Let's have mechanically separated chicken for dinner tonight.

Chemicals are not healthy - they offset a careful balance that is the result of millions of years of evolution.

[KrazyHorse]

are funny and boris caricaturing themselves, or are they being serious?

This is why I never take drugs or get vaccinations.

[loinburger]

It's true that millions of years of evolution would ordinarily result in me dying from smallpox or measles or pnumonia etc., but I'm content with offsetting nature's careful balance in this case.

[Felch]

Do you also drink a glass of bleach every morning with your cereal?

You realize tap water has chlorine in it, right? That's why it's not green.

[Lorizael]

You're missing the point, Felch. The only chemicals that are dangerous are those we learned about recently.

[Felch]

Oh, that's right.

[DaShi]

Old chemicals aren't dangerous anymore thanks to constant exposure. It's like the Japanese and radiation now.

[loinburger]

Chlorine in the drinking water? I believe you mean "chemical weapons in the drinking water."

No, there's a correlation between lower rates of chronical diseases and cancers and not eating processed foods.

[Fake Boris]

This is why I never take drugs or get vaccinations.

It's a question of quantity and frequency. DUH.

You moron, the point is to reduce chemicals use AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and use them WHEN CLEARLY NEEDED.

[Fake Boris]

I'm glad to see 15 yo intellectual level here: You don't like chemicals, why don't you live like a caveman LOLOLOLOMG

[Lorizael]

Which, btw, is exactly what I said earlier in the thread.

Toxicity is defined by quantity.

If the quantity of "floor cleaners" in our food is below a particular threshold, then it is not dangerous. If that floor cleaner can provide some benefit to the food and remain below that dangerous threshold, then there is nothing wrong with putting it in food.

There is nothing wrong with chemicals. Any molecule made up of more than one kind of atom is a chemical, so that includes water, salt, and that alcohol stuff you people seem to love so much. These chemicals, by themselves, do not throw off the careful balance of nature. In excessive quantities, however, even water, salt, and especially alcohol can have deleterious effects.

[Fake Boris]

1. The threshold for toxicity is lower than most people would think.
2. Human created chemicals are in a completely different ballpark. They're clearly not the same.
