I can’t help myself, if my sense of conservatism has a dash of morality behind it. :)

“It may not be a drink, in a literal sense, but if it’s sitting in vats for months on end, the nutritional value is greatly reduced, possibly to nothingness.”

That isn’t true either.

For one thing, “sitting in vats” is a statement far removed from reality. If they are storing it, you can bet it is stored in TANKS. Which are sealed. Do you actually think there are open vats of juice sitting around a warehouse somewhere for months at a time? Do you realize how silly that sounds to any thinking person?

There is a LEGAL definition of juice. You CAN NOT, by law, sell mixtures of juices and flavored water and sugar or anything else like that as “Juice”. If it says “Juice” on the label, it IS juice. Unless somebody is doing something illegal.

And as far as tomatoes go, I wouldn’t eat one right out the garden. Tomatoes make me puke. Maybe I should start a rumor that they are poisonous. (I could list the chemical compounds they contain, and scare the bejeepers out of all the non-thinking idiots running around this country.)

There is NOTHING like fresh squoze OJ

Natural sugars found in fruits aren’t necessarily bad for you, especially consumed in moderation. The sugars in processed food, however, are nasty

Me too :-)

Awesome!! I should have known with your screen name. :) I thank God for both of us. I swear we Freepers in recovery should all try to meet at some preplanned meetings someday. Or just meet for some coffee--you know what they say about two drunks and a pot of coffee. :) (my honey is also sober.) How cool would that be? Take care my FRiend and may God continue to bless you and yours.

Yep, I always found it curious that FR was established during the Clinton administration when it turns out there are so many friends of Bill around here ;-)

The wife makes sure I eat at least 2 oranges a day.

She peels them and places them right next to my scotch & water.

It’s gotta be tough to be Amish and have to collect honey. No gloves, no beekeeping equipment.

Just the local lake to dive into, when things go bad.

Yummy! Partially hydrogenated oils! One of two things that cancer feeds off of!

Rush re Two if by Tea "But, look, we still gotta go through the -- there's federal shelf life tests. I mean you wouldn't believe the hoops to jump through to bring it to market."

The FDA might have something to do with it. The gubbmint needs to dip its hand in the till, too.

The Alar scare was created by a company called Fenton Communications... and they are probably involved in this OJ scare too.

Most dangerous stuff in the universe. You could die just by injesting it. It falls out of the sky and kills.
