[VICAR OF DIBLEY]

Hello,

I found this topic and the replies quite interesting.
Initially I thought I would respond more factually than I am, instead I am responding from my gut. Seemed like the responses were from individuals who spoke about them selves and not the next generation. That is where we differ.

I have children, g'children and great g'children. My concern is what type of food are they eating now and will be eating. How is the food they are eating now effecting them now and in the future.

Autism is on the rise, and their are studies showing it is related to the food they are eating, lactose intolerance is also on the rise due to the additives given to the cows to produce more milk, and the list goes on.

Check out baby formula i.e. Similac and look at the ingredient list. Our d-in-law may not be able to breast feed for a variety of reasons, our sons went and checked out baby formulas. You don't need to make a special trip to do this, do it the next time you go to the supermarket.

I am not worried just for my family, but for all children. Who would wish another parents child to be ill?

I could go on and on. I am worried what we are doing not only to the food we are consuming, but for the environment we have created.

I am old, and what I choose to eat I know what the possible effects will be. Children do not have that control over what they are given to eat, now the effect the food may have on them.
