Sorry, its just that I always thought that rice was a "clean" product.

Argh, shouldn't have eaten all that rice when I was growing up. Then maybe I'd be taller today. Oh well, it's too late now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Ah, there's the problem! Don't eat rice...eat good food, like beef! Ok ok, I'm biased (son of a cattle rancher!), but look at me, I'm tall and in good shape, and I credit all the meat in my diet. So come on all of you vegetarians out there, hop on the meat bandwagon! You know you want to.....

Muahahahahhahaha http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

And what is even worse, when you go to her web page she promotes her "friends". I saw something about milk is bad and everyone should be drinking Raw Milk instead. Also, cereal is bad for you. Hell I eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...i'm kinda lazy in my old age.

Just like the egg scare: good, bad, good for now.

Sheesh!

All this reminds me of that slogan PETA used on junior high school students:

Don't drink milk; Drink Beer!

BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:
</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">contributes to the "greenhouse effect."</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">may cause severe burns.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.</font>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana"> Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">as an industrial solvent and coolant.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">in nuclear power plants.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">in the production of styrofoam.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">as a fire retardant.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">in many forms of cruel animal research.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.</font>
  • <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.</font>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I always recommend reading the source.
