One sure way to go on a diet is to just stop eating all meat, but then there are problems with veggies too.

PHOENIX - Officials say Maricopa County inspectors found a coloring agent used to add color to concrete in meat sold at three Phoenix meat markets.

Someone please tell me, what was the purpose of this Cemix being added to food?

Someone please tell me, what was the purpose of this Cemix being added to food?

If it is iron oxide, aka, rust, I would guess the red color? I like to eat grass fed beef , because it has a good omega 3 profile. But I think it would take a lot to make some one sick. How much did they put in? Weird stuff. They put so much crap in the food I don't think anything is safe to eat anymore.

Someone should point this out to Pres. Obama and Michelle. He loves his meat, and Michelle is wanting to change our food. She can start with Cemix!!!

yummy, maybe we can market is as Thai, or French, or a component of sushi? Ce-Mix, Le Cemiques??? It is so gross what is in and on food. Our water even in most farming communities is so polluted that everything is tainted. We lived surrounded by wheat on three sides and pasture on the fourth, across the road. All were so heavily herbicided that it was impossible to drink the water, or breathe the air without being impacted. Our animals all got adrenal tumors, as Roundup in particular used both on no til grain and pasture is a known adrenal disruptor and cancer causer. Even the "organic" crops a few miles down the road use the same water, which is polluted and contaminated, not to mention wind blown seed and run off. Then the transport trucks for most organic stuff out there were also contaminated with fungicide products that don't degrade that they were far from pure. So, I guess we might as well go soyulent green?

don't ask don't tell? My husband it cooking. I think un-naturally red beef stew with tainted taters and putrid peas, chemically castrated carrots with organic sea salt?

When my kids were babies I tried to do all organic and home canned and frozen from know/ or grown sources. At that point there was only one place to get wheat that wasn't contaminated with edb, or was it etb. So I researched all this stuff and have kept up since. I still don't eat much grain anymore because it doesn't agree with me and makes me gain tons of weight.

I am in my 60s now and not that worried about it. But I tend to think Daniel Quinn in The Story of B and Beyond Civilization has this stuff right.

Ever wondered about iron fortified cereal? Take a cup of it, mash it , run a magnet over it. Iron fillings. Iron oxide is NOT a problem if ingested correctly (vs injected via a wound directly into the blood stream).

If people saw the natural color of beef/pork/elk/whatever after a day in the package they would not buy it. The US population has been brainwashed into thinking beef is ALWAYS red. WRONG!!! It is the dyes.

I do agree though, one should not need a degree in chemistry to be able to read a label of ingredients.

Added vitamins are one thing, hexdextromonocuprodiathalenehydroxalaminewhateversetofletters is another.

I want my bag of flour to say "wheat" or "bran" period. My bread should say "bran, water, eggs, milk, yeast" (order not necessarily correct) period. Hard to find. Usually have to make it yourself.

Rockwater,

hexdextromonocuprodiathalenehydroxalamine

What the heck is it, and what food (alleged food) is it in?

TDR:

Please note the full name was "hexdextromonocuprodiathalenehydroxalaminewhateversetofletters"

Please note the bold (in this 2.2) on the last 20 or so letters (whateversetofletters). "what ever set of letters"

Was making fun of the long chemistry names.
