Hope this gets through. I've lost email on my regular account.
Byron- thanks, but NO THANKS! I'm not that bad off. If you want to help-
my wife is currently volunteering all her time with "People helping
people"- find some local organization to donate to. I can finally see my
basement floor & spent most of yesterday dumping bleach to stay
ahead of the mold. I'm just fine thank you.
I'm enjoying the banter on the food stuffs. That 10, 15, or 30 extra
pounds most of us are packing around our midsections represents
more of a direct threat to our health than the tablespoon of additives
we'll eat in a life time. There's a lot of 'health hypocrisy' around. I've a
captain on the FD who'll eat a bag of oreos but wash it down with a diet
coke so that he feels like he's doing something to cut calories. I watch
folks at the restaraunt get the triple stack of pancakes & then insist on
'sweet & low' for the tea. The Japanese are absolutely anal about
sodium benzoate levels in imported food, but lecture you on the evils of
it while chain smoking. Some of the 'certified organic' chemicals are
waaayy worse than the commercial stuff- nicotine sulfate comes to
mind. Aresenic & lead are 'natural' also ;-)
