That's quite a huge accusation, do you have any evidence to back that up at all?

Cause if I understand the implication correctly, you're basically saying that the 2-3 megacorps who control food production (which is already far from true, IMO) are literally poisoning people to cause them to need antidepressants.

Are pharmaceuticals food?

Americans eat the most hyper-processed food on the planet. They're also over-prescribed with anti-depressant pharmaceuticals. Causation/Correlation? You decide: move outside the scope of Bayer's and Monsanto's reach, and see for yourself how less depressed you feel on a daily basis after a few months of real food ..

Final word: Nestlé.

Is there anywhere outside their reach that doesn't involve giving up all the other benefits of the industrial revolution? I'm not a Luddite, I like labor saving devices andblife saving procedures, and even some medicines.
