that's scary
i don't know those stores you've mentioned. here in ny i use wholefoods and fresh direct . .
but i don't think anyone is going to take on the FDA anytime soon. they are too powerful
here in states it's a system of 'lobbyists' etc . . .that means anyone can donate money etc to a politician's candidacy and 'own' them
---------------------
in all fairness, the other thing going on with u.s. healthcare is with all these new drugs - people live to 80-85 years old.
(thirty years ago people only lived to 70-75 years old)
and most people use the bulk of their medical insurance in their later years so . . . . with the increased life expectancy we're up to our elbows in old people and someone has to pay for it (..and mostly they are not living long through healthy living but through alot of medications)
. . .but this issue touches nearly every part of our u.s. economy - did you know one of the main reason people declare bankruptcy/go into foreclosure etc is medical bills
well.....im no expert so i guess i'm done here
