I’ve yet to see rat droppings or bugs listed as ingredients in packaged foods but we all know it’s in there.

There are FDA-allowable standards for miscellaneous ingredients (filth) in cased meats. George Carlin called them "rodent hairs, roach droppings, bug parts".

Smog and exhaust fumes - NOT by choice.

I like Twining’s Earl Grey, but will try Bigelow this winter. I tend not to drink much tea in the summer, just water (yes, I’m a yankee).

I hope you don’t think I was making fun of you. I love tea too.

“I hope you don’t think I was making fun of you...”

Not at all! You have always been fun and I adore “joshin” around. I’m not a “sensitive” type!

These young people are well on their way to becoming Democrat-voting government paid nazis with little to do but harass the productive sectors of the economy. Nazis find harassing tobacco people boring now so have moved on to food, another harmfully addictive substance.

Yeah, because what possible reason would we have to question the ingredients of foodstuffs imported from China?

We shouldn't be importing food from China. If it's that much cheaper, despite traveling 8,000 miles, put an import tax on it and use the money for building autonomous robot farm workers that understand English.

If these nazis in training analyzed the DNA in corn flakes from Ohio, many people would never eat them again. You don't want to know. The tyranny of lab instruments that can measure parts per trillion is upon us. It's what enabled the whole global warming scam.

That leaves India, Kenya or Sri Lanka. Tea doesn't grow well here.

YOU don't want to know. Don't project that onto others. Are there insect and rodent parts, dirt and feces in there in some measurable amount? Sure. Food is made from living things, and life isn't antiseptic. But if the corn flake maker is fluffing them out with sawdust because it's cheaper than corn meal, I sure as hell do want to know. My food allergies are fairly mild, but for a lot of folks that information is pretty damned important.

But hey, go ahead and protect your own ignorance and label scientists who challenge it "Nazis," if that's what gets you through the night.

The Food Nazis will seize upon this report as God's Truth and will use it as yet another attack on what's in our wretched, abominable, unhealthy daily menu of food and drink.

It won't be long now that we'll only be allowed to eat and imbibe what's on Moochelle Obama's approved list of edibles......all organic stuff, of course, and only those leafy or rooty things such as are grown in her own well-toned White House garden.

All foods that are on the federally-proscribed list will be required to have a black skull-and-crossbones image printed on the packaging.
