(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, in which case
they will glow in the dark).

The FDA, of course, insists that the levels of irradiation 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 does not, in the
opinion of the FDA, alter its nutritional value at all. Thus, destroying
all the anti-cancer nutrients in a head of broccoli merely brings that
broccoli into "compliance" as a non-functional food, according to the
FDA.

Radiation, of course, destroys delicate phytochemicals in plants -- the
very phytochemicals protecting consumers against cancer, 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 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 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 -- 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 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 about health will be suppressed
• All informative labeling on food and supplements will be
outlawed
• Growing and selling non-irradiated garden vegetables will become
a crime!

Today it's spinach 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 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. 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

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 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.

The second podcast 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...

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.

Here lies a list of local, organic, self-sustaining farms of the Ozarks. http://snowwhitesapple.com

We are trying to form an awareness of what's in most of the food that's not organic. We are also forming a team of people that can spread this awareness, and a carpool to local farms in the Ozarks to support these farms bi-monthly.

Please email info@snowwhitesapple.com with any questions and to help promote this awareness to humanity.
