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

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

    I thought crackers were inert?

    I'm going to cleanse all the chemicals from by body.

    RNA is first on my sh*tlist

    and that ATP is a nasty mofo too...

    Dihydrogen monoxide is the worst one!

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

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

    More than that, your worst export into Windsor is the drunken 19 year olds.
    Hey, I used to be one of those exports - years and years and years ago.

    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!

    I hereby resolve to eat absolutely no chemicals for the rest of the year!

    Who is with me? No Mendeleev buffet of poison for me!
    You're screwed then since all food and drink are made of chemicals bonded together!!!

    I am always striving for that. Be aware though many foods you do not think of having chemicals are refined with them. ie, sugar But I agree its a good one :bigsmile:

    I did this about 7 years ago and lost 10 lbs without even trying. The first thing I did was give up soda. My stomach felt so much better once I did that. ( i only drank diet soda so it wasn't the decrease in calories that spurred the weight loss). Then I read every label on every food I purchased. In the beginning it was a little annoying ( the same way counting calories is in the beginning) but then you wind up knowing whats in all the foods and you know what to buy without reading all the labels.

    And contrary to myth, the food is not more expensive. My food bill was about the same or a little less each time. Some natural foods are actually cheaper because most people tend to favor the so-called "tasty" stuff.

    oh hah hah all you people think your so funny but other people get it. I'm not saying no food just no chemicals.

    Nothing chemical in my food (or drinking ms funny pants from the first page) or no food made out of chemicals (especially that dihydrous monoxide stuff, that sounds awful!)

    If you ask me, the periodic chart is just a food pyramid for suicidals.
