    You didn't say anything about not drinking them.

    I'm with you! Everything has chemicals in it, though, so I'm probably gonna stick to water and crackers. That's fine, right?

    Do you mean whole foods only or all organic? I'd love to do it, unfortunately a limited budget prevents us going all organic.

    Crackerz are bad.


    Only water and air for you.

    Please produce studies that say crackers are bad. Crackers are basically just water and flour, okay?

    There are chemicals in the air (especially around the Detroit area), but fortunately we don't eat air (except around the Detroit area).

    "Organic" food will still have chemicals in it from the traffic that goes by on the roads near the farms. Have you ever seen the crap a diesel truck produces? That stuff is all over your "organic" lettuce.

    Meh, cross over into Canada. We send the worst of the Detroit chemical air over there anyway!

    So you will essentially be consuming nothing, since even water is a chemical. Did you know that cooking is a chemical reaction?


    The more you know.

    I'm there! Whole foods, nothing processed. It isn't always easy but it's totally worth it!

    actually regular gasoline is worse for the environment.

    And no breathing chemicals either!
    Pillows held against the mouth and nose work fine for this.
    That's how I got my early inheritance!
    But I digress......:smokin:

    Water and crackers are both chemicals.

    Oh, and so is air, so you'll have to stop breathing as well...

    Since you're taking this big step towards being healthier, you should also stop putting chemicals in/on your body. No shampoo, soap ar toothpaste for one year. Or laundry detergent!
