LMAO@PF's pic!



I've tried it...and it's not my bag (<---old hippie statement), so I won't miss it. It's more of an aquired taste than scotch to me!

But...ummmmm...what's the dealio with folate? Why does anyone care about the source of where we get it? It's good for you...ain't it? What? Does the government think we're gonna OD on it or something???? I'm about tired of the big wigs telling me what I can and can't OD on!

Oops! Wait! That ^^^ came out wrong. But...you get my gist...yes?

folate, in the supplement form (aka folic acid) is possible to od on (i think) but it's part of the b vitamin family and they are all water soluble. ya just pee out the excess usually. od-ing on folate consumed in foods is practically unheard of.

and it *is* good for you! possibly prevents cancer, and it's especially good for women who are preggers cause so much of it is needed during rapid cell division plus it's been shown to reduce neural tube defects like spina bifida.

this ban is especially stupid cause just a few years ago, the fda *required* that it be added to grain products and it's naturally present in a whole slew of foods: bananas, oranges, berries, beans, nuts, and broccoli just to name a few.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

I know...I know! So why the ban then? I'm baffled over governmental priority!!

Oh Sweety! I just discovered grits (was a little gun shy...being from the north and all) and I'm diggin em with a pinch of salt and some butter! I don't like them sweet though. Some peeps round here eat them in the most peculiar ways...YUCK!

Anyway...if it ain't illegal to get em where you are...I'll be glad to send a pack (or 60) of instant or cookable...whichever you prefer! My treat...no strings attached!

PM me if this sounds like a yummy good idea! We have Quaker Instant variety packs around here. And...all the other varieties you can think of...I think. Keep in mind...I'm not southern and so I might not be privvy to what you are accustomed to. I'll give it a whirl though!

Apparently no-one in the FDA can say why or whether Vegemite is restricted. I suspect it was a security alert that was misconstrued.

Someone found out that if you add six ounces of Vegemite to a kilo of Torpex or plastique, you get about the yield of a kilo of Torpex or plastique. This is obviously too dangerous to leave in the hands of irresponsible Aussies.
