I really do try to steer around the 'lite' stuff...I had some REAL juice last nite...mmm, nectar of the gods...Lil ol' me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05375131775477058146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16751830.post-33210950471193383762007-11-12T10:37:00.000-08:002007-11-12T10:37:00.000-08:00I remember being a shocked little teeny-bopper whe...I remember being a shocked little teeny-bopper when I was sitting in some restaurant somewhere and idly reading condiment labels while we waited for our meal- as I scanned the pink packets of pseudo-sugar, I was appalled to read 'shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals'. Ack!!! And people INTENTIONALLY eat this crap? Oh no.... so from that point on, I vowed to ingest nothing but full-flavor, to hell with the calories. (sort of ironic, really, considering I was filling my body full of plenty of other chemicals at the time... but that's another story, and I suppose we're all walking contradictions of one sort or another, huh?)<BR/>But yeah, that ticks me off, too- how the designers try to camoflauge(sp?) their alternates and it's all too easy to grab one of those by mistake.

I remember when 'cyclamates' were banned from usage in diet soft drinks...well, what's in liquid artificial sweeteners that you can still buy? Cyclamates, of course. I just hate the way product makers mask their product, and I hate it when I get stuck with chemicals rather than FOOD. Or chemically-laced food. Which those peaches are.<BR/><BR/>As far as the Monkees, sometimes I wonder if I should do a music-only blog, but then I think, the only way I can keep up posting like I do is to write about 'anything under the sun', with music things appearing once in a while, along with everything else.<BR/><BR/>On your blog, is a video of the smokestacks falling...well, down here, a huge smokestack that was part of an old lumber mill was 'felled' ('fallen'?) this year. Made me think of Uncle Bunker.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate your comments and visitations to mine humble blog.Lil ol' me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05375131775477058146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16751830.post-91128590218134205862007-11-10T08:50:00.000-08:002007-11-10T08:50:00.000-08:00IMHO, you can donate the splenda laced peaches to ...IMHO, you can donate the splenda laced peaches to a food bank or somewhere else with a clear conscience. I say this because I have family members who SWEAR by splenda and my guess is they are not alone.<BR/><BR/>Just my 2 cents.<BR/><BR/>Oh, btw, I was listening to XM <BR/>Radio Channel 40 last night and "I'm a Believer" came over the radio and I immediately thought of your fine blog post on the Monkees.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoy hearing the song and sure enjoyed what you had to say about the Monkees.raymond perthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016246118115516015noreply@blogger.com
