I know I open myself up here for ridicule and teasing. And that's okay. I can take it.
I have been accused of acting immaturely, of having a juvenile sense of humor, of lacking adult sensibilities, of being picky in my eating habits like a small child. And do I care? No. Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
I now know the reason.
Rocket fuel. CNN says, "Sufficient amounts of perchlorate can affect the thyroid, potentially causing delayed development and other problems."
Perchlorate? Is that a fancy word for "freon from the basement refrigerator"?????
Or maybe it has to do with getting electrocuted for the umpteenth time next to the pool???
Or does it have to do with a high level of Starbucks intake????
Maybe I should read the article...
;)

Besides, as long as you stay away from lettuce and milk, you should be fine. Hopefully.
I saw this article and all I could think of was the extra money I've spent over the last 10 (or so) years so that the boys could have milk with no hormones or antibiotics- just to find out now they were probably drinking rocket fuel.
That might explain the teenagers.... ;-p
