The test I described WAS for “non-celiac gluten sensitivity. (NCGS)” Here’s what really happens:
As you quit being a child, sugar and a lack of fiber cause irregular bowel movements (which actually PREVENT colon cancer) and IBS. With the hysteria about NCGS, people stop eating traditional pasta and sugar and start eating fiber. They cure their IBS and get more regular and say “OMG! I had Celiac’s disease!” or “I had Gluten senstivity!”
Bull. Gluten is good for you. And for half of these hippies, it’s the only real protein they get. Cut out their protein, and they get weak-minded and subservient. Maybe its because hunters and gatherers needed to be less aggressive than hunters. I don’t know why, though. But I do know that every society that wanted subservient, mindless peasants cut out their protein, from King John who banned hunting to the Maoist Chinese who said eating animals was decadent, to Adolf Hitler who promoted veganism. If you recall, even in Oliver Twist, the orphanage riot began with a nice, new lady who gave the orphans meat.
And that’s why this Gluten-free epidemic occurs in the same strains of affluenza as the crusade against meat.
That is true
I can remember when that Portuguese soap I favor called Bañho ..bath.....used to be cheap at Maxx
Now it’s hard to find
But they still have deals
No. The meat doesn’t change. Only the living organisms IN the meat change. But frankly, if you’ve ever eaten repackaged, old meat and realized WHY it was so yuck, you wouldn’t go back to the same store. I’ve bought bright, pink looking hamburger meat that was sticky inside, and stank quickly, turning brownish from the inside out.
Naturally, meat turns brown from the outside in, and a little brown won’t kill you. But irradiation works better on the surface than the inside, so irradiate meat rots from the inside out. When it goes brown, it isn’t just a little exposure to air; it’s rotten nasty.
So that’s how you know if meat has been irradiated: if it doesn’t turn brown after you open the package for a day. (Irradiated meat will turn dark red when it dries on exposure to air, so note that that’s NOT what I mean by brown.)
Some of the chain stores in smaller markets are really bad about recycling near-spoiled meat. They’re used to wringing every cent out of their product before ditching it (the bog-box stores have too much turnover to get like that sometimes). And the old meat managers may not understand that the meat is closer to rotten than they think it is.
Believe me: nothing can take the romantic nostalgia for small businesses like working in a small, franchised supermarket.
Another reason some meat is very pink — sometimes unnaturally so — is the use of bleach. I’m far less certain of the harmlessness of bleached food, especially hamburger and other foods that might absorb more than traces of it.
Not even on my shopping list .. especially now that you can go ‘Prime’ there.
The toe knows
Thanks for the information.
The one that recently opened here is in a largely middle-class area; but a few blocks from a big University and its ‘faculty ghetto’.
Okay. My belief is that he wants us to love **our fellows** and to fight evil to the bloody end.
I’m not speaking for God either, just trying to understand what He has told us.
It was Yeltzin! Thanks.

Okay, I see, so it’s still somewhat sweet.
”FYI if you are in your late forties you ARE pushing your fifties.”
Yeah, you figured out the joke.
Whole Foods is a disgusting place. I hold my nose and maintain a grip on my stomach when I so much as get near the foul place.
“She started to cry. Highlight of my week.”
Between you and her she might have an easier time finding mercy in the afterlife. I have said a few things like that over the years but really regret them now.
On the other hand, the fact that somebody called her on her petulant behavior might have caused the woman to examine herself and her attitudes.
Everybody gets frustrated and mouths off now and then, and I don’t believe God holds us to every little spout-off. Our spiritual fate probably has more to do with the general tenor of our convictions and intentions.
We’re all here at God’s pleasure, and there’s no telling what part our actions may play in the grand scheme of things. We may momentarily mean something for “evil”, while He means it for good; and unbeknownst, we’re doing His will...
That can happen too but I wouldn’t count on it in advance of making a hurtful comment.
It may well be that God does hold us to “every little spout off”. When people return from a near death experience they often speak of being subjected to a “film strip” of their actions during life. They dread having to see the bad parts of that again when they actually die.
“Between you and her she might have an easier time finding mercy in the afterlife. I have said a few things like that over the years but really regret them now.”
Sure, it wasn’t my best 30 seconds, but don’t call me a name and expect for me to turn the other cheek.
