This might be the most important 18 minutes you spend watching a video this year.  To follow up on my countless fake food posts, this speech by Robyn O’Brien will give you actual data.  I share this video not to scare you or tell you that American food is poisoned (even though it is, but look away!  Look away!).  I share this video so you can understand the links between what is happening very recently to our food supply, and why you should avoid fake food.  After watching her speech (which is deftly and expertly given), I wrote the FDA immediately.  I’ve been meaning to write them for some time, assuming they missed me and my extraordinarily verbose 1 page patient summaries covering all manners of EKG abnormalities seen in patients taking psychiatric medicines (told you I had a cool job…listen for it…yep, nerds are laughing). I all but begged them to reconsider things such a food dyes and hormones and genetically modified foods that are banned in other countries.

Our nation is sick. Literally.  What do we have in common?  Really?  All of us?  We bathe in a shared food source every single day.  It doesn’t take a scientist to realize something is amiss.  I’m not asking you to write the FDA as well.  But I will suggest that if you stop buying it, they will stop selling it.  Food that won’t kill us will take its place.  Yummy, delicious, real food, and we can go back to overeating our steak and potatoes, visiting the cardiologist, and only have ourselves to blame. God I miss the 80’s.

Should you like to shoot the FDA a note, it’s not hard.  Just click here.  Maybe you think it will fall on deaf ears.  Maybe you think the FDA is just a building full of robots (that’s GOOGLE, in case you were wondering).  Maybe you think 1 email won’t change a damned thing.  But according to my latest stats readers, there were 100,000 of you last year alone.  Tell them Lori sent you.  They don’t like me anyway.
