I had my I-Pad read it to me as I worked.
I love that option.
I wish it had a better voice.

I enjoyed the conspiracy of "Big Meat" & "Big Pharma".

It's one of those posts, like the emails of two of my relatives, that if you want to be able to read it more easily, open a word document, copy and paste the post, enlarge the font, break up a couple of the paragraphs, and double-space between them.

(Following along with my finger smudges the laptop screen.)

Did I miss something? I thought someone was posting a Christmas letter - you know, the kind you hate to get. ::

I apologize. I think it was a question I asked VPL that triggered Jimbo's posts.
Yikes, that's a lot of info, too much for me to process at one sitting, I've never seen such lengthy posts.
I need a break from talk about The China Study.
Has anyone noticed the lovebugs are early this year?

Yes. There were two drowned in the dog pool at DDRR today. You missed them because a certain dog was on top of them.

I have done my own China Study. I may have brought too much. A 16 place set of Christmas China, Ten place set of "nice" china and ten places of everyday as well as the purple stoneware. I love to set a pretty table.

AND lots of tablecloths and napkins too...and chargers.

Raw food and paleo dieters 'at risk of a dangerous obsession with nutrition' | Daily Mail Online

Take your online test to see if you have orthorexia nervosa here:

Orthorexia nervosa - when healthy eating is no longer healthy (EUFIC)
•Do you spend more than 3 hours a day thinking about your diet?
•Do you plan your meals several days ahead?
•Is the nutritional value of your meal more important than the pleasure of eating it?
•Has the quality of your life decreased as the quality of your diet has increased?
•Have you become stricter with yourself lately?
•Does your self-esteem get a boost from eating healthily?
•Have you given up foods you used to enjoy in order to eat the ‘right’ foods
•Does your diet make it difficult for you to eat out, distancing you from family and friends?
•Do you feel guilty when you stray from your diet?
•Do you feel at peace with yourself and in total control when you eat healthily?

Yes to 4 or 5 of the above questions means it is time to relax more about food.
Yes to all of them means a full-blown obsession with eating
healthy food.

I, personally, am convinced our food supply is the reason for the increase in health problems ranging from heart disease to allergies and more. We simply didn't tinker with food 100 years ago. The land was natural where produce was grown and cattle ate and it wasn't controlled by large corporations looking for ways to swell profit and lower costs. Whether it is meat with added hormones, antibiotics etc. to gmo issues with built in pesticides, to preservatives and colors, to imitation "stuff" or sodium packed, our bodies are being pushed to metabolize non food substances.

I respectfully disagree. Genetic changes cannot be passed from species to species. If the caveman ate lettuce of some sort, the lettuce has probably changed drastically genetically over the years. If you eat a chicken who has inherited an autosomal dominant genetic trait you can't be affected by it or harmed from it. People are quick to not understand how genetics work and what gene therapy and gene manipulation can and cannot do.

I strongly support stem cell research and did so when they used aborted fetuses which Thankfully is no longer necessary. Genetic research is the way to solve some of the most horrendous diseases that affect mankind.

Smoking is much more an issue to worry about than Monsanto. Noxious by products from people and industry and cars. That to me is another unsolvable problem. We will eventually kill our planet but hopefully by that time, the human race will have been able to find another to move to and effect the move. Greenies can worry and fuss and do small things, but they are not going to get much done. We aren't going to negate or reverse the industrial revolution.

There is always hope and our decent human brains. Some one of us, long after we are gone will figure it out.

Sermon for the day. My views only. As I get older I am overwhelmed by ignorance; mine and the worlds, so many more questions than easy answers.
