I really don't understand the stigma you guys insist on attaching to organic things:shrug:
You act as if it's a BAD thing to remove pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, steroids, etc. from your food. :shrug: The level of ignorance about what we ingest on a daily basis is AMAZING. For example: Aspartame was developed as a biological weapon, and now it's an artificial sweetener:mj07: Shoved through the FDA by Rumsfeld cause it was his $$$$ maker. Look around at your fellow fat ass Americans dropping dead on a daily basis from Cancer, Heart Disease, etc. Yea, I'm sure all the processed bullshit we gorge ourselves with has nothing to do with that. Not to mention chemicals!
Just keep tuning your nose up at organic stuff IO.....you and most everyone else....just because you're too fkin lazy to do any research about what you stick in your body every day.
sorry coach
Maybe you eat the clothes you wear, but I don't. Reading is a skill. Guess you missed my point in this thread. No matter. You jumped at the chance to run on about your "research". That and a quarter won't get you a golfball. Gotta go now and die from cancer cuz the cotton in my underwear isn't organically grown like the more pretentious ball sacks of this country get to ride in. Though I'm sure your tender pair, if you still have them:s4: , could tell the "comfy" grade from an organic pair vs a non organic pair the minute you slide them on.:jerkit: Speaking of golf balls, please enlighten us as to the organic measures taken in the production of those BIODEGRADEABLE??? items.
Go ahead FDC and try to hide your ignorance and close mindedness on the subject in some mildly entertaining personal attack.
I know, you were kidding about the organic thing...and KOD isn't really a racist either![]()

Typical example. Friends come over and the Wife is making dinner. She whips up a huge meal....said friends eat EVERY single bite and rave and rave and rant how it's the greatest meal ever and she is the greatest cook on Earth. I mean they line up outside waiting for a bite.
8 hours later, after several beers, these same guys go clawing through my fridge with the munchies....and proclaim "I'm not eating this organic shit, don't you have anything NORMAL".
:00x10 :00x33
Do tell us more about the fine organic dinner you made.
Not a post I would expect from Agent.
Please ....
Do tell us more about the fine organic dinner you made. I'm fascinated and going to start on my research as soon as todays 13 hour day ends and my weekend begins.
I'm not sure I "get" your post. :shrug: :shrug:
I will say the similarities between you and FDC are pretty striking. Here you are trying to portray yourself as the hardest working guy in history, ala FDC, which has zero to do with the subject at hand, which you continue to harp on, yet know nothing about.
I still love ya bro, you're one of my favorites, always will be. You're far from the first person I have argued with about this.
just because you're too fkin lazy to do any research about what you stick in your body every day.

Developed as a biological weapon? By whom?For example: Aspartame was developed as a biological weapon, and now it's an artificial sweetener:mj07: Shoved through the FDA by Rumsfeld cause it was his $$$$ maker.

Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for G.D. Searle & Company. Schlatter had synthesized aspartame in the course of producing an anti-ulcer drug candidate. He discovered its sweet taste serendipitously when he licked his finger, which had accidentally become contaminated with aspartame.
Following initial safety testing, there was debate as to whether these tests had indicated that aspartame may cause cancer in rats; as a result, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did not approve its use as a food additive in the United States for many years. In 1980, the FDA convened a Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI) consisting of independent advisors charged with examining the purported relationship between aspartame and brain cancer[citation needed]. The PBOI concluded that aspartame does not cause brain damage, but it recommended against approving aspartame at that time, citing unanswered questions about cancer in laboratory rats. The Bressler Report compared all the available raw data and summary data against the manufacturer's FDA submission and found missing raw data, errors and discrepancies in available data, but FDA chose to ignore Bressler's report. At that point in time, there was no requirement in place in FDA regulations to include brain research in the approval process, only cancer research. Searle's Chief Operating Officer, Donald Rumsfeld, reapplied for FDA certification immediately after U.S. President Ronald Reagan took office. In 1981, Reagan appointed Arthur Hull Hayes as FDA commissioner. Citing data from a Japanese study that had not been available to the members of the PBOI, Hayes approved aspartame for use in dry goods. In 1983 FDA further approved aspartame for use in carbonated beverages, and for use in other beverages, baked goods, and confections in 1993. In 1996, the FDA removed all restrictions from aspartame allowing it to be used in all foods.
In 1985, Monsanto bought G.D. Searle?and the aspartame business became a separate Monsanto subsidiary, the NutraSweet Company. On May 25, 2000 Monsanto sold it to J.W. Childs Equity Partners II L.P. The U.S. patent on aspartame expired in 1992. Since then the company has faced hot competition in market for aspartame from other manufacturers, including Ajinomoto, Merisant and the Holland Sweetener Company, which stopped making the chemical in late 2006 because "global aspartame markets are facing structural oversupply, which has caused worldwide strong price erosion over the last 5 years" making the business "persistently unprofitable?.
Several European Union countries approved aspartame in the 1980s, with EU-wide approval in 1994. The European Commission Scientific Committee on Food reviewed subsequent safety studies and reaffirmed the approval in 2002. The European Food Safety Authority reported in 2006 that the previously established Adequate Daily Intake was appropriate, after reviewing yet another set of studies.
It has also been investigated and approved by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization and World Health Organization.
