Food Update:


A little bit more about the use of Ammonia in our food supply. This is a link to an article from the International Business Times. The gist of it is:


"Ammonia's not an unusual product to find added to food," Acuff said. "We use ammonia in all kinds of foods in the food industry."

And another very good article in the Sioux City Journal about the dangers of another nasty sounding food additive, dihydrogen oxide

In the interest of fairness here's a link to a column from Gregg McBride an "Author, screenwriter and blogger" from the Huffington Post.  Mr. McBride objects to the Governors of Iowa, Texas and Kansas for supporting the use of the product. His  argument seems to be that "Pink Slime" should be banned simply because it's gross.
