Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

So being that you brought up human poop Google poop burgers...yeah the Japanese have developed a protein product using human poop rather gross and they do eat it in the lab for testing I believe I could not continue to the end

And I hope it stays in the lab. Yuck! Really though, they had a tapeworm skin that reminded me of some rattlesnake skins I'd seen.

And as for the e coli from organic spinach, there was some just this past year. I think it was from field workers who either didn't leave the field when they had to go, or didn't wash their hands afterwards. Either one would expose the spinach to e coli.

Some growers try to save money by not providing toilets for the workers. A real case of penny wise and pound foolish.

And yet once again, "Dear Japan, what is wrong with you? "

There has got to be something wrong with a person that would look at human waste and think; "Wow, that could be a food alternative" What must go on in their heads and then to put it in their mouth.

Have you ever watched a video on how fast food has their chicken and beef processed. Not much better than eating poop. Do not even get me going on how unhealthy and gross margarine is.

No I haven't but we don't eat fast food anymore haven't had a drive-thru anything in over 3 years now. Take it back did have fries that I was craving and spent the rest of the day in the restroom. Cured. Even restaurant food tastes different than home cooked not sure what they do to it but we don't do that much either. I don't trust that hands and foods are being washed as they should be won't even eat things brought to church for bake sales many have cats and most people allow their cats to walk on counters and tables, so I opt out.

I'm confused, I've watched several documentaries on not only how fast food is processed, but on how many restaurants want extremely clean (and thus efficient) kitchens.

Margarine is just oil. It's not that unhealthy or gross. At worst, it's made from oil and skimmed milk so it's not an alternative to butter for the lactose intolerant. Sure you shouldn't pig out on it, but it's not that bad.

And yes, I've looked all these up before I posted. Nothing like poop and not gross. Not really sure where you got that info.

Quote: The process used to make margarine makes the oil bad. It causes both cancer and heart problems. Crisco is bad for us too and it turns out that Lard is not bad for us. Go figure.

Because of the process and the type of oil used, Margarine goes rancid quickly and you can taste it as a funny taste.

It was one of the stupidest things the Government and the Oil companies did to us stop us from using healthy fats.

This is what I found on margarine:

Pass The Butter... Please.
This is interesting...
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings..
DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .

And now, for Margarine..
Very High in Trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Dr. Gourmet Says...

There was a time when nutritionists and dieticians recommended avoiding butter and using margarine because of the amount of saturated fat in butter. We know now that while too much saturated fat can promote heart disease, it is trans-fats that are far more of a problem. While these types of fats do occur in nature, they do only in small amounts. Unfortunately, for a long time many products that were produced were very high in trans-fats.
The reason for this is that when margarine and vegetable shortening are created by hydrogenating oils, trans-fats are created in the process. Those trans-fats were found in a wide variety of foods and have probably been a greater promoter of heart disease than has butter or other saturated fats.
These days more and more foods contain less and less trans-fats, including margarines. The "spreads" that are on the market now are lower fat versions of margarine and contain very little trans-fats. Smart Balance is a good example of this.
