Whats in our food?!


Question: Whats in our food!?
I was reading up on hot dogs, because I was curious about what was realy in them, and this lead me to other thoughts!. I read a comment from someone who said that in factories, the smallest things could end up in our foods (like an occasional insect or even a piece of rat hair) After all, bugs and rodents are, Im sure, in the facilities that produce are foods!.!.!. And someone else had said they suspect that these things may slide by from time to time, as it would become far to costly to throw everything away and start over again with fresh meats and foods that hopefully are bug (and other gross stuff) free!.

Whats in the food we eat!? All the slaughtered meats and everything that comes from a factory and lands on our grocery shelves!.!. is *anything* completely safe!? I suppose not, but we have to eat!.!.!.

So the question is, are these things realy in our foods!? Are they completely safe and free of things that arent supposed to be there!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Exactly what you said: "We gotta eat"!.

Who realy knows what goes on in the process of making our foods, Im sure the best is done to keep our foods safe, but realy, it isnt possible to achieve perfection and keep every little bug out!. There are sometimes rodents and roaches in restraunts that we enjoy too!.!.!. it happens!.

We need to eat, and instead of making ourselves crazy over it, I think sometimes its better not to know everything, if we knew the secrets to everything that has to do with the food industry, a lot of us would starve to death, and thats obviously not an option!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

most of the food we eat contains E!.coli bacteria
99% of it dies when the meat is cooked

what happens to the other 1%!?!?!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

factory farmed meats of cruely slaughtered animals have various bad points-from quality to safety!. Main-stream brand name foods like cheetos and pepsi have artifical colorings and flavorings that are unhealthy, and diet pepsi and other soda pops have an artifical sweetener that can cause brain tumors!.
eat organic, NOT "all-natural"!. High fructose corn syrup is natural, but it's still horrible for your body!. Organic food is free of poisonous pesticides and artifical additives that harm you, and millions of other people who eat at your local Jewel Osco!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

All sorts can be in our food, especially in fast food, ready meals!. Its best to cook fresh when you can, although this can be a bit of a chore, but is far more healthier!Www@FoodAQ@Com

most of the time, the food is from bactaria or our foods have a lot of chemicals that are really bad for our body and it's a lot harder for our bodies to break down the meat because of the chemicals that could be found in them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't know but it's gross!. What I do know that there are a lot of chemicals in foods and that just needs to stop!. People inject animals with growth hormones and slauter and then we eat it!. I've been wondering is that the reason America is so fat!. From the growth hormone and we are getting that as well by eating from the animal!. Theres lots of stuff to think about!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the food produced in factories should be safe as health inspectors should do regular check ups!. However they cant be checked on every single day so there is likely to be unwanted products in our food!. i suggest making your own food from raw ingredients is the only way to really make sure your food is safe and reliable to eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well if you didn't eat anything processed then that would be okayWww@FoodAQ@Com

Sadly, yes!. Occasionally rodents and insects do make their way into our food!. The regulations dont really help much either because there can be up to 2%(i think) of "miscellanious" materials in the food, aka bugs and rats!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is true that those things are in our food occasionally!. With food being so cheap and low quality (esp!. in the U!.S!.), along with genetically modified crops and chemically enhanced animals for "more meat worth" it is entirely possible that you may have no idea of what you're eating!. This is a strong motivation for people going the organic route!. Did you know that Britain won't even take crops from the U!.S!. because they are genetically modified and we don't know the long term effects on people!? Colonies in Africa that are starving chose not to take agricultural seed from the U!.S!. as well, because if they were to start a farming system with modified foods they know that Britain would never do business with them, so they carry on!. Sanitation is aweful!. Factories are not inspected nearly as well as they should be-as well as dining facilities!. You never really know-between pesticides, chemicals, rotten meat, fruit that has been on ice for a year or two before being sold!.!.!.not everything is safe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
