So yes, large companies are still curing for that long, and much longer depending on the product.<br /><br />What I find amusing is that people believe nitrite from celery powder is "safer" than that which is produced in a lab. It is chemically the same material, used for thousands of years to assist with curing meats. Some companies are just banking on the labelling loophole of celery powder or the like to avoid having to list "sodium nitrite" as an ingredient.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644139556483895991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934615983657111584.post-25753996545556781942013-07-25T11:57:21.940-04:002013-07-25T11:57:21.940-04:00so true, but there are a few substitutes i do eatso true, but there are a few substitutes i do eatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934615983657111584.post-29091671760518722662013-06-12T12:26:16.312-04:002013-06-12T12:26:16.312-04:00This title is evocative.

One quicky from our most recent hospital visit (we basically have a room continually reserved with our name on it, five kids...) had me commenting many times how horrible our insurance was because we have to buy it ourselves so the nurse and the doctor said they'd work with the codes they put down to make sure we get a better deal...and they did, and we did (first time this happened in our favor, HALLELUJAH!).JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580135241152004210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934615983657111584.post-71463143007558873602013-02-27T16:05:42.827-05:002013-02-27T16:05:42.827-05:00I wanted to rate "funny" because it is f...I wanted to rate "funny" because it is funny. The post is well written and highlights how silly the whole system is. But the system is so sad, I can't choose "funny" or even "cool." Keep writing! Nice summary and makes me want to follow the written journey you lay out on the issue of health care.

Rather, mobility/access, job creation, business growth and general connectedness are the more heavily emphasized arguments for mass transit. Morris has interesting theories, but they are so narrowly focused as to be misleading in terms of the overall value of mass transit. GO MASS TRANSIT! heh.

I've learned to do that with prescriptions now (we pay %100 of our prescriptions!) and discovered that CVS charges $60.00 for the exact, (and I mean EXACT) same drug that Kroger and our local independent village pharmacy sell for $6.00 (YES...SIX DOLL-HAIRS!). As a consumer, I desperately wold like it to be easier to now how much I'm going to be charged for a service BEFORE I have the service and that is nearly impossible! On the "glass-half-full" side, one boy picked a red cast and two weeks later with the second broken arm a green cast was chosen...we're all set for this year's Christmas card!JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580135241152004210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934615983657111584.post-78893956332752672132012-09-12T11:16:57.625-04:002012-09-12T11:16:57.625-04:00No way I could do all that in that space of an hou...No way I could do all that in that space of an hour.

I realize that this is a zmo journal, and as such, it may not be the appropriate forum for products that you do not sell. However, I find this argument unpersuasive, for largely selfish reasons. Also, food and drink go together right?
