This whole thing has perked me up no end.
I think it must be because as I've read through the list I've realised I don't buy any of it (with the exception of one jar of Vegemite per month - to boost vegan daughter's Vit B levels!) - nor do I buy Danish bacon!
I know they (supposedly) add all these things to supplement the generally deficient Western diet but, as someone else has said, if they didn't take them out in the the first place they wouldn't have a problem. I'm with Odsox, although I think it's probably the pharmaceutical/food lobbies that push for it rather than the Government - they just cave to the pressure.
I've just thought of something. Do the pharmaceutical companies obtain the "waste" from the food refining industries to make their supplements or is it all lab made?
