I think you may have that upside down.

95% of our food is produced by family farmers, many of whom have formed corporations (family owned) due to government interference.

“Passionate Farmer Takes On Her Government Harassers”

Wow, good stuff and thanks for posting it because it proves my point!

"At one point, Peter Schwartz — a county supervisor (government stooge) who previously served as a PEC board member (Government stooge worked for private environmental corp) — discussed having Boneta’s mortgage called in with Phillip Thomas, (Government Stooge gets private Real estate corp to call in Boneta's Mortgage) a real estate mogul who previously owned the land that includes Boneta’s farm.

Well done. Thanks for making it so easy to prove the point!

"Clearly, you didn't grasp what I wrote..."

Oh no I grasped it fine. The problem is it's another straw man argument.

Lets us review:

I said that MSG is used to make mice fat for scientific studies on obesity. You said in post 94 : "Scientists don't feed rodents MSG to make them fat.....unless they happen to be looking for grant money from scientific illiterates."

Well apparently you are wrong being that MSG Obesity Induced Mice are available for purchase from laboratory suppliers. See this is the bit you glossed over. Then you poo poo the numerous research studies that uses these mice. I guess its just a grand conspiracy to make you look like you don't know what you are talking about. hahahah

Further if such mice are indeed as you say only available because of government grants then apparently the government pays people to make mice fat using MSG even though the FDA says there is no known detrimental effects from ingesting MSG. And we all know that the FDA would never allow something on the market that is detrimental to humans when ingested... Right?

Hey, BQ. I buy from a rancher who comes into town weekly with grassfed meat and organic veggies. Delish, but pricey. And he’s not here in the winter. Hoping and praying his place doesn’t burn down in these fires.

Safeway is getting competitive with organic stuff, at last.
I can also walk to Trader Joe, which has a lot of organic stuff. Anything with their name on it is guaranteed non-GMO. Don’t know whether you are close to a TJ, but try it if you are:)

Had a really nice surprise when my manly-man son-in-law, a LEO, switched to organic non-GMO foods. Of course my daughter does the buying, but he’s taken it to heart.

I scrutinized that chart and found that I don’t use a single product shown on it.

How many pounds of MSG are the mice force fed? Scale that to human consumption.

A little salt is required for good health. Too much will kill you. Your position: "Salt kills, it is dangerous".

You are silly.

Food fetishist.

Being overly concerned about what you eat is a first world problem.

Having something to eat at all is a human problem.

Heck, that was true of my small town grocery until the late 1980’s.

Ah maybe if you read the study you would understand. Msg makes you want to eat more and more. It screws with your body’s ability to know when you’ve had enough to eat according to the studies. That is why they use it on mice to make them fat.

How much MSG?

I studied. I graduated private culinary school and the Joint Navy/Air Force Cooking school. I had professional training.

What training did you have?

I sprinkle MSG on my food, and I'm still less than 130 lbs.

How is that for obesity?

You generalize where generalizations are silly.

You are silly.

You made the assertion, you read the study, you know all about it.

You tell me how much MSG they fed the rodents.

You won't, because it will make you look as silly as you are.

No see you are the expert. You pretended to have the info because as you say you are en expert so tell us the answer.

Because I am sure someone who has graduated cookin' school is an expert on the effects of prolonged consumption of MSG on the human body.

Could you list the studies you have done that are peer reviewed?

I'm not playing that game, hero. My white papers were about bread.

You tell me how much MSG the rodents ate.

You won't do that.

It makes you look like the silly person you are.

Have you been to any technical school? Are you a doctor? A biologist? A zymurgist?

You aren't even a lowly cook.
