Organic Vegetable Monopolies & Snack Food Vitamins

In regards to the Whole Foods/ Wild Oats merger. Won't burden you with a tirade here. But this is hilarious:

FTC lawyer Matthew Reilly told Friedman he could impose a range of remedies, and that because a lack of competition in the premium natural and organic groceries is harming consumers, the agency wants to stop further integration and impose a hold separate for the Wild Oats assets that its new owner hasn't absorbed.

Hard to see how premium natural and organic groceries are some sort of opportunity for an invincible monopoly. I got another good one, two in the same day. In regards to Diet Coke Plus:

The FDA said the soft drink, Diet Coke Plus, doesn't contain enough nutrients to qualify for use of the word "plus." Foods may use that name only if they contain at least 10% more of the reference daily intake or daily reference value of a nutrient than a similar product. The FDA also invoked a longstanding rule under which it "does not consider it appropriate" to fortify snack foods such as carbonated beverages.

I'm actually a bit moderate and not too perturbed by the requirement for 10% additional vitamins in order to qualify for "Plus". But nevertheless, I had a good laugh whereby a company is told not to add vitamins and minerals to a product. I think diet coke with vitamins sounds like a pretty good drink. What's another good idea, but one I haven't seen yet? Coffee with vitamins and minerals. Hopefully that is allowed. Would make for a pretty good start to the day. Anyhow.

I guess they are really discouraging folks from reading carbonated drinks and therefore not encouraging them as base for vitamins (maybe it will do more harm than good). Still we should be happy that there are agencies looking after the welfare of consumers.

Thanks for your thoughts. But I don't see how they are improving our drink options by finding the addition of vitamins to soda as inappropriate. Who is to say that a carbonated beverage has to be an unhealthy beverage? Heck a Coke Plus is likely to be more healthy than many fruit juices, which just contain tons of sugar plus a single, commonly found vitamin that we rarely need more of (depends on the fruit... but orange juice comes to mind) Thus one should consider how much they are helping vs. hurting.

hi i suggest something about organic vegetables:
All organic vegetables and fruits with pure high oxygen water are helpful to beat the cancer. As much raw or steamed vegetables as possible

Do the basics:
Essential building blocks to good nutrition?
1. Enzymes to break down foods and aid in digestion/elimination. Plant based enzymes are good choices.
2. Probiotics are essential for good flora, which should naturally inhabit the intestinal track. Probiotics inhibit growth of toxic bacteria and yeast. They are essential for the development of a child’s natural defenses. Probiotics reduce liver stress, enhance intestinal function and “sweeten” the gut.
3. Minerals have 3 major functions: 1) they provide the structural materials for building bones and connective tissue; 2) they facilitate the production of both neurotransmitters and hormones; and 3) they function as an integral part of chemical and enzyme reactions, such as the manufacturing of proteins and replicating of DNA. Most Americans have severe mineral malnutrition, as our soil is void of minerals. Take minerals if you need an energy boost, and to be certain that your body is receiving the 64 minerals our bodies need DAILY.
4. Greens – A green drink with a 3/030/40 nutrient value provides complete whole grain nutrition and a balance of protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, EFA’s and minerals. It provides antioxidant protection, encourages growth of healthy colonic flora, supports the digestion, assists detoxification of the liver and kidneys, and helps protect the body. It is an excellent way to begin any day.
5. Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) – Flax See, Omega 3’s and Evening Primrose oil are but a few of the essential fatty acids to choose from. EFA’s help with various chronic degenerative diseases. Research has confirmed the positive result of EFA supplementation for more than 60 major health concerns, including allergies, breast tenderness, cancer, heart disease, intestinal disorders, menopause, neurological disease, skin issues, and autoimmune disorders. Stay away from hydrogenated oils, like margarine and vegetable oils. Use extra virgin olive oil or grape seed oil instead.

I read that while organic food accounts for 1–2% of total food sales worldwide, the organic food market is growing rapidly, far ahead of the rest of the food industry, in both developed and developing nations.
* World organic food sales jumped from US $23 billion in 2002 to $52 billion in 2008.
* The world organic market has been growing by 20% a year since the early 1990s, with future growth estimates ranging from 10%–50% annually depending on the country.
