Reply #6: Well.............Banquett product really aren't very tasty! [View All]

I have been battling the big food corporations for about 15 years now! 80% of the food I used to eat is gone now! ( prepared from the supermarket.) My favorite Swiss Choclatier, since 1955 when I spent a summer in Germany, Tobler was bought by Kraft Foods.
Now I am forced to do more cooking. ( I work at home as an artist 6- 10 hours a day! 7 days ) I don't love it, I'm furious about it! I used to run through the market in 20 minutes drop $100. and be set for a week or 2........... More productivity for ME! More time to earn money, Now I read labels juggle, calculate, and spend 1 hour & $45.00! ............lose worktime!
About 1996 the FDA started fudging ingredients, & regulations, allowing stuff that shouldn't be in foods, high fructose corn syrup ( yes during the sainted Big Dog's administration! NAFTA) the big factory farms really started rolling along with a resultant drop in food quality. ANd the Tee Vee ads got louder and more blatant! I gave up Conagra altogether, Dinty Moore........Nabisco, Hellmans, Fritolay...............
Now I am growing as mich of my own food as I can.. freezing or canning.............HATE IT; BUT I'M HEALTHIER THAN MOST PEOPLE MY AGE!
Try buying chicken parts legs whatever...........shaking them in a bag with flour, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, paprika, seasoning.. mesquite or whatever and bag them, put them, in the freezer. Next time you need a quick meal, voila!
Bottom line. People formed societys, Commonwealth so that we wouldn't have to do it all! Let the Baker make your bread: more energy efficient than firing up every oven on the block! So much for the :Libertarian ideology! Our society is "BROKEN" until we can trust delegating these jobs to others, we need to do it for ourselves so that it is done correctly. Gives a lot of incentive for working to correct what's wrong with our society doesn' it?
