Did you see where a bunch of ice cream was recalled because it had plastic particles in it? It's a shame, because it was the most spreadable ice cream ever made

OK, that's the third time you've accused me of copying from Wikipedia. Prove it or STFU. Also, "my meal delivery friend...lol...," are you that f'ing stupid that you think you can square up like that with the Forum Administrator and not get smacked back?

I anxiously await her proof that plastic particles are added to margarine to make it more spreadable. Especially since, like, you know, plastic isn't an approved food additive in any country on the planet, and, in fact, if plastic is found to be in a food product, that food product is recalled.

The Left Wing Essay Site? No. I spent 26 years in the foodservice industry beginning as a chef in a French kitchen for many years, then in restaurant management, R&D, and Food Handling Safety. In those capacities, one tends to learn a few things, even before Wikipedia. Not in the context of my...

Well... no, margarine doesn't contain small particles of plastic. Butter in the US is at least 80% fat, about 18% water, and 1-2% milk solids. Higher quality butter, like European and Irish butter is 82% fat, making it creamier and more spreadable. Amish butter, by the way, is 84% fat...

All diet styles work. Forks, Paleo, Atkins, South Beach, Mediterranean,Grapefruit, Volumetrics, they all work. Some come with outrageous claims based on junk science, or simply blind faith. Trying to turn a species of omnivores into strictly herbivores, and then justifying it with with...

Forks Over Knives is, chiefly, religious dogma. Just something to keep in mind.

That's a good question. 75% of adults in the world cannot drink milk, because they are lactose intolerant.

But what? Corn is a plant, with or without the quotes. If you want a discussion on whether or not corn, soy, and other energy-dense grains should fed to cattle just prior to sale and slaughtering to fatten them up and increase carcass size, that's probably best for another thread. I will...

Cows eat plants, so they're plant based. And fries are plants to begin with. :D

Little bit.

Nothing worse than getting a prostate exam, then the doctor leaves the room and the nurse comes in and asks, "Who was that?"

I think 80 is the oldest I've run across, as well.

There are a lot of drivers out here who have CPAP machines. I wouldn't imagine that it would hurt your future in the industry, considering the apparent goal of the sleep specialists on the Medical Review Board is to have a CPAP machine in every cab. <snort>

I didn't make any resolutions. I learnt that a long time ago. I only had a wish for the New Year, that being... that everyone everywhere get exactly what they deserve.

I hear they're quite painful. What did they do for (to) you for it?
