The New Drug of Choice…

Through resent result findings conducted on a virtual segmented mockup of Bahamian society, surveyed equally both between young and old, elitists and moderates, male and female members of the community, and, each asked to answer the same group of question in random order; the foregoing studies clearly reflected a close relationship regarding criminality and the rapid decaying of our society with our carnivorous appetite for burnt flesh.

By now, your body is going through a period of denial, neurons sending frantic impulses to your brain, falsely interpreting incoming signal to mean; threat to life – must react!!...opining heart valve pumps that floods your thin organic vessels with fresh blood that energize and invigorates you to mindlessly scrutinize the finding of this study, but, before that happens, use this opportunity to expand awareness of your world.

It is more often after many years of human testing can we substantively assume that any product will function “as seen on TV”, sadly many unsuspecting consumers haven used certain FTA approved product are dead today as a direct result. Certainly I do not contend that the FTA is totally responsible, however; their hands are not without the stain of innocent blood.

Before we stray from topic, into the gray field, let us relate the recent study findings, the indiscriminate consumption of meat and the escalation of deadly crime in our society. Certain schools of thought subscribe to the philosophy that the economy determines the crime element, and that; the healthier the economy, the sophisticated the crime, but when the economy is bare, all are in fear.

The perception of fear sends frantic impulses through the stock exchange, which falsely interprets incoming sellers to mean; threat to life – must react!!...opining heart valve pumps that floods your thin fiber optic vessels with decreasing stock options that energize and invigorates unscrupulous company executives to purposefully select unsuspecting consumer markets to off load trailer tons of inferior products at wholesale deals. Frozen cargo's pour into our container ports loaded with meat and meat based products streamlined to appeal to the needs of individuals on the go; with little chance of enjoying a home prepared meal that covers the major food groups and meets a daily recommended requirement of vitamins and nutrition.

Dear I add, for your consideration, the budgetary limitation of many second world countries are restraint by the demand to provide food for its citizens, wherever ministries heads can cut the cost of emergency provisions is unerringly viewed as a feather in the cap, and, to secure alliances with provider nations; one must eventually sleep with the devil, even at the possible life of the consuming public. Assuring to maintain the perception of transparency and accountability, second and third world countries governmental leaders, almost always, reflect health reports and potential benefits of prospective imported product conducted around nontraditional applications involving non indigenous consumers of their respective nations i.e.; optimized fuel additives for non performance vehicles, sugar free preservatives in candy products, weight loss dietary supplements, respiratory inhalers laced with poisonous ingredients, steroid addicted poultry, birth control and prohibitory or enhancement drugs etc.etc..

These are all but a few of our imports that are inconsistent with the overall health of a budding but progressive nation. Why are we fighting against the symptoms when the fight ought to be waged against the cause of all our health issues, point blank; our public policies to import more than 85% of Bahamas’s consumer products in contravention of establishing and sustaining better quality grown local products?

The effect of our misguided political ideologies has taken quite a toll on Bahamas’s failing health care, economy and inner communities. Despite the over tendencies to remedy acute prognostics with temporary relief; we still have not made any decisive decision to administer a permanent solution to crime in the Bahamian society. With the proliferation of fast food franchises in resent decades, one is ever present to the dangers of over indulgence and the lack of respect for moderation; where but a glance in the wrong direction, even the slightest aroma of fried meat can mean devastating consequences for unsuspecting patrons.

Whether or not who has the better answers is irrelevant at this juncture, although the public demand for full disclosure, one question remains to this day unsatisfactorily unanswered; what, if any, are the long term affect of genetically enhanced imported food product on the overall health of the average Bahamian family.
