The Everlasting Debate On Junk Foods

The current global junk food model is not only unable to feed the entire population, but slowly poisons those who eat. Does the current junk food situation go against the preservation of life?

Certain ecological conditions must be respected to avoid imbalances in crops or herds. Environmental imbalances created by junk food disrupt the self-regulatory mechanisms of all living beings and require the continuous monitoring of our health, before it gets too late. Here is an article that sums up why, in the West and throughout the world, debate and concern has reached the current problems of food contamination.

I. Amiano, vice president of the Spanish Society of Organic Agriculture (SEAE), ponders on these issues and thinks about the neoliberal attack on the sovereignty of the people and the environment with pesticides and artificial hormones.

At the same time, he says organic farming is the basic solution and is more effective against all these problems. The data prepared by the editorial staff of The Ecologist, citing experts on each specific topic relating to organic foods, support this information.

Industrialists routinely employ several thousands of chemical molecules in food production from agriculture, livestock and food industry, called biocides. As its name suggests, it is basically there to kill or stop the biological activity of animals that harm the crops.

The evaluation system of these molecules in chemical synthesis offers no guarantees of safety, but on the contrary, every single day, there is a growing correlation between the use of these substances and various degenerative diseases, as well as an endless list of other harmful effects on virtually all forms of life on planet earth: Desertification, erosion, pollution, and the disappearance of thousands of animal and plant species are also occurring at an alarming rate.

For decades, people have been developing styles of alternative agriculture and animal husbandry regulated and protected officially by the European Union (Regulation 2092/91 of June 24, 1991) elaborating on the benefits of organic farming, organic biodiversity, ensuring food security and sovereignty and sorting out foods capable of competing economically and with productivity.

Officials are addressing the direct and indirect impacts and the global problems of chemical-intensive agriculture and its latter expression based on engineering and genetics.

About DDT

The most significant example was that of DDT, Highly recognized in 1948 and banned today in the world for its cumulative nature of toxic materials in humans and whose presence has been and continue to flow throughout the food chain worldwide, even in milk.

Concern about the availability of sufficient food has been a constant, an insistent argument to justify the use increasingly aggressive technologies to make the food produced and / or extracted. There is also growing concern seeking to discredit alternative movements offered another model of agricultural production, arguing that such models are incapable of feeding humanity.

On the other hand, is well known that healthy agriculture is heading steadfast in response to the pressures much developed societies, and even more because of food scandals, less aggressive towards industrialized methods.
