Reading versus Trusting Food Labels

As a food producer we are interested in labeling food to help people make healthy choices.  Here are some guidelines to choosing healthy foods based on the label.  Plus, more importantly, here are a few cautions regarding putting too much trust in labels.

Reading a Food Label for Health: Questions to Ask

1. Are the ingredients real foods? Do you know how each one is produced?
2. How many grams of carbohydrates? Remember too many carbs cause insulin resistance, the precursor to cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Metabolic doctors recommend eating carbs at less than 100 g per day, or less than 30 for ketogenesis (with fat burning).
3. How many grams of protein? Aim for 50 % protein / 50% fat according to Dr. Bikman.
4. How many grams of fat? To balance with protein.
5. Any GMOs, nitrates? Avoid due to cancer causing impacts.
6. Did the animals eat wheat, soy or corn? Cause inflammation.
7. Were the animals subjected to vaccines, mRNA pharmaceuticals, dewormers, antibiotics, growth hormones? Those are hormone interrupters to say the least.

Trusting a Food Label

1. Trusting a label is trusting the label authority's worldview.  
2. 1. USDA, FDA - Marxism worldview.  Resulted in the US becoming a sick nation.  Will approve many non-healthy practices, like cancer causing nitrates in meats.
   2. USDA Organic - Marxism worldview. Conflicts of interest in "independent" organic certification. Food is not as organic as we might think, especially when inspected on the boat from China.
   3. FDA - Marxism worldview. Made US sick nation using food pyramid voted on by carbohydrate producing companies. Fat Fiction Documentary.
   4. ND Department of Agriculture - Marxism worldview. Red Harvest by Dyson show history of communism in ND and US Agriculture from 1919 through the 1950s.  The New Agrarian Mind by Carlson shows the anti-Christian drive in American agriculture beginning with 4H and university extension services in 1904 to remove the Christian influence from the countryside.
   5. The rise of secular humanism, Marxism, and post modernism in the culture, as taught in schools and universities, has resulted in a majority of people believing in evolution and that the world is overpopulated.  Therefore, reducing the population becomes a logical "common good" and part of "government control of the means of production."  Do we want people labeling our food who think we should be eliminated? No!
3. Thinking like Great Grandma
4. 1. Over the past 100 years, our food has become much more processed and dangerously loaded with chemicals.
   2. To quickly see through the complications to select healthy food means looking at food the way our great grandparents did.
   3. 1. They knew where their food came from and how it was produced.
      2. They didn't spend much time reading and trusting in Marxist labeling.
      3. They either grew their food or knew someone that did, and selected the grower based on the grower's practices - regarding the food, the animals, and the land.
   4. The challenge today is to walk through our big grocery stores with blinders on. Blinders to the high carb, chemically laden, un-real food.
   5. The large grocery store then effectively shrinks down to one aisle of healthy food, that is if you trust the label.
   6. If you don't trust the label, then it is time to start your own garden, or farm, or spend some time working on the farm of your choice to understand the food details.
5. If health is the goal of food selection, then we might want to follow the advice of Dr Jamnades, Cardiologist, when he says, "Don't by any foods with a bar code."
