So much for those healthy apples. Back to peeling everything.

Ugh! Seriously? And the list includes a lot more than apples - sweet potatoes, tomatoes, even peaches! Guess I'll join the rest of you with the peeler!

As the plant said as it began to crackle in Little Shop of Horrors - "oh s**t"!

No question about it, contamination is ubiquitous.

I just posted another depressing article, about contaminated quinoa.

Could be! I also used celery, and the MRT identified it as a problem )-;
All my stock goes to my friend, (who LOVES it when I give it to her!). As does a wonderful pot roast, cans of salmon, frozen wild salmon and so on. The have scored 100s of $s worth of food from me, especially when I was cleaning about gluten, and when all the chicken I had was moved their way.

Yesterday I was at Whole Foods. A man standing in line had a rotisserie chicken. The smell about drove me MAD!

I suspect that explains what happened at the Outback on my birthday. The only side I could have was apple slices.

I thought it said, "Feed me, Seymore!"

That was when it was growing, not when it was crackling into "supposed" oblivion.

I was trying to get some of the taste through my nose.

Count me in when carrying the "SOY IS EVIL" flag!

Z, thanks for the article. I wonder how often this is an issue. It makes me even more determined to eat organic as much as possible.

For years it has infuriated me to see waxed fruit/veggies, not to mention other artificial methods (pink slime). It also infuriates me to see oranges the size of bowling balls and potatoes that weigh one pound. We weren't meant to eat like this! No wonder one third of the population is obese and sick.

Here is a little soy "aside". For a long time I thought I couldn't tolerate eggs. I believe it was Tex who found out that some egg-producers actually coat the eggs with soy prior to selling them. MRT found that I could, in fact, eat eggs. I buy them only from a nearby farm where the hens are treated humanely and allowed to free-range. Nothing is coated on them. And I have no trouble with them.

Love,

Polly

I'm a HUGE believer in free range chicken eggs. I was getting them from my neighbor but they moved. Now I have to rely on another source and I can tell they are NOT as "free range" as my neighbor's were.... Difference in the color of the yolk, but they are still way above the supermarket type and I know they are uncoated and much fresher. Since I know they receive more "chickenfeed" than the ones before, the chickens probably are fed soy in their chickenfeed but sometimes the best you can do is keep it minimal.

Add me to the "soy is evil" membership.

Love, Shirley

MRT says I can eat eggs too. Does this mean if I get them from the farmer's market, where I KNOW they are freshly laid (at the most 2 days old) I can have them?

Remember that the Enterolab test results trump the MRT test results. In my case, both Enterolab and the MRT test (3.0) show eggs are off limits. I've tested farm eggs and they still bother me.

However, some people are able to eat eggs when they are used in baking even though they can't eat them alone. We've reasoned that there is a smaller portion of them that are ingested when they are an ingredient.

You can try them and see, of course. I react within a couple of hours.

Sigh. It seems so wasteful to cut off apple skins. I've been doing it to cut down on fiber, but now I have to think of contamination too. Grr.
