Just another of the many reasons our average lifespan continues to decrease.

Oh wait...never mind...sorry.

If average life expectancy is increasing it's because of advances in medical technology. Many people undergo seemingly endless medical procedures, multiple operations, years of chemotherapy, and various life support systems. Often there's no quality of life left. I hardly call it living. To see what it's like, just visit any nursing home.

We lived about a mile from m&m in hackettsown NJ When they roasted the peanuts you could smell it for miles. DELICIOUS.

I have seen the refernces stating some "petroleum" based elements in select products, but have yet to hear about where is it stated that it is bad for anybody.

I look at it on a basis that ANY foodstuffs I may encounter that contain "petroleum" are in the less than 2% of my total diet......enough said!!!

This reminds me of the warnings in the past about how food cooked on a charcoal grill is "bad for you". Soundly debunked by an analysis that stated one would have to eat so many hundreds of pounds per day to matter.

I am going back to enjoy the other 98% of what I eat every day.

Out of 100,000 people, we mostly see the active ones who are out-and-about. And the media doesn't focus on the others, it's not good business. They are kept behind closed doors.

Check the obituary page: I estimate there are about 80 or more Villager deaths per month.

FYI, they use a special type petroleum for M&Ms. It's called "light sweet crude".
