Margarine - this is evil stuff...flies won't even land on it.

Antibacterial anything - big mistake

Hand sanitizer - just plain icky stuff used only in extreme emergencies...like after gathering 'not-fully-cured-yet' wild boar skulls and stuff like that and no where to actually wash your hands.

[I have two in the back of my truck right now...that are a lil stinky...so I have no fear of CYM stealing my truck!]

Overly cooked meat - particularly grilled overly cooked meat.

Fully cooked steak is just wrong no matter how you cook it.

I'm not scared of flu shots...they used killed virus...you CAN'T catch the flu from the vaccine. YOu just might feel a little 'off' from the anti-bodies kicking in gear...but I've not felt a darn thing in 3+ years other than a sore arm.

Well water - MUCH preferred over chlorinated city junk they call water.

Artifical sweeteners. Ick.

Ornament Exchange projects????

Gatorade. Kids are gulping this stuff likes it's air. Don't parents realize that it's basically cool-aid but worse. They just keep buying it for their kids, who never sweat. Artificial flavors, artificial colors, articial sugars, artifical salts (I may have made that up). It's a scourge. There is a wonderfully bad movie I think called 'Idiocracy' or something like that, based on an energy drink ruling the world. So true. If Gatorade isn't killing the next generation, it's definitely making them fatter and dumber.

Negative; the virus is not dead, only a weaker version.

I think my own immune system seems to have a pretty good handle on the flu (again, last time i had the flu i was 17), so i don't want to feel a little 'off' for no particular good reason.

Well, like Will Ferrell in Step-Brothers, "I'm pre-diabetic!" is what I plan to say if anyone ever tries to punch me.

Absolutely. "Gatorade - It's What Plants Crave!" or something like that was the slogan in Idiocracy, a fantastic movie.

Not to mention: soda pop. My jaw drops every time I see a toddler toting his or her own personal 12-oz serving of pop.

Luckily I don't have to verify my reasons in this thread, so I'll say soda pop discolors teeth and burns microscopic holes in them, burns away layers of stomach and intestine, spikes blood sugar and causes diabetes and obesity, and the caffeine and sugar changes kids' brain waves in permanent and undesirable ways (just look at me - I used to drink 3 cokes a day in high school!).

Deadly. Killers. But so is not taking them.

False. We are all made of stars.

CYM, if you're joking around, you're hysterical! If you're seriously this concerned, I bet you are a hoot to goof with.

Neutrinos emitted by the sun pass through space, through our atmosphere, through your roof, through your body, through the earth, through some Chinese dude's floor, through his body, through his roof, through the atmosphere again, and on into space. Earth doesn't even slow them down. I assume this is quite healthy for us. Or causing cancer.

My blood pressure spiked when I tried to read that article about antioxidants, and I had to close the page.

And goofing around with me is prohibited.

Chia seeds, my friend. I worry you're going to blow like a boiler.

Love Chia seeds. What are they good for my blood pressure or something?

A group of scientists smashing particles together will create a black hole that will destroy the earth. CERN/Large Hadron Collider.

Comply, don't forget the millions and millions of dust mites that are in your bed, crawling on you all night long, in and out of your ears and nose.

Not to mention all of the molecules of people who have lived and died that we breathe with each breath....

mmmmmmm, souls taste delicious

7 Good Reasons To Start Eating Chia Seeds

1.Help weight loss. Chia seeds are popular for weight loss. They reduce food cravings by preventing some of the food that you eat from getting absorbed into your system. This blockage of calorie absorption makes them a great diet helper.
2.Feel fuller faster: They can also help your diet by making you feel full. This is because they absorb 10 times their weight in water, forming a bulky gel.
3.Hydration for athletes: They are also great for athletes because the "chia gel" can hydrate the body.
4.Reduce your blood pressure: There's evidence to suggest they can reduce blood pressure.
5.Omega-3: They are the richest plant source of Omega-3 (the vital fats that protect against inflammation—such as arthritis—and heart disease). In fact, they contain more Omega-3 than salmon!
6.Benefits for diabetes: Because chia seeds slow down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrates into simple sugars, studies indicate they can control blood sugar. This leads scientists to believe chia seeds may have great benefits for diabetics.
7.They are easier to digest than flax seeds, and don't need to be ground up.

would one sprinkle them on a double bacon cheeseburger?

F'realz, yo!

I'm okay with that because somewhere in my body is a particle of Ceasar, a particle of Aristotle, a particle of Adam, etc. There's only so much to go around.
