Sure, aspirin is made from something from which they have extracted something and processed it and refined it - and that means it is good for you? Why, because big pharma told you so? lol sucker...

And what, chemical preservatives are made from what? Moon rocks from venus?

You may say that chemicals in food should not be in foods...and I would challenge you to prove that. Seems to me that American life-span in increasing rapidly, despite all these terribly dangerous chemicals in our foods....or perhaps *because* of all these terrible dangerous chemicals in our food that give us a stable food supply...

Bottom line is, the uneducated sheep among us have this tendency to make blanket statements: "Chemicals in food are bad" while they gladly put chemicals in their body in all sorts of other situations, paticularly when it specifically concerns their health.

So let's see, those darn evil corporations making our food and putting chemicals in them...they secretly know that their chemicals are killing us, and they want us to die early because they want fewer customers, right?

Corporations are evil...they are only out to make a dollar by poisoning us, says the politically correct sheep, who doesn't realize that he's just parroting the propoganda of the anti-capitalists....

....and then he gets sick, and suddenly he turns to the very same big capitalist corporations and begs them for chemicals to save his life...

It's just a little absurd.

NO--- I am not saying that *everything* in our food is always good for us....but I am suggesting that far less is dangerous than what the hysterical anti-capitalist / anti-big-food crowd would have you believe, and it is your lack of education that makes your scared.
