Promoting Nutrition in Wonderland.

Finding the true promoters of a natural way of eating (i.e. avoiding processed foods) in the U.S has become increasingly difficult. The emphases is on true promoters, not those just trying to make a buck on the latest popular trend of eating naturally or locally. Because mass communication has been upgraded to include everyone it's superficiality has also been upgraded. Sincerity is blurred into a greedy mist of money and politics. You can learn more about the concept of (everyone and the internet) by checking out Clay Shirky's book “Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organization. The enticements of instant fame and money is an embracing seductress, turning even some of our principled and noble ones into money hounds. With basic knowledge of a PC, some charm and a bit of satire anyone can step out onto the world scene by way of the weird and wacky wonderland of the internet and take a financial bite out of the nutrition market. To my knowledge there is no internet God that monitors what some would call blatant highway robbery, and deception. Take a moment to search the USDA-FDA Organic site you might be surprised to learn what is considered organic, or what is considered local. I happen to believe false advertisement is more egregious when it's connected with health or misinformation that can kill us, even if it's a slow kill. What's most important is reader beware, some sites look legitimate and impressive. With a little legal representation a creative writer, some nutrition snake oil and abracadabra McGreedy PhD is born. Many believe the food and drug administration is watching over our well being, the more I read, the more I believe that's a unhealthy misconception, they can't do it alone, we must get involved. While it's true we are in need of healthy redirection and some counsel from the professionals, I would say before you jump down the rabbit hole of the internet information superhighway, look both ways for oncoming traffic. Dr. McGreedy may be driving and he has no regard for your health. NPeace
