Eye opener.

Eye opener. Never thought about the tomatoes that way (but I don't eat canned tomatoes, so that's not an issue), I've pretty much switched to soy milk and I fell in love with the flavor of stove top pan popcorn instead of microwave, so I'm good there. However, I didn't know about the potatoes and apples. The beef and salmon I did know about.

I will have to check out that eatwild.com site.

Also - Canada declared BPA a toxic substance last year. More countries need to get behind that...and while we're waiting on them (heh), people need to use purchasing power to convince companies to stop using cans and cardboard cartons with BPA linings.

It's always something right? We should be the healthiest people on earth but we trade low prices for toxin. Fox isn't the first to report these issues and I wish the word would get out there more broadly.

Even the organic stuff is bad, to be honest. They can refrain from using chemical fertilisers and pesticides, but we've screwed up our water table with contaminants - and our rain clouds carry contaminants as well. Thanks to irrigation, that all shows up in our foods in varying amounts.

People in large cities - and downwind from large cities - are breathing in miniscule plastic particles. There are millions of tons of plastic waste floating in our lakes and oceans, leaching into the water and poisoning another part of our food supply. I think we're pretty well screwed.

And on that happy note, I think I need a drink. I shouldn't have studied environmental science - it's probably the most depressing degree program on the face of the planet right now.

Basically, yes - nothing from a can lined with BPA is healthy. Alice is correct - the high acidity in tomatoes leeches out more of the toxins, thus you wind up with a higher dose of the nasty stuff.

Processed and concentrated soy is loaded with really potent neurotoxins. There are warnings out now that it should not be consumed by children before a certain age. It absolutely should have been on this list!!! The latest on soy in the news the past months is completely scary. Jason have you tried almond milk?

Nope. But I have tried rice milk and didn't care for it.

Try coconut milk. Tasty goodness. :)

It also makes fantastic brownies!

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
