Even the AI bots agree that the ‘recommended’ limit for Sodium (salt) is FAR TOO LOW, and results in people dying at a younger age than the proper amount (roughly 50% more).

The question now is whether the IDIOTS being told to eat next to NO SALT will believe the IDIOTS telling them to do just that.

My guess is that they will - since otherwise they’d be stuck believing us FReepers.

“We want to ensure the good people of the U.K. ...”


“ensure”? Don’t they mean “assure”?

Want some whiskey in your water?
Or sugar in your tea?
What’s all these crazy questions you’re asking me?

At 17,000 feet of elevation one valley West of Mt. Everest, the Sherpa of Na brewed tea from bricks of packed leaves and seasoned with copious yak butter and salt.

Ensure, Assure, Insure.

They’re interchangeable, right?

They were trying to boost the protein shake export market via subliminal messaging.

Met Jimmy Greenspoon (RIP) after one of their local concerts

About 40 years ago

Got to shake hands with Cory Wells (RIP) during the show

Danny Hutton was still touring last year

Today I added a tablespoon of raspberry jam to my mug of hot tea. Heavenly!

Better than extra virgin olive oil to your coffee like Starbucks is doing these days.

I used to love dunking saltine crackers into my tea (with milk and sugar). Comfort food from my childhood.

Can’t say I’ve ever had scum on my tea. Ick. Where are they getting scummy tea and would they ingest it?

Makes sense to me, although I don’t drink much hot tea, I do put a pinch of salt in my coffee. Serves to take out bitterness. I just today started using a mix of “Lo” and himalayan salt. The lo is part potassium.

I wonder if this applies to iced tea. The trick there is to let it cool down before pouring it over ice. Also, use better black teas.

“Add a squeeze of lemon juice to help clear up the “scum” that can occasionally form on the surface of tea when the chemicals in tea interact with the water.”

I like to go slumming when I drink my tea and hang out with scum.
