The Food Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Haha found that abomination on the internet.

I would replace the bologna with spam though to make it even more disgusting, and maybe even add some ketchup to it to give it a little hint of sweetness to offset the saltiness of the spam. Perfect!

I only eat seafood when dangerously drunk; after being in the Navy and knowing how much trash is dumped into the oceans on a daily basis from hundreds of ships, I just can't do it anymore.

If you're willing to eat an oyster, a lobster, a shrimp, or a crawfish at all - which I am, by the dozens - you're pretty much willing to eat whatever was dumped on them.

Yeah, most folks don't like bad news, and this would also tend to collide with the corporate profit motive in a way they'd rather not be publicized. Maybe in the future soft drinks will be banned from tv ads like cigarettes were. Hell, I remember when movies and tv shows typically showed the actors smoking as regular normal behavior. Even Andy Griffith smoked in his sheriff uniform but I never saw Barney smoke. I saw him drink moonshine once, though.

I was just thinking about this and wanted to share with you all, in case you've made something similar.

Anyway, I'm sitting here listenin to Foghat I think. Maybe Creedance is on now. That's not important though, well it sort of is. Anyway I came up with this recipe sitting here and I wanted to share. I haven't tested it yet, but I will sometime.

1) Hot Dogs
2) Mexican cheese
3) Lettuce
4) Onions or mushrooms.
5) Tortillos

Quesadilla-dogs I call them.

Enjoy!

So you take a flour tortillo (which is going to turn this thing into a wrap), exchange the hot dog for a brat, add cheese, lettuce, mushrooms and grilled onions, slather generously with brown mustard - yum! Chase it down with a good stout.

they are great little cleaning systems

and where does your water come from


In a
number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if
we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have
absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found
in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of
poop.

However,
we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum,
whiskey or other liquors) because alcohol has to go through a purification
process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.


Remember:
Water = Poop, Wine = Health


Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water
and be full of shit.

yes - simply requiring transportation and industry to pay for the costs they dump on taxpayers would be enough to bring industry and jobs back home; along with local knowledge of production and quality would increase

Fish caught in Lake Winnipeg half an hour north of here is sold on local store shelves - as a "product of China." It's shipped there, processed, and shipped back.

Agreed.

Keep in mind that there's another motive in place:

There was a common saying a decade or so ago that no two countries with McDonalds restaurants had ever been at war with each other. The reason being that once they had an economy that could support McDonalds franchises, the effects on the local economy made launching wars unthinkable.

And so instead of the decades-long cost of a Cold War with China - complete with US/Soviet style Mutual Assured Destruction - the US opened trade in a big way. Not only did China modernize, but it became so dependent on exports to the US that attacking the US would destroy its own economy. And in turn probably lead to the overthrow of its own government. Heck, China even subsidizes US debt so that the US can continue to buy Chinese goods and labor.

Of course this was supposed to be balanced by needing less defence spending. But Halliburton and the rest had other plans and a lot of bribe lobbying money. And former Halliburton CEO (and still stock holder) Cheney was installed in the White House to start a different war.
