BOO HISS Mega Food Corporations

Can we just chalk this one  "The development of a child’s brain in early pregnancy may be impaired by low folate levels in the mother, and lead to behavioural problems such as hyperactivity and inattention, says a new study." source-nutraingredients-usa.com up   as a no brainer? A giant DUH to the world at large? I mean come on did we not ALL see this coming? You can not eat crappy food during pregnancy and expect to produce normal kids.
Certainly I didn't know there was truly a link between lack of nutrients and hyperactive kids but I knew I needed to eat real food. Thankfully my body craved it...OK and chocolate.  And for many months I barely kept anything down except salad and fruit. Weird. I wonder if my body knew what it needed and therefore craved it.

But certainly the big corporation had to know that you can't seriously change the food a nation eats to exist without some consequences. What I am getting at is: who should be responsible for the wave of kids who have trouble functioning because of hyperactivity? Who should be accountable for the millions of dollars spent on

1. medicating these kids to control (don't condone just reporting)
2. the schools who have to deal with disruptive kids(some schools can handle them quite well but for the most part they operate outside the "normal" gov't mandated testing centers aka schools)
3. counseling these kids, who know they are 'different'
4. and their families who feel like complete failures for medicating them

Someone is responsible but who? You eat what you can afford right? You eat what is advertised to you. You eat what the mega corporations manipulate from simple healthy foods into massively processed chemical laden nutrient stripped "food stuffs", yeah. We know who is responsible the same companies that advertise "1 FULL serving of vegetables in every 1/2 cup" the same companies who make fruit goo, color it with dyes, fill it with hfcs and extrude it into "fruit!" handily packaged to go in a lunch box, because real fruit is so hard to eat. And darn it just NOT sweet enough.

Or the government? For allowing this sort of 'food' to even be out there without some sort of warning like "we don't know know what diets low in nutrtional value can do to your body" or take it one step farther out there. Schools. Society. Our nation. The health of our nation has been put at risk because...why? The next generation coming up will suffer because of the 'foods' we have allowed to exist as foods.
When you eat an organic carrot you know that:

1. it has NOT been sprayed with a chemical that can potentially cause harm to you(this is a good thing)
2. they have for all intents and purpose been a food for humans for centuries(not true for deep fried corn chips covered in neuro toxins)and will probably not harm you, we know this because for the last 600 years we have been eating carrots and no one has died from eating them-not true for new fangled food stuffs  and I'm sorry but we THINK they MIGHT not kill you is just not good enough for me
3. it provides you with good honest nutritional value because it is a simple food, it has not been shredded, cooked, partially re-hydrated, deep fried, coated with chili and served in a tote bag for fun!

So I guess I wonder is there some ONE to blame or are we past that and do we just move on? Do we just need to say no more? Or do we even step in? What do we do? The health and security of our nation is at risk, do we care?

I do. When for the first time ex-lax is marketed to kids because they don't eat enough vegetables to get fiber, I care. They learn from us.

For me it's a no brainer, mega food corporations, I'm watching you. Take your 'food stuff', your million dollar advertising budgets, your lobbyists and take a hike.  Give me real food, for me, my kids, my country! You're killing us here.

Peace and Love-
