And my daughter has been studying about big agribusiness and GMO foods, pesticides, fertilizers, chemicals in the food before and after processing, preservatives, artificial colors and flavors. They are taking healthy nutritious foods and turning them into toxic poison.
I was reading earlier tonight about Fluoride and how bad it is for us.
There’s pluses and minuses to all of that stuff.
I don’t think I’d go as far as saying that any of it quite ranks as ‘toxic poison’- well flouride might if you swallowed an extreme amount of it- but it’s more that the food selected by agribusiness is less flavorful and maybe less nutritious- it’s selected primarily for it’s hardiness and disease resistance. It has to be able to ship and sit on store shelves for extended periods of time.
If you want flavor and nutrition your best bet is to grow your own produce from heritage seeds. Second best is to shop at farmer’s markets or similar places.
There’s a little magazine that I suspect you might enjoy:

Toxicity is determined by dosage. Minute amounts of fluoride do make for stronger, healthier teeth -- with absolutely no danger whatsoever.
Indeed, in some areas, natural fluoride is in the water supply -- in minute amounts. Those areas get the benefit of fluoridation -- stronger, healthier teeth -- without having to pay for either the Water Dept adding it or the toothpaste.
Similarly, arsenic -- a "toxic poison", but a natural element -- is present in most soils...to some degree. By the same token, it is usually present in our water supply...to some degree. Yet, it is present at levels that are nowhere near dangerous.
It's the dosage.
They are taking healthy nutritious foods and turning them into toxic poison.
Of course, they are. Every agribusiness is trying to kill off their customers. Isn't that just a smart business practice?
With all due respect, your daughter is getting her head pumped full of crap.
