Hello- If it weren’t for chemicals, we would not exist. We ARE chemicals, and our own bodies manufacture a long list of good stuff like this, and bad stuff like this. I dislike having my emotions stirred up by this kind of writing. Any other kind of food is just as bad or worse. Get over it!
I can’t deal with people like Bob who still think it is ok to put all of this crap into our body. Would you feed this to your dog? Would you give soda to your plants? Would you put oil in your gas tank? The wrong chemicals can KILL you! It seems as if most people care about the quality of fuel they give their vehicles, their lawn and their pets more than their own bodies. Wake up Bob and be part of the solution versus part of the problem.
Thank you FPS for this posting.
