The teaching of the NT is Torah, in every case. Too bad that some hate Yehova’s loving Torah so much that they will stretch errors to escape his commandments. The whole NT is about teaching gentiles how to follow Torah.

Wrong.

The NT is about teaching people to follow CHRIST.

People cannot live up to God's standards and be holy as God is holy. Not possible. Get out of that cult you are following.

Garlic and onions are lilies, which are all grasses.

Baseball size?

The best Garlic is usually smaller than a golf ball.

Elephant garlic gets about baseball sized, but is weak on Alicin, which substance is the chief reason to eat garlic, and does require sulfur supplementation if you keep using the same patch.

Following “Christ” is following Torah in every way.

That was the whole point of John’s first epistle.

That is belief.

I noticed the lqt3st Red Lobster Crabfest is featuring “Southern King Crab”, which my research shows to be from the west coast of South America. Any opinions?

Nope, you are getting your history wrong. Zyklon was developed by Degesch (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Schädlingsbekämpfung) (Currently Detia-Degesch GmbH). They later sold it under the name Cyanosil.

Zyklon B was made in America by American Cyanamid, parts of which are now controlled by BASF, and other parts by Pfizer and Proctor and Gamble.

But I don’t see the Bayer links you assert.

When we lived near DeFuniak Springs, wild onions were common. They were tasty but it took a lot of them as they were around the diameter as a nickel.

If cows got into them, it would flavor the milk and make it undrinkable.

Read in the past, stay away for fish from Chili. Also frozen fish. Can be caught here but processed in China.

Garlic, canned mushrooms, peas, apple juice and some chicken also come from China,

Recently was told by a cardiologist only eat fish oil from Scandinavia. A lot of it is also comes from China and is high in mercury.

Chinese produce is also coming in via Italy and the Mediterranean.

Supposedly the EUSSR labeling requirements are not enforced for foods exported to the US so tomatoes, olive oil, and other “Italian” goods may not be what they are listed as.

I’ve read several articles on this in the past year.

IG Farben was a German chemical and pharmaceutical industry conglomerate. Its name is taken from Interessen-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie"

"IG Farben had bought the patent for the pesticide Zyklon B"....

The current main successor companies are AGFA, BASF, Bayer and Sanofi.

IG Farben was not a conglomerate in the American sense. It was a cartel of the German Chemical companies. It was put together in 1925 and broken back up into its component companies after the war.

Farben means dye (from farbe - color), and it was designed to remove competition in the dye and related chemical industries.

It grew out of the World War I collaboration of Hoechst, Cassella, BASF, Bayer, and Agfa. After the first war, the syndicate developed into Farben, with the other companies contributing their assets and taking shares in BASF. While ownership and senior policy making was consolidated at the Frankfurt headquarters (later the HQ for the US occupation forces) but operations remained decentralized. After WWII, the west Germans split out Hoechst and Bayer in 1951, BASF in 1952. (Agfa was initially part of Bayer after the split; then Bayer contributed it to get a half interest in Agfa Gevaert, then bought all of Agfa Gevaert back. And then sold all of Agfa Gevaert in two stages.)

So trying to associate Bayer with a product that neither came from or ended up with them borders on Fake News. You might as well pin it on the French since they have what is left of Cassella and Hoechst.
