The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although science has made enormous steps
in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat Some research has shown
that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the
diet as well., especially cancer of the colon People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain
illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume

The additives that we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue
