    Last night I availed myself of a Malt I haven't tried before. Tobermory - definitely one to try.

    With over 150 different Malts there is one for every taste you just haven't found the one for you yet. Finding the right one is fun too.

    we have our own way of "cleaning" the water here



    I feel if i raise my opinion on the way our food/water/air etc. are being mistreated i will be accused of not understanding the "values" of todays America. .

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    You are probably right about the stuff in food Ruthie, you will probably get more mouse shit in a loaf of bread than you will get rocket fuel by drinking the water. Just to put it in perspective, for a person to get 1 teaspoon of rocket fuel, they would have to drink 1,666,666.66 gallons of water. That is the 1PPB rate.


    It's more prudent to spend time figuring out what's right than who's right

    I think he is just trying to give some perspective.

    My roomate in college was a "food service" major, and there is an actual government allowance for the amount of rat shit in peanut butter. It is like 4 poops per jar.

    You really don't want to know what you are eating, it is beyond gross.

    BTW, "butter" is a law. Every stick of butter, regardless the brand, is the exact same. Any difference you perceive is marketing.

    Read "The Jungle"...by Upton Sinclair...about the meat-packing industry. Ugh.
    I, to, have read about what is allowed into our food..be it mouse shit or flies. Pretty nasty.
    Don't read what isn't there.

    No doubt about that... but perspectively speaking....as with the smoking/car driving arguement.... just because one thing happens it doesn't excuse the other .
