Perhaps Monsanto will pick it up to promote their chemistry set recreations of God's food.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Living_Through_Chemistry<br />John and Pat Fawcetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100424069333843494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143246399058466248.post-25023273024422523332012-07-16T10:00:03.022-07:002012-07-16T10:00:03.022-07:00Bridget, you mean you weren't really excited w...Bridget, you mean you weren't really excited when you got oatmeal and cracked wheat cereal which wasn't topped with brown sugar? I could have sworn that you kids joined in with my cereal excitement.<br /><br />I'm hurt, but I'm glad you have finally seen the light. My favorite way of explaining the diabetes industry method of making food last longer on the shelf is that they mill 31 essential vitamins and minerals out of the wheat and then bleach it with chlorine to make it whitey white (why don't you write a jingle about the whitey white bread that stays soft and white for months?). If we are so in love with white, why don't we have a third condiment shaker on the table with chlorine crystals in addition to the salt and pepper?<br /><br />The topper to this explanation which makes the whole process all right is that after removing the 31 nutrients, they add 8 vitamins and minerals and announce in large letters on the bread wrapper: "FORTIFIED!"<br /><br />The same is done with sugar. They remove the molasses from the sugar and bleach the remainder and dry it in crystals that you put on your cereal. What do they do with the molasses they remove? Other than a few bottles they can sell in health food stores to people as they do with a small amount of the wheat bran, they feed the rest to cattle which thrive on the nutrients humans reject.<br /><br />Oh yes, but Tymon likes the healthy brown sugar on his oatmeal. Is this the same Tymon who can go a full year without tasting of candy and other sweets? Brown sugar is normally white sugar with a little molasses added back in (although some is actually crystallized natural sugar without going through the bleaching process).<br /><br />Thanks, Bridget, for giving my grand kids more nutrition. They will need it for healthy lives that no amount of ObamaCare can compensate for the federally authorized crap we call food today.<br /><br />And thank you for influencing me to eat better, because I've forgotten to use a lot of the wisdom I once had. Whose ad is it that says something like "Better Living Through Chemistry?" Yeah. Right!John and Pat Fawcetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100424069333843494noreply@blogger.com
