Would you like some ROUNDUP with your meal?
No? Well maybe you just need a vacation from your food sources. You could always just hop on a plane to Italy....

Have you seen this article? (http://www.realfarmacy.com/reason-toxic-wheat/) I think it's from last year, but I hadn't seen it until now, so I wanted to share.
Here's the gist of the article if you don't feel like reading the whole thing (though you should, it's interesting!):
Some people suffering from gluten allergies here in the U.S. noticed that they had NO PROBLEM eating pasta in ITALY while on vacation.
The real culprit appears to be the HARVESTING METHOD used by conventional wheat farmers in which they douse the fields a few days beforehand with the herbicide ROUNDUP (or similar herbicides containing glyphosate).
-(source: realfarmacy)
So they're KILLING the plants with CHEMICALS to allow earlier, easier, and more PROFITABLE harvesting. Unsuspecting consumers get to ingest these toxins and it messes with our gut microbes causing digestive issues and who knows what other maladies down the line.
So, the word to the wise is: AVOID CONVENTIONAL WHEAT products even if you don't currently have a wheat sensitivity.

Thanks for sharing ! Now as MONSANTO will soon be swallowed by German BAYER it even could become more poisonous.
Today people (or propagandists) are quick to label reactions to modern chemicals, EMFs and other man made influences, as syndromes, disorders, disease, etc.. We all need to start looking at the causation of health issues... look to the source. Thanks for the article.
