How Shellac is made

Then there is diatomaceous earth.

A possible 'problem' with home grown food is one does not know what form of wild life visited the plot and what they do there.

Also, birds do multitask while flying.(just ask yer car).

Commercially grown food has those same problems plus all the poisonous chemicals they use to produce it.

Yes I guess they do. What "poisonous chemicals" are used? We have the safest food in the world. Commercial food is probably cleaned and washed more thoroughly than most households do.

John, ALL "chemicals" are poisonous, in the wrong amounts.

DHMO, is a VERY poisonous "chemical." But, without it,
life would cease to exist. (Look up DHMO.org.)

Oxygen, in too high of a concentration, is also poisonous.

John, I apologize for stealing/hijacking the thread, but this was brought up. I do not like myths and I do not have any faith in Wikipedia as it is agenda driven.

These posts are from places where my family has worked or is working. When I asked them about shellac in food, they looked at me in total amazement. So, these posts are to show that shellac is NOT used in these foods, maybe others. Anyway, each to his own.

Steve, the old swampgator

Well, I took that as a given. Silly me. I can wash my fruit with chlorinated water from the tap but I can't take a swig out of a Clorox bottle.

Presumably the "poisonous" chemicals applied to commercial food are done so at levels that are not harmful. That is one of the reasons we have the FDA is it not?

I guess if we are to believe all the things that DHMO is responsible for we all may as well just throw in the towel, crawl in a hole and wait to die. That is a laundry list from Hell. Did they leave ANYTHING off of the list? Please tell me you don't believe all that crap, please. Good lord!

But, good news, at 69 I feel great and am looking forward to the sun coming up tomorrow despite all the negativism in the world today.

Now read the truth.

John, (and the rest of you) you GOT it!

Funny thing, all the "claims" made in the
DHMO page, are correct! (Even the one
that says that 100% of mass murderers have
consumed DHMO, in the 48 hours before ALL
their violences being committed.) It is also
the MAJOR component in acid rain, as well
as causing MASSIVE crop destruction!

I only posted it as a contrast to "bad" chemicals.
(Yuck, that has "chemicals" in it!)

Sorry, EVERYTHING has "chemicals" in it!

I worked at the largest coal/fossil fuel Power Plant East of the Mississippi from 74 till 94, back then acid rain was a Jimmy Carter thing, fly ash which is very acidic, but there was none with the air/pollution standards that where put into place I think in 66ish. We had electrode precipitators that took it all out of the flew gasses b4 going out the stacks. Like Global Warming, hoax or fact??

Document that please. FBI stats, National Crime Statistics ect???

Lover, since DHMO is WATER, do I actually
need to document this? (Oh, that is why I
used 48 hours, since in 48 hours EVERYONE
drinks something, and water is a major
component of what they drink.)

Water, Great movie, Dr Strange Love,
Do you remember what Col Jack Ripper said to his executive officer, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake? "Drink water? It is Fluorided, a Commie plot, not me, I only drink pure grain alcohol"
Me too!!! Ever Clear
