    Not putting one gram of US hormone infused, anti-biotic filled, chlorinated garbage from the US in my body - ever.

      Canadian farmers are allowed to use antibiotics and hormones in food animals, and tap water is chlorinated and fluorinated…

        The issue with chlorinated chicken isn’t about the chlorine itself, it’s because it’s a process used to counter unsafe/dirty farming conditions, and can make it harder to detect the bacteria and salmonella in the end product.

    I absolutely do not need a professor to answer this question. Also what the actual fuck kind of response is “we should be skeptical”. Is this the headline for an article in “‘Duh’ weekly” or something? Well, No shit Dr. Empiricism; of course we should. Boycott that shit into oblivion.

    Easy test. Review a trainload of produce and find it to be unfit for consumption. Sell it to the US. If it’s rejected you know there is still a system in place. If it’s accepted you know to stop all imports.

    General health advice.

    Stick with as close to organic foods as possible. I know it may not be easy to go 100% organic for certain types of foods, due to the current day market. Which is why I suggested to stay as close as possible.

    If you can, go for as close to 100% organic with the following.

    a. fruits b. leafy greens/veggies c. organic fish over chicken such as Salmon d. seeds and nuts. Such as Almonds, cashews,

    If you’re going to mix your drinks try to do so organically, such as by the slice of lemon on a cup. Tea is generally safe, especially green tea and black tea, which are known to be pretty healthy.

    If you eat snacks or candies, you can do so, but check ingrediants that are put into your treats. Make sure there isn’t anything that raises a red flag, then check online to see if it doesn’t reach a red flag with anyone online. If it comes down to it, talk with a nutrition expert if the internet doesn’t seem to answer any question you may have.

      I didn’t downvote but I imagine it’s due to your comment being somewhat irrelevant to the post and overall discussion.

      Your comment isn’t bad, it just might be too loosely tied to the post.

      Do you disagree with the articles points? Is there any misleading or false information in the article? Do you have an alternative source reporting on this that is acceptable to you for consumption?

        i think it’s useful to point out regardless so people can form their own opinions with as much information as possible about potential ulterior motives

            it is useful to know that there might be reasons besides the point that they’re making though… you can make all completely correct arguments and still be wrong in a wider context

            why are they making the point? why do they care? what outcome are they trying to achieve? perhaps incentives are aligned, but perhaps not

            spin exists, truth can still be misleading

              Yes I am sure thousands of people are able to keep this all under wraps to undermine Canadian democracy. They are educating Canadians on the dangers of US products for some nefarious reason only the shadow Government can know.

              Fuck out of here with this nonsense there are real problems in the world and this isn’t helpful.

            Actually in this specific scenario, when we are trying to encourage and grow the buy Canadian movement, and move away from reliance on American, it makes sense.

              If the information is sound it doesn’t matter who is saying it. Hard stop, no arguments.

                This is rapidly becoming its own red flag.

                  The Ottawa Citizen is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.

                  Do you disagree with the articles points? Is there any misleading or false information in the article?
                  

                  I hear you. Attack the points, not the person. In general, agreed.

                  Do you have an alternative source reporting on this that is acceptable to you for consumption?
                  

                  Not on this particular topic, but I also haven’t looked. See American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.

                  Who is saying the information isn’t sound?

    Wasn’t there an old documentary about this called the Corporation about Fox News burying the story about US milk and Canada being concerned about the cover up?
