Organic food is covered in feces left by insects that carry all kinds of horrible diseases, and all the nutrients in the soil are gone because the farmers don't rotate the crops like they used to, cereal is full of cockroach parts, everything crawling with E.Coli. I am so sick of it, everything we say and do is so completely wrong and we're all going to die horrible deaths. Can't breathe the air. Can't drink the water. Can't eat the food. Going to die of starvation and dehydration. Going to get nuked. Going to get diseased. Going to rot away and it will be like we never existed at all. Must stop now, getting poisoned by radiation and mercury from own computer. |
It's not ammonia filled, it's ammonia treated, and it isn't "stuff" it's beef.
Pink slime isn't unhealthy, it's gross. The distinction being that the former is bad for your body and the latter is objectionable to your mind. Like the position of your tongue and various other things, it is difficult to force away your consciousness of something once you have it, but it can and probably will happen, and it is a good thing. |
Exactly. |

I try to keep that view in mind, but I also try to be cautious so that I don't make a clearly avoidable mistakes like getting skin cancer because I decide not to bother with using sunscreen ever. One thing that I think is important to keep in mind is that human bodies cannot be kept in a vacuum. We've got a symbiotic relationship with some of the bacteria and microorganisms around us. Some of that stuff may actually be beneficial so that your immune system doesn't go crazy with nothing to fight off when you're healthy (there's a bunch of e-coli in your gut right now!) and then starts trying to fight off nonthreatening things like pollen or tree nuts.
Some people actually ingest whipworms (I think it's whipworms) on purpose in order to reduce allergies. There are indicators that kids who grow up playing in the dirt and interacting with animals have stronger immune systems and fewer allergies as adults.
It is sad that we have to be hyper-vigilant if we want to know where our food is coming from and what specifically is in it. It also sucks that they don't have to state that they used certain chemicals in the processing of things like fruit and vegetables or furniture.
Maybe this is a little off topic, but I'm so glad they're finally going to pull Teflon... that stuff kills birds and messes with reproductive systems. I have a roommate that uses non-stick pans and I don't know what to do because they get too hot all the time, and when they do they start giving off this choking smell that burns my throat and I know that the harmful teflon components are getting into the air but I can't tell her to stop using her own pots and pans... |

I agree. This is why I never watch the news, I don't read newspapers and just love the things I love. There are some things I just do not want to know. |

Think about it this way, in the middle ages, they boiled.. lettuce.. because it wasn't safe to eat without cooking it first.
Lettuce, something which MILLIONS of people eat raw, every, single, day.
"Pink slime" is nothing but high tech charcuterie done in an effort to use every part of an animal and insure there is actually enough food to go around. It's unappetizing when phrased as "Pink slime" and more so when they say it has ammonia in it. But the nitrates they treat Cornbeef and Pastrami, bacon, salami and hotdogs with, is also used to make gunpowder and was formerly called Saltpetre and was produced by being scrapped off the walls of bat caves, seagull roosts and the inside of privies. |

I prefer cast iron, especially for skillets, griddles, muffin pans, and large cook pots.

So true. Even the free range chicken and beef have been contaminated by the chem-trails sent by US Military planes. Nothing is safe, they are coming. |

My favorite is hard anodized aluminum, but I'm a starving student so I only have one pan 
I would love a cast iron skillet though! |

I don't have much to add here, except: Don't watch the news. They have to sensationalize everything to get people to watch, so they make everything sound 100 times worse than it really is.
Don't watch the news. If something important happens, someone will tell you. |
