On a related note - most people think organic means pesticide free. It doesn't. It just means the pesticides used are organic. They are no less poisonous.
GMO products being hazardous for ones health is also highly suspect. I'm not pro GMO I'm simply pro evidence before jumping to conclusions.
Overall I think it's a pretty rediculous assertion that you're making, that alternative products are somehow inferior and your health may suffer long term because of it. However, I am easily swayed when evidence is provided to back ones claims. Got any?
I too refuse to jump to conclusions before I have full evidence. Ergo, my body and person are not going to be the guinea pig that collects that evidence. Anyone who still believes that the big food corps or the FDA sincerely care about our health and well being rather than their own pockets, better do a little real research into the number of drugs, food or household ingredients, and so forth that were at one time considered perfectly safe yet proved to be lethal.
However, anyone who believes that GMO and non-organic toxins laden foods are better than or as good as organic, is perfectly welcome to continue to consume them. I would recommend, none-the-less, a little more thorough and less glib research into the reasons our oh so scientifically enlightened culture has ever increasing auto immune disorders, obesity and other illnesses. Must be a total coincidence between that and what we put in our bodies...
One must not just believe in and fall prey to "authorities" and self-proclaimed "experts" who follow the established fixed ideas and false data of many main stream "scientists" some of whom refuse to look at the truth when it stares them in the face. It reminds me of those doctors who said they would "rather err with Galen than proclaim the truth with Harvey" when Harvey discovered that the heart circulated the blood in the body (Galen scientifically approved assertion was that the heart simply produced heat and the blood passed through some invisible pores, or some such nonsense).
Actually a lot of the IP protein is in fact from non GMO soy, and not "mostly whey". And where did you get your info that all whey protein only comes from non organic sources?
Finally, I did not make any assertions, ridiculous or otherwise about alternative meals. I just said to check them out.
