I will be cooking my hash browns tomorrow in Extra Virgin olive Oil! Preferably unfiltered!

Maybe, I don't know anything about that, but there are many other things organisms need fat for. Insulation, energy storage, and padding to protect organs are popular ones, but fats are also very important for cell structures. All cell membranes are mostly fat - lipid bilayers to be exact.

Ok, so I worked with this fella who's family owned a lot of farmland out in the vast Midwest. McDonald's raised corporate cows on the land leased from these folks. This guy swore up and down that these were some majorly doped up animals. The "company" people came around every so often and gave them a few "vitamins", after which the cows would do normal things like ram the electric fences and stare into the distance twitching. :lol: Its an interesting story.

And yeah, the Big Mac is not so big anymore.

Maybe they need to put the "vitamins" in the burgers! They have a verison of the big mac here in Australia called the son of mac. Considering how small a big mac is these days, the son of mac makes a cheese burger look big:huh:

Man, I just spent like 2 hours on that site. I was really interested in the "Pomegranate and Blueberry Juice Consumer Shopping Guide" I'm definetly going to get some of this "miracle juice" tomorrow. Great link, you have just contributed to a healthier me. I am going to pass this info to my Uncle also, he unfortunately is a Diabetic.
I just read this article in disgust though http://www.newstarget.com/022137.html
It's a damn shame stuff like this goes on. Maybe if they would put more money into natural healthcare options people like my Brother and Grandmother could have been saved.

You got more chance of dieing from a Big Mac than Gordon Brown giving you a big sloppy kiss on the lips.

Not according to the movie Super Size It! Apparently the guy and chick that eats about 4 to 6 Big Macs a day has low cholesterol, low blood pressure, no sign of heart disease - he is perfectly healthy!

What you will learn from that movie - Don't Eat the Fries!

Don't worry! This is why cooking was invented! People were getting sick of getting sick off raw meat! :know:

That's why BBQ's were created, so men could cook meat, drink beer and have a reason to tell made up fishing/hunting stories.:up:
