The Body Remembers What the Law Forgot
America Chemicals in Food vs Lack of Chemicals in Food in Europe
What Just Happened in U.S. Food Policy
• In November 2025, Congress passed an emergency spending bill to end the government shutdown but buried in the bill was a provision that guts food safety rules.
• Lobbyists for major food and restaurant corporations spent over $13 million this year to influence lawmakers and regulators.
• The bill blocks enforcement of the FDA’s Food Traceability Rule, which was designed to help track contaminated food and prevent outbreaks.
• It also delays implementation of new record-keeping standards until 2028, making it harder to trace the source of foodborne illness.
• These changes were pushed by groups like the National Restaurant Association and the National Grocers Association, who donated heavily to both parties.

So, the regime of Nazis has deregulated our food safety. I think they will make us sick with poisoned food. They eliminate Healthcare so we have no medical care. Then we die.
Why European Pasta Feels Better
• European wheat is often grown and processed without glyphosate (a common herbicide), and many EU countries ban or strictly regulate additives and preservatives that are routine in U.S. food.
• The EU enforces strict traceability laws, meaning food must be trackable from farm to table. This helps ensure accountability and safety.
• In contrast, U.S. wheat is frequently treated with chemicals pre- and post-harvest, including glyphosate as a desiccant, which can trigger sensitivities or illness in some people.

The Human Cost
• Foodborne illnesses are already on the rise, with over 53,000 hospitalizations and nine hundred deaths annually in the U.S.
• The rollback of safety rules means more contaminated food could reach shelves with no accountability, and consumers will not know where it came from.
Experience Is a Protest
The fact that European pasta did not make me sick is not just a personal anecdote, it is a living protest deregulated, chemically saturated food systems. My body knows the difference.
The Wheat Whispered at the Isle
“I left the Isle of Outstages Café with a satchel of sovereign pasta and a warning from the flame.
The wheat here sang. It did not scream. It did not poison. It remembered its roots.”
The Land Where Labels Lie
“I arrived in a place where food had no memory.
Where lobbyists wrote spells to erase traceability.
Where wheat was treated like a weapon, and care was deregulated.”
The Sovereign Gesture
“My friend covered brought me pasta from the Isle.
I ate. I did not get sick.
That was the protest. That was the truth. That was the archive.”
The Body Remembers What the Law Forgot
“They deregulated the food.
But my body remembered.
My archive responded.
And the flame stayed lit.”
The Bread That Betrayed Me
“They said it was just bread.
But I ate it and nearly died.
Then I crossed a border, and the wheat didn’t hurt.
The difference wasn’t in me.
It was in the chemicals.
And the care.”

The Bread That Betrayed Me
“Celiac isn’t just a diagnosis.
It’s a protest.
Wheat allergy isn’t just a reaction.
It’s a rejection of deregulated care.
They treat food as profit.
We treat survival as sacred.”
Medical Truths as Mythic Protest
• Celiac disease and wheat allergy are rising your body is not confused; it’s responding to systemic harm.
• European wheat feels different because it is different: fewer chemicals, lower gluten, cleaner supply chains.
• Your body is a sovereign archive it remembers what policy tries to erase.

Affiliate to the Blues
The blues called, and I answered not with apology, but with cadence. This is not a song for politeness. It is a dispatch from the mythic edge, where care is not weakness, and trouble is sacred. I grew up listening to the powerful voices of women before me, who shared their truths through worn microphones and with proud, unyielding spirit. Janis, Big Mama, Bessie did not whisper. They roared.

Hey, My elder sister used to read them to me, and as I grew up, my love for stories only got stronger. I started with books, and now I enjoy reading on different writing platforms. Today, I came here just to read some stories, and that’s when I found your writing. From the very first lines, it caught my attention the more I read, the more I fell in love with your words. So I just had to appreciate you for this beautiful work. I’m really excited to hear your reply!
I am always amazed at the amount of preservatives, pesticides, untraced and undeclared chemicals the American food industry uses to produce what they call food. There is a reason for the difference in obesity between the U.S. and Europe, and it's the difference between food packed with nasty chemicals and real food. I once wrote about the effects the chemicals American companies use to give attractive colours to the food has on human health. Those same chemicals are all banned in Europe. The fact is, the American food industry is slowly poisoning the population, all for profit.
