    Call it waxing poetic, but I thought death was causing death. Nobody would be dead if they didn't die. Hm. It's a conundrum.

    So true. I can state with 100% confidence that the number one killer in the world is death.

    I choose not to fill my body with man - added chemicals. You choose to do so.

    Don't hate.

    It's impossible to avoid it all..but you can avoid most of it. :~) and I intend to.

    Oh yes.. and those chemicals.. I would put money on it that they are the cause of most disease.. of course.. we haven't lived long enough consuming them to really know.. since pre what.. 1960s?? almost nothing was processed??

    Either way.. my clean unprocessed food tastes better and I feel fuller eating it. lol

    ETA: Oh yes... I'll take the pixie stick injection.. minus the dye please.. LOL (sugar is natural ya know.. LOL)
    No hate. Just eye rolling the when it comes to those that say processed foods are killers. Lots of it in Asia. Spam, ramen, msg, sodium nitrate, but for some odd reason they don't have the issues (especially with weight) we do in the US.

    You do realize that the sugar in a pixie stick is refined though?:laugh:

    After eating my carry-out buffalo wild wings with Caribbean Jerk sauce and sipping my diet Squirt and having a two month old Twinkie (OMG - it's still fresh!) for desert...I am sure I definitely have no opinion about this.

    My granny was one of the most out of shape, junk food eating, cigarette smoking woman I ever knew. She weighted 135lbs when she passed away at 92. A few days before she stopped eating she asked us for a box of nutty buddys, a box of swiss cake rolls little debbies, a large cheese pizza, some mellow yellows, and a bag of marshmellows while she lay there and finished the last season of lost. We all sat with her chatting about her show and laughing, having a good time with her for days. She did finish her show a few days before she passed. I hope I live to be as old as she was.

    Processed food is good for you , GMO's are too ! Feed your kids that fluorescent yogurt and don't worry about 2 paragraphs of things you can't pronounce in the ingredients .

    Murica!
    Always love the "if you can't pronounce it" statements. Like that's a pre requisite for "non chemical" foods!:laugh:

    Pronounce these: neohesperidin, naringin, rhoifolin, lonicerin, hesperidin, and other polymethoxyflavonoids (tangeretin, nobiletin, sinensetin, auranetin, rutin, etc.) dimethoxycoumarin and umbelliferone, citraurin, violaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin.

    Believe it or not, that's the chemical make up of an orange peel.


    It's an even more crap rule when you've worked in hospitals for years, so can say Latin and Greek words (and understand their entymology) as easily as breathing.

    It really sucks for the illiterate...they can't eat anything because they can't even read it, let alone pronounce it...and forget knowing what it is. They're totally screwed.

    I wish everyone a long life no matter what their choices.

    Here's a good read on why some people chose less processed eating:

    If that does work, goes to webmd and searching on the terms diet longevity should take you there.

    According to the "clean" and "unprocessed" food eaters here, eating processed man made foods will end up making us unhealthy and a quicker demise.

    So then shouldn't we just inundate death row with processed foods? It would be legal.

    Oh wait, we already do that, along with the lowest quality foods and medical service. And yet, these guys are still alive and costing the taxpayers.:laugh:

    I have to laugh at that, because you know what, they are actually good for anxiety and stress. You now what else they are good for, my particular brand of RLS. After I quit smoking it went off the charts bad. I did a few experiments and smoking a single cigarette stopped visible muscles twitches from my RLS for approximately fifteen minutes. Does that make the trade off, the "side effect" if you will of cancer a good trade? No, probably not. But, on the other hand if I knew for a fact that I would die of something unrelated to cigarettes before I would get cancer, you can bet your bippy i would still be smoking to control the RLS. Most things in life, probably INCLUDING so called "processed" foods are probably a mix of good and bad. And I didn't see processed fruit snacks giving people Hepatitis, that was the organic berries.
