I wish California would ban liberals!

I believe an orange, naturally growing on a tree, has more than 30 known carcinogens in it.

All citrus fruits do. And they are also lethal to many small life forms. That's one reason why compost pile aficionados say never to put citrus peel in the pile.

And good old caffeine is the coffee and tea plants' defense against moles and such (it causes their teeny little hearts to redline and conk out).

I used to have my suits dry cleaned. It made the hair fall out of my head and grow out of every where it ain't supposed to. It gave me a pot belly. My teeth fell out. I can't see or hear and I don't smell too good either. My bones creak and I can't run ten miles anymore. It made my s--- hard and my d--- soft. I died a week ago next Tuesday. I ain't gonna use a dry cleaner no more.

And don't forget almonds. We have thousands of orchards growing that carcinogen packed nut of death.

We should ban all natural foods as dangerous to mankind.
In this day and age science can provide us with delicious and nutritious Soylent Green!

I ate some green soy beans outa their pods the other night and the dam things weren't even those more expensive ORGANIC ones, neither!!!

Do ya think they mighta had some GMO's mixed in there too???

Now yer really freakin me out here! I think I'ma gonna go sit up in a danged evergreen tree because the sap keeps runnin!!! Where's that butterfly woman from notso Great Britain, anaways???

[mugs99]

LOL!
That butterfly woman ain't gonna save us...we're doomed!

[mugs99]

cat litter contain the carcinogen crystalline silica and some car cleaning products contain carcinogens

It's obvious that we need to ban cats and cars!

Why?!? Ain't we got no redeemin social value??? (snort!)

"It could shut down some mom-and-pop operations -- the little guys that can't afford it,"
LOL!
That didn't stop them from putting the mom and pop gas stations out of business with their mandate to replace all fuel storage tanks.

Cheerios? Great! I just had a bowl of them. :) I like my Cheerios...I hope my nanny state doesn't ban them too.

They want cancer warnings on Cheerios, Fritos, MacDonald's and Burger King fries...and the list goes on.

Nope...We're obsolete!

We're being told that about $800 million worth was lost to frost bite.

What they aren't telling you is that the crop isn't lost.
They'll juice the frost damaged oranges.

Ok, that's enough...let's just ban everything and get it over with.

"I believe an orange, naturally growing on a tree, has more than 30 known carcinogens in it."

Are you serious?!


Oh.......I'm so bummed.

[Parmenio]

In the mid-1980s, EPA considered the epidemiological and animal evidence on tetrachloroethylene as intermediate between a probable and possible human carcinogen (Group B/C). The Agency is currently reassessing its potential carcinogenicity.

Thank you for providing information that supports my point that clinical studies have not conclusively demonstrated that perchloroethylene is a carcinogen.

[rottndog]

Yep...I don't remember the exact number, but there are dozens of carcinogenic chemical compounds, occurring naturally in all citrus plants--They are just in concentrations so low that it is not dangerous to humans--like most chemicals we come in contact with. So, don't stop eating those oranges....we need all the help we can get here in California...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

BUMP
