Are you eating cement?

Have you ever heard of 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid? Probably not. Too bad you're eating it every day! This common food additive is found in all sorts of industrial products. It's used to clean circuit boards prior to soldering, and is added to cigarettes. 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid is used to make cement and to prevent coagulation in the slaughtering business.

Cement? Anti-coagulation? And it's in your food! I can't even imagine the havoc this TOXIN is wreaking in your body.

It maybe approved by the FDA, but you know we can't trust them since they're in league with Big Ag and Big Pharma.

Now that you're officially scared of this terrible, terrible chemical (and let's be honest, if it's in cement that means it IS cement), let me tell you everything you're eating that contains cement!

Orange Juice!
Apple Sauce!
Soda!
Stock cubes!
Ice cream!
Tomato Based Sauces!
Mayonnaise!

People you are eating cement every single day. How can our government allow this to continue? They're poisoning us. It's in everything! As we speak it is raging through your veins, making it so the next time you get a scratch your blood won't clot! 

This is cement! It's a chemical which means it's a toxin!

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

P.S. The common name for 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid is citric acid. 

PPS - Were you scared?

PPPS - I want to say that as a whole foods enthusiast, I am not a fan of preservatives. But as a chemist, I am also not a fan of these wholesale scare tactics about "chemicals" and "toxins."

Why I will never see "A Whole New World." The Aladdin Movie's hidden drug use agenda

Guys, all my friends say I'm looking way too much into this. But then one person finally said, "Yeah, maybe." So I know I'm not crazy and writing this blog to PROVE IT to you.

Aladdin was a big hit twenty years ago, and everyone loves the song "A Whole New World." Seeing things like this  movie just breaks my heart! It's obviously just propaganda. I mean really, a non-verbal autistic child just all of a sudden singing? So staged and planned by liberal heathens that are trying to get your kids to do drugs!

Now hear me out. Aladdin is a story that take place in The Middle East. As in, where they grow opium.

The video starts out with Aladdin being chased by Jafar's men. This is obviously a reference to the evil's of law enforcement cracking down on drug use, that isn't even hurting anybody.

Then Jafar is told to find a DIAMOND in the rough.  Diamonds? As in, White Diamonds? As in, METH!

And have you seen Jafar? He is sooooo skinny.  Obviously a drug user as well.

And don't even get me started on the genie. He is obviously a drug-induced hallucination!


Then Aladdin takes Jasmine on a magic carpet ride. As in Steppenwolf's magic carpet ride, which totally talks about using drugs and was probably written while on drugs!



Not to mention the fact that on the magic carpet ride, Aladdin and Jasmine get high (in the sky, but we all know that's just an analogy!)

And if all that doesn't convince you, then let me analyze the lyrics to "A Whole New World" for you, which is obviously referencing the hallucinations one has while under the influence. I will italicize the offensive drug references.

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole new world with you)Princess Jasmine: Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
(Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see

(Hold your breath, it gets better)

I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back
To where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise

With new horizons to pursue
Every moment gets better
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
That's where we'll be
A thrilling place
A wondrous place
For you and me

Parents, don't let the Aladdin's of the world steal away your Princess Jasmine's and turn them to the world of drug use! Blot this movie out of your collections! I don't care how much you like it or how good the music is!

And while we're at it, let's talk about the hidden agenda in FROZEN. 

Ice cutting as a profession? Really? So now we're telling our children to just plan on living in poverty and getting welfare? Shame on you, Disney! Shame. On. You.

Aging Happens

Look at this.

And this.

Yes folks. That is gray hair you see. Lots and lots of gray hairs. Too many to keep pulling out every morning. I guess it's time to face reality. I'm aging.

But I'm only 26!!

So is Miss Lively here. Think she has gray hair?

Gray hair is for old people. You know, like people in their fifties.

                                 

       

Er....maybe their sixties?

Okay, okay, seventy. Seventy is REALLY old, right?

Ah, Mick. Say it ain't so!

So after this very scientific study of what aging looks like, I have come to the conclusion that I'm allowed to do all the aging I want...once I hit seventy.

Which is why my gray hair is a problem. A genetic problem. Apparently my great grandma was completely silver by fifty.

That might have been okay back in her day, but I'm pretty sure I should just be entering my thirties at that point if Miss Williams up there is any indication.

So what's a girl to do?

I suppose I could just dye my hair for the next 44 years and then "surprise" everyone at my 70th birthday party.

Ta-da! It's gray! Been that color for the last 20 years! Suckers!

But, once I've been dying my hair a rich auburn for 45 years, I might as well take my secret to the grave, right?

The thing is, I swore off dye several years ago after it nearly destroyed my hair. 

So now I have to ask. Is aging really that bad? Will gray hair change who I am? Does it somehow make me less valuable as a person?

Maybe those gray hairs can be embraced. 

Yeah I'm going gray. You know what those gray hairs mean? 

I've lived. Really lived. I've birthed babies and moved around the country. I worried about a sudden job loss and rejoiced over blessings that came just in time. I've celebrated siblings' and friends' marriages. Mourned their children gone too soon. I've loved, connected, left, learned, and loved again.

If all of that living comes along with some (or a lot) of gray hair, so be it.
