I would say the amount and kind of food eaten rather than the way it is produced causes most of the problems you listed.
Maybe. Let's look at one thing, partially hydrongenated oil, or trans fats. They are incredibly bad for you, yet we as a nation eat tons and tons of it. Why?

"The following newfangled fats can cause cancer, heart disease, immune system dysfunction, sterility, learning disabilities, growth problems and osteoporosis:
All hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils
Industrially processed liquid oils such as soy, corn, safflower, cottonseed and canola
Fats and oils (especially vegetable oils) heated to very high temperatures in processing and frying." |
