Those motherfuckers. I'm going to immediately petition my congresswoman to ban dihydrogen monoxide. For all I know it'll work.

That would have been so sweet.

I see people drinking chemicals all the time, don't they know what chemicals can do to a person?
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Davin is surely referring to the ethyl alcohol that is the essential ingredient in the adult beverages that we take with such pleasure. Of course there is all that monosodium glutamate in our Chinese take out boxes. Actually major sources of MSG are a by product of natural sugar beet pulp. Who knew?

GMOs are a matter of fact.  Nature itself has done genetic modifications all by herself, well before Monsanto and Dow, and all the other Frankensteinian biologic chemists.

Not to defend the Monsantos and Bayers, Dows, and all, but I think that I might buy some of their stock. Better Genetically modified foods than to depend on Soylent Green for nourishments.


Davin

Not specifically. I am more referring to the ignorant usage of "chemicals." When I hear some idiot say something like, "I don't eat/drink chemicals" or "I don't put chemicals into my body," it makes me laugh a bit and then cringe a little.

I didn't know who that was, so I looked her up. I'm sorry I did.

PEOPLE EAT COOKED FOOD ALL THE TIME. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
People thought the world was flat for a long time. In order to progress with science, we had to come to grips with the false nature of that paradigm. As humans moved away from the tropics, they began eating the flesh of animals to substitute for missing fruits and vegetables. The farming of grains, the hunting of animals, and civilization's reliance on eating them cooked, came within the last 10,000 years, the same length of time man has been using fire to prepare food. As such, cooked foods are considered to be a major contributor to what are called the diseases of civilization: cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

I had a former co-worker who was into this shit and became a "life coach". She was one of the nastiest, most disrespectful people I've ever worked with.

That isn't the worst part it gets much worse, don't read about "living food" and why you must sprout things due to enzymes. It gets me angry just thinking about it, so much bullshit it is insane.
