But the grain industry is not required to label/inform their customers that their grain may very well be a genetically modified frankengrain created by Monsanto. Doh! LOL ! I used to work in the food industry (company name not stated) as a Teamster laborer (not an evil corporate executive) and ther...

(Eating a big-arse Kraft marshmallow in the spirit of the moment...) Oh, wait, it contains tetrasodium pyrophosphate (gack!) Since Max is not stupid, but merely ignorant, he takes a minute to look that up: "Toxicity is approximately twice that of table salt when ingested orally." (um, too much salt ...

Here', I'll pet the cat backwards again ...... If you have a food addiction you need TREATMENT, not blame the manufacturer. If you are addicted to sugar, you need a substance abuse therapist not an attorney. You have a medical condition that if you cannot resolve yourself, you need professional help...

So that is what you believe. Those who fail to do their own research on everything they put in their mouth are stupid. No, I didn't say that. I said YOU are responsible for what YOU put in YOUR mouth. I put as a footnote that there are stupid people on this planet. You joined the content of two par...

We run a business. We see competitors spew baloney constantly; hype, fancy words ("collaborative", "sustainable", etc), and excessive claims. We refuse to do that. We tell the customer the truth, pleasant or painful. This makes our business not grow as fast, but steadily and firmly like an oak. Afte...

I think it all comes down to personal choices about what is best for each of us, as individuals. You cannot educate stupid people, it's an act of frustration. Stupid people, billions of them on this planet, will do stupid things. Of course this is true, but in many cases it is not that people are s...

As for labels, there is no need for reading labels if we just educate people not to eat anything that comes with a label. Eat fresh meats and vegetables and there is no need to read labels. Try to find a fresh vegie in my neighbourhood that hasn't spent a week travelling to get here. A head of lett...

No. Big Oil based city. My daughter in Whitehorse,Yukon has enjoyed that though. Many of her employees hunt and bring gifts of moose and caribou for the boss. Ya, locally harvested tar sands just aren't as tasty. I pity you living in that cold, cold place when the Arctic winds whip down from the NW...

I ask as I down four Girl Scout Samoas. Mmmmm... my fav. Wife goes for thin mints, but I like the Samoas the best. I rarely hear the cute little Girl Scouts say, "Mister, would like to buy some fresh celery?" LOL. Evil marketing machine they are, you cannot resist their smiles, woeful "buy this" ey...

Ah, you are in Edmonton, so you are "Up in Canada" to me. Maybe Edmonton affords you some benefit as there may be sources of wild game meat at a local butcher? As I understand it the health benefits substantially exceed that of farm raised "critters"?

We buy most of our meats from a local ethnic (Dutch) butcher We also buy our meats from a local butcher, it's either Prime or Choice and really very good. If they open a "Super Target" (has groceries), go in there some time and look in the meat case. If they have the same meat as we do (Canada may ...

The problem is not the real Belgian waffle but the stuff in your grocery store that comes in a bag or container. Read the side of your breakfast cereal some time - it comes carefully tuned to hit your addiction centers. A real Belgian waffle is probably better for you. I think the BEST THING in tha...

I think you confuse "liberty" and "free will" with moderation. I have no problem with liberty and the freedom for any individual to worship the dark side and addict themselves to McDonalds. I think freedom of choice is what you are trying to compare to the OP's point. Apples and oranges. Right. Lib...
