Added Nutrients

We watched Food Investigators on SBS the other night.

A few worrying trends, in the compulsory fortification of our foods, especially bread, were flagged.

Specifically, the government legislating to, add folic acid & iodine to supermarket shelf bread.

It is very frustrating to see the typical reactionary response. I think it is very irresponsible of the government to 'cover' for the people rather than make people take responsibility for their own health.

The government should start with industry growers & work on enabling farming that doesn't strip the soil, Industry that doesn't poison the air & the water, Building that doesn't destroy entire ecosystems. Then work with the processing & transportation people to make sure food isn't stored & sprayed until there are no nutrients left.

Then they should educate people about whole foods & if they were really brave legislate to restrict the over processing of food.

Instead they recommend pumping empty food full again at the other end.

It makes no sense!
