Thank you so much for your reply … was not really cranky just curious LOL thanks again, and you do a terrific job, especially for “part time”, keep up the good work.

Really hard to keep up with comments on top of listing updates and articles (this is very part-time for me).

Why is my original comment (above) still “awaiting moderation”? I don’t think I said anything offensive or even politically incorrect??? I used no profanity and I believe there were no prepositions ending a sentence or dangling participles employed. Just curious.

Several years ago there was a movie which depicted our nation as full of such stupid people to believe (as a nation) that some sport drink was good for everything from drinking to spraying on lawns and crops (instead of water) because it was advertised “It has electrolytes!) – – the movie was titled “Idiocracy” – – and I remember that I was so disgusted that I would not sit in my friends living room to continue watching it. She and her husband kept telling me it was “all in good fun, just a spoof! What harm can come of it??” and it haunts me still today as I watch the deterioration of an entire country’s ability to think.

There is a reason products like this gain popularity and replace real food (like raw milk, farm fresh free range eggs, NON-CAFO meats, etc) and it is not a simple reason. It is a complicated, complex issue with no single solution. However, I will say this, that in my opinion, the closest thing to a “single solution” just might be to pull the plug on government sticking it’s nose into our right to decide for ourselves what we want to eat. Government has no “business” dictating any aspect of our food choices.

“Land of the free and home of the brave”? LOL not in YEARS! and likely, (sadly) never again.
