It is bad that countries that have chosen to go the democratic route often become the victim of the powerful and elite democratic nations. They have poisonous chemical plants built on their soil, they have massive garbage scows sent to their shores by industrialized nations, they even have their traditional food replaced with altered non traditional foods. Unfortunately, the industrialized nations have practiced these methods to perfection on their own people. Take sugar, for instance. We in the US have been inured to accept sugar as an additive in almost everything we eat. Our breakfast cereal, topped off with sugar. Our pre packaged pasta sauces, sugar added. And not just natural sugar, white, highly refined sugar. And since so much sugar is not good for us, and it actually interferes with the asorption of Vit C, we have several other choices devised by our chemical companies who view us as their sacred cash cows. We now have sucralose, whose action alters the bodys immune systems in ways no one knows yet, to replace the 20 year old Monsanto concoction aspartame. Thank goodness we now have a replacement as our epidemic of childhood diabetes and the weight gain our children endure has been linked to this witches potion. Heated it produces methanol poisoning. Thank goodness the service men serving in Iraq now have a choice of the yet unknown poisoning from sucralose and the known poisoning from aspartame! Our government has failed to protect us from our own profiteers, and how sad their power is so far ranging that other governments can be bent to their will also.
