and tell them you

strongly oppose the irradiation of the food supply. Teach people about

phytonutrients. And stay tuned to NaturalNews as we continue to cover this

important

story.

 

The FDA has gone mad. Criminally mad. It is an agency that will literally

kill you if given the chance, and it is up to all of us to stop this madness

before we lose our health, our children and our very nation.
