Well I use canned tomatoes regularly.

I am going to die ... eventually.

Guess I'm dying too. I eat everything except #s 5 and 6!

Oh, I don't believe it for a second. I've read and heard, more often than not, that canned tomatoes are better for you than fresh. Has something to do with the processing.

Apples? Wow, guess the old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor aways" is also false.

I eat all those things as well except the milk with artificial hormones...I don't think they even sell it out here. Everything is grass fed, organic..healthy dairy products. The farmers pride themselves on it.

Just another article to confuse us.

I don't make microwave popcorn because I think it tastes wretched. I do pop it in brown paper bag, however.

I've been steering away from farmed salmon and seafood from China in general because of the stuff I learned about at that sustainable seafood lecture in DC earlier this year.

But, canned tomatoes use them a lot. And non-organic taters and apples. I'm doomed with rest of you

Guess I'm doomed too for I eat all execpt #5 and #6. When I eat any seafood, it's wild caught.

Of course most of the seafood we eat out here is 'wild' but every so often we have 'farm' raised, but they are from here in the PNW, not out of the country.

Well, I guess I might as well go out to the back yard and lay down right now. ;-)
