Dihydrogen Monoxide – nasty stuff, unless cut with some alcohol.

Just go to the Monsato web site and they will tell you how to pronounce it for it is good for you!

Thinkin’ Green 8019 meant “Monsanto” (the chemical company.)

G. Carlin spins in grave

What could possibly be wrong with HFCS or corn sweetener? Have you been reading the liberal rags again? Seriously – what disorder do they cause? In excess sure, overweight – but come on . . .

Monsanto- inventor of the suicide seed.

Monsanto = evil. Don’t mess with our food!!!

We have been messing with our food for millenia.

Words to live by! And continue living by!

I agree with marykitten even if you can read it you would be eaten to death

Dave Barry had the right idea: Just calculate the average number of syllables per ingredient. If the average is two or fewer, it’s probably safe to eat in small quantities. If it’s three or four, it probably causes nasty diseases in laboratory animals. And if the average is five or higher, set the container down very carefully and flee the vicinity.

The first three ingredients that Wilberforce reads off are iron supplement, vitamin B2, and vitamin B1. The disodium phosphate is used for anti-caking, or thickening, or for faster cooking as it is fast to absorb water.

I just laugh when I hear the hue and cry over GMO.

People have been modifying crops and animals for thousands of years. (and yes I know how monocropping is a bad idea)

They can quit putting brominated vegetable oil in citrus soft drinks, though: that stuff can be toxic if you drink a lot of it.

Our main issue is that we refine sugar (and corn syrup) in mass quantities and eat it like it’s a staple of our diet. This wasn’t the case before the 20th century. It’s ironic that the “health food” of 110 years ago was cornflakes, and all too soon, sugar coated cornflakes. Before that, breakfast tended to be bacon and eggs, sausage, potatoes, etc. But once sugar was mass marketed the changes began.

It is NOT the fat in the diet that makes us fat. If this were the case, then everyone in that turn-of-the-century time would have been pudgy. Instead, you see that only a few were: well-to-do individuals who were able to afford the sugar-rich foods that at that time were specialty items. Thus at that time being portly was seen as a measure of success.
