re tobacco--did you see the article Monday in the WSJ about R.J. Reynolds and it's nicotine program? Yikes!
yeah, I got on my usual rant with that last one. It is probably just the latest chapter in the saga of US/European trade relations.
We're very lucky over here in America, food quality is so much better than the local crap they eat over there. My wife lived in London a couple years, I'm pretty sure it was she who told me how awful the meat is, much less getting good produce.
And I lived for a few years in Wenatchee-- you know, the Apple capitol? I did not care for the level of spraying they do on the fruit crops over there, but I have to say, I'd rather have cheap high-quality fruit in my diet, with a small amount of pesticides, than have to eat a diet of processed foods. Fresh fruit, mmmm. Nothing like a ripe peach right off the tree.
Have a nice Holiday Dude...I'm working through Monday, you'll probably see a few more posts from me on the subject, ah, uploaded during my breaks of course;-) |
