*Stepping onto soapbox*
I saw this title on another blog, and I thought, "What a perfect way to describe how I'm feeling!".
This is usually the season on the year where I am loud and proud about this great country that we live in, but lately I feel myself becoming more and more cynical. If you haven't picked up from earlier posts, eating cleanly is something that is VERY important to me. However, with the current political climate, this is something that is nearly impossible to do in our "free" country. So free, we are not allowed to know what all is in the food that we eat. So free, the very organizations that are supposed to monitoring the safety of our food have financial ties to the companies who are making our food less and less safe. So free, laws are being passed that exempt said companies from due process and the court systems.
It just makes me so sad and angry all at the same time.
Did you know that in just about EVERY other industrialized country, the majority of the conventional food in American grocery stores is illegal? There's something to ponder.
It really doesn't even have to do with one particular political party or another because the current state of things was set in motion several administrations ago, and it has yet to be stopped.
I'm tired of living in a country where big business controls the food supply.
