But now for the good part! In the summer they started making tomato paste. Tomato's were totally different. They had to be floated in. We'd fill the truck with water and down a metal canal they'd go to the grading tables were the ladies were supposed to throw out the bad ones and whatever trash came through. A few times anight you'd hear screaming and it was graders running because a snake or rat or??? came through and they weren't touching it. So the snake, rat or whatever when down in the chop...

One problem with Teflon coated products is that we can't always see the scratches on the skillet or pan and pieces might be getting into our food. There have been whistleblowers from big companies like DuPont who have come forward with reports stating that it is a health hazzard, but it's still on the market. Here's a link you might be interested in reading. I hope everyone reads this. I mean, why give a company 5 years to lower the amount of carcinogens in a product? I kno... [ More ]

Thanks, TC. Yes, I saw the thread. I'm aware of Patulin in apple juice, but haven't heard that come up in many years either. It's from a type of mold.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. Much of the juice in the refrigerated section has been pasteurized as well. Look at the time I wrote this. This is what happens when you take cough syrup, which is why I didn't buy any for 2 weeks until today. It worked instantly and I felt like singing. No more stuffy nose and I can breathe again! But then I got violently sick to my stomach and didn't have the strength to drive to Walgreen's for some Pepto. I'm still quite weak and shaky. On the other hand, maybe that meatloaf dinner with green beans my neighbor brought over at 8:00 was full of toxins. LOL Am I getting paranoid or what?... [ More ]
