Mornin all.
Rain in the night should have finished the snow melt on the Northside of the roof.
A third to half the ground exposed now.
Snow coming late night and morning maybe.
Winter is losing it's grip soon.
But has to flare some flair as usual on the way out.

I know right!? Yuck...kids making cookies without washing their hands, picking their noses.....eeeewwww...
Hey did you know bananas are radioactive? I'm not sure how many it requires to blow something up though.
Maybe they're the antidote for girl scout cookies! 😃

The whole thing is that here is a product that markets 200 million boxes. Every box contains cookies that has little bits of toxic elements.
The biggest question is WHY?

It's not the case of "Oh I won't die from eating a few cookies "

It's the accumulated amount of these elements in many products.

A little arsenic won't kill you today. 🤪

We always support the kids selling them outside of Sams Club by buying 2 boxes.

And then we support the girls selling them outside of Win-Dixie.... by buying 2 more. heh.

Think I just gave them a couple dollars last time.
Rarely see the girl or boy sprouts.
Have to go into more populated areas to do so.

Of course I asked an ambitious boy Scout that didn't have the instinct to avoid me to recite the scout law when they were ambushing potential prey at the farm store near the doors.

California has a handle on all that. 😁

Jokes aside though, many ingredients in food these days make no sense them being in them. Utterly pointless ingredients. You can pick up two packets of biscuits, same type say chic chip, both similar use by dates yet one will have an ingredient list that looks like a science lab shopping list and periodic table and the other just normal things you know. Now that's the head scratcher.
The other thing has been the over use and even unnecessary use of chemicals in agriculture. They have a life often of decades or more so show up in milk, eggs, cereals, grains, fruit, vegetables etc. Coming from the water sources, crops, animal feed. In the fish we catch, everywhere.
We live in a very toxic environment. Almost anything you buy will be contaminated and if tested show levels of something toxic or carcinogenic.
I keep checking but so far I don't glow in the dark yet....yet 😄

Read the book "Ultra Processed People" and it will make more sense. You and I would make those cookies out of flour, sugar, butter, chocolate chips, etc. But the commercial food producers don't do that. They use the most profitable (ie cheapest) ingredients, which will likely be low quality flour that is "enriched", probably high fructose corn syrup instead of sugar, probably some refined tasteless oil in place of butter, separated cocoa butter and cocoa instead of plain chocolate, etc. That lets them get the "perfect" proportions of all ingredients, at the most profitable price. But all that stuff doesn't necessarily have the same taste and feel as the "real" ingredients would, so they add artificial flavors to make it taste right, artificial colors to make it look right, emulsifiers and gums to make it feel right, and then of course stabilizers and preservatives so it will last forever on the shelf (because spoiled product is not profitable). The thing that amazes me about it is that they can do all that and it's cheaper than just using the real ingredients to start with. Ingredients do matter.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go bake some (real) cookies.
