Here We Go Again

Let's all go to the Airport for our

"Happy Meals."

No,

I don't mean McDonald's,

I'm talking about the newest trend at Airports to pack your food with

"Happy Hormones! "

According to Kieron Monks, for CNN London's Gatwick Airport started serving meals full of "Happy Hormones." Restaurants at the airport have updated their menus to include dishes designed to put travelers in a better mood. Frankie and Benny's, for example, has added a Salmon Citrus Salad that promises to improve brain function,

while the Lebanese chain, Comptoir, has a Falafel and Fattoush Salad meant to keep blood sugars at a steady level. Gatwick has teamed up with nutritionist Jo Travers, who explained the concept:

"There are certain foods that will help the 'happy' chemicals in your brain to keep flowing. Two key players are the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, along with amino acids tryptophan and theanine, which can contribute to the creation of serotonin, known to most as Happy Hormones. Low levels of these chemicals can cause fatigue in addition to lowering existing levels of serotonin. Similarly, a deficiency of Omega 3, can lead to fatigue and mood swings."

My concern about this is
the long term effect
on the human body.

Case in point,

the use of
Diethylstilbestrol
during the 1960s.

"While a variety of hormones are produced by our bodies and are essential for normal development of healthy tissues, synthetic steroid hormones used as pharmaceutical drugs, have been found to affect cancer risk. For example, diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen drug used in the 1960s was withdrawn from use after it was found to increase the risk of vaginal cancer in daughters of treated women. Lifetime exposure to natural steroid hormone estrogen is also associated with an increased risk for breast cancer. Hence, consumers are concerned about whether they are being exposed to hormones used to treat animals, and whether these hormones affect human health."

Sure,

the

FDA

might approve of the usage of

Hormones

in our food,

but as you can clearly see,

they always haven't been right.

It's only after a period of time do we see the effects from chemicals,

put in our food,

will have on our bodies.

What do you think the

Government

will do with our food once they see how these

"Happy Hormones"

affect

Frequent Flyers?

I mean,

they don't still put

Salt Peter

in the food of

New Military Recruits,

do they?

Oops,

yes they still do!

This is,

Maybe The Survivalists Got It Right?

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
