User ID: 39685812 United States 12/10/2013 09:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | At least you left half the container, I've stumbled across 3 peanuts in the container and was like wft is this for? It's just not right when all you want is a handful and there's only 3 in there. I would have rather found an empty container in the trash. Last Edited by nah-t on 12/10/2013 09:48 AM When you find a piece of shit along side the road and you poke it with a stick, what do you expect to find inside of it, gold? No, it's just going to stink more. |

User ID: 15256858 United States 12/10/2013 10:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The new protocols require all raw almonds sold in North America to be pasteurized, thereby killing off any wayward bacteria. How? By quick-steaming the nuts, or spraying them with propylene oxide (PPO), a chemical so nasty that it was banned by both the National Hot Rod and American Motorcycle Racing Associations, where it had been used as a fuel before being deemed too dangerous. PPO is also a carcinogen. For these and other reasons, most countries, including the EU, ban imported nuts treated with PPO. (The ABC is actively working to change that.) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51281656 [link to www.localharvest.org] Well, you piqued my interest on PPO or gassing so I went on a search. Here is a list of probably at least one of your favorite places to buy almonds and what the article says about those brands. [link to foodidentitytheft.com] |

User ID: 15256858 United States 12/10/2013 10:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Every good food out there that had any single ingredient that would lead to good health or prevention has been perverted, contaminated, adulterated or otherwise rendered neutered. Take Florida avocados for example. They were naturally huge and contained a specific ingredient in their make up that was super beneficial to humans. That ingredient was removed from them and now the avocados claim they are low fat. For those of you dumb enough to think that the little bit of PPO sprayed on almonds is really not harmful and is insignificant you are either blind, stupid or simply don't care or know.... it isn't just about this little bit sprayed on almonds...it is about the bigger picture of a little bit sprayed on this item, a little bit sprayed on that item...this item modified, that item modified and when you look at all you are consuming on a daily basic it is a heavy large toxic dose of chemical. Heck you don't even need a dose of Fukushima...you are being poisoned in so many ways it is just incredible...and at least a third of that toxic dose is going in your mouth. If you choose to continue to consume sprayed almonds that is your choice but at least now you are an informed consumer and you cannot deny that. Last Edited by JasmineinNM on 12/10/2013 10:31 AM |

I do get intense sometimes in may postings and honestly it was a "general" statement. Anymore there just isn't anything left almost that isn't untainted in some way and we do have to eat something. Our options are diminishing by the hour. Last Edited by JasmineinNM on 12/10/2013 12:17 PM |

It's just not right when all you want is a handful and there's only 3 in there. I would have rather found an empty container in the trash. I've done that. It is a way of saying that we need to buy some more! Men and their secret code for shopping list is almost empty containers. Thanks for the heads up, it really is frustrating finding these almost empty containers everywhere! lol! But sometimes we don't find these empty containers until after we get back from the store so leaving them on the counter is a better way to communicate. When you find a piece of shit along side the road and you poke it with a stick, what do you expect to find inside of it, gold? No, it's just going to stink more. |
