How can soda, with all that extra stuff in it, actually cost less than a bottle of water - when soda starts out with water? It makes you think doesn't it?
read on if you want... it is not a secret
Dear Senator Biden:
The news talks about you asking Donald Rumsfeld to step down which has to do with the Iraq situation.
I would like to call your attention to when Donald Rumsfeld was CEO of Searle, manufacturers of aspartame. For 16 years the FDA refused to approve it, not only because its not safe but because they wanted the company indicted for fraud. Both U.S. Prosecutors hired on with the defense team and the statute of limitations expired. They were Sam Skinner and William Conlon. Skinner went on to become Secretary of Transportation squelching the cries of the pilots who were now having seizures on this seizure triggering drug, aspartame, and then Chief of Staff under President Bush's father. Some of these people reach high places. Even Supreme Justice Clarence Thomas is a former Monsanto attorney. (Monsanto bought Searle in l985, and sold it a few years ago). When Ashcroft became Attorney General, Thompson from King and Spalding Attorneys (another former Monsanto attorney) became deputy under Ashcroft. (Attorneys for NutraSweet and Coke).
Are you a survivalost or something
- what would make you drink that!> LOL
(problem is I have never ever drank soda - or had a cavity) How did my son end up autistic?! (not a serious question - just following Zeds light post)
Anyhow, my point is, it's not the food/water supply--it's genetics.
Yes it is -genetic.
I am taking this thread to be poking fun of the absurdity - I mean I remember - butter is bad - eat margarine - now margarine is bad - sugar is bad have fake sugar - milk is bad - no, milk is good!
The food supply has to be looked at for the good of all people -it has nothing at all to do with the topic of aspergers - I guess this is hwy it is in the general - time out section...
Food does have to do with the topic of Aspergers.
Apart from chemical contaminants and genetically modified foods, soils are becoming depleted.
Many people on the spectrum have unusual eating habits ... some have pica, some will only eat white foods, some will only eat carbs, some will only eat food that has been cooked a certain way, some will not eat food that has touched other food on the plate, some will only eat cold food, some will not eat food that is mushy, some will not eat food that is stringy, some will only eat one or two foods just in case a new food is 'prickly' or 'burns'.
If inadequate nutrition is going in, then what comes out is going to be impacted to a greater or lesser degree.
So true. This was discussed at length in another thread - so I didn't get all technical here - (Just trying to have a light moment, or two!
) yes I am careful with my kids food/water nutrition, yes my aspie is particularly LOL particular with what he lets enter his body.. but in general we all need to make it more than what is good or not good for a minority - if the majority realizes they are being hurt - all the changes will trickle down and help the minority... The masses don't move - not really - until something affects them personally.
