Is This The End Of Tupperware Parties?

While the agents provocateurs of the fifth column mainstream media have been busy feeding us red meat in the form of the sainted Trayvon Martin and the demonized George Zimmerman, the FDA, USDA and the EPA have been setting up an all-new round of scares which will prevent us from eating or storing any red meat they do not approve of. Science be damned, along with facts.

Things that we’ve long lived with and taken for granted, or weren’t even aware of are on the federal chopping block. The two items I have specifically in mind are Tupperware and [the newly-created epithet of] “pink slime.” The reason we took no notice of either was that nobody was harmed, nobody is being harmed, and nobody would ever be harmed by either product. But Nanny knows best, we must get hysterical, and the mainstream media must push the horror of it all.

First, Tupperware (along with dozens of other food container and disposal products you all have in your homes) has intentionally led us into storing our precious arugula and sprouts in containers loaded with bisphenol A (BPA). Omigod, BPA in all my storage items! This is on a par with saccharine and silicon breast implant carcinogens potentially causing the death of millions of innocents (do you even remember them?).

Never mind that the European Food Safety Authority (the ultimate hysterical nanny), the Japanese Food Safety Agency, the World Health Organization, and yes, the FDA have all found the levels of BPA in every current product to be completely safe. The FDA made that determination as recently as 2010. But using the insanely unrealistic high standards of the European Food Safety Agency, the pro-regulation bureaucrats have gone ten times worse and are now reviewing the leaching of BPA into our stored food.

The regulators have focused on the fact that they have “suddenly discovered” that leaching effect. From what they say, they were unaware that BPA was leaching into our food via pretty colored containers. And that must be stopped, immediately. However, the Europeans, the Japanese, and earlier FDA agents were all fully aware of the leaching. And they determined that the minuscule leaching of BPA is about as dangerous as a pinhead-sized drop of water leaching into your stored macaroni and cheese.

Interestingly, the papers coming out from the FDA and the National Resources Defense Council (a left wing, anti-oil chemicals group) have joined together to damn the danger of BPA. And it isn’t just Tupperware and their competitors. Almost all the food you buy in cans is protected from the metals of the cans themselves by internal liners containing BPA, and has been for over half a century without a single reported case of cancer resulting from it. You might be misled into thinking that the hysterics are just erring on the side of caution--that it’s a matter of how much BPA is leaching. Well, there’s a small problem with that. No matter what amount is leaching, it doesn’t much matter. The human body does not store or use BPA. It merely metabolizes it and excretes it.

Like saccharine and silicon implants before it, BPA is only dangerous if administered in daily doses 1,000 times greater than is possible to enter the human body in an entire lifetime. But the mainstream media have been stirring this pot for some time now. Ecoweenies and Nervous Nellies have been warning about the dangers of BPA in editorials and “your health” columns for years. With absolutely no scientific reason to do so, they advance their agenda by advising people to use glass and metal containers. Underneath lies the war against petroleum products. But here’s the clinker, 90% of plastic containers such as Tupperware are products of natural gas refining, not oil refining.

The NRDC has been handing horror stories to the mainstream media for years. And the mainstream has obligingly reported the stories as scientific truth. Most recently, the NRDC caused a panic for apple consumers and apple product manufacturers because apples were being treated with ripening agent called Alar. CBS’s 60 Minutes went so far as to start a story about Alar by showing an apple with a skull and crossbones superimposed on the image.

The “exposé” caused serious damage to the apple industry back in 1991 and 1992 from which it has not yet fully recovered. What the mainstream media didn’t do was to print or broadcast articles which scientifically proved that animal tests on Alar were analogous to drinking daily, for life, 19,000 quarts of juice made from Alar-treated apples. That result was similar to the much-earlier version of the dangers of saccharine. Now it’s the turn of BPA.

Up next—pink slime. What is this horrific chemical that they are killing us with? How dare the manufacturers poison us with deadly chemicals manufactured solely to make beef products look better? It’s called LFTB, and for years the USDA had negligently allowed its use, most often in ground beef. The only problem with the dangers of this dangerous chemical is that it is neither dangerous nor a chemical. LFTB simply stands for “lean finely textured beef.”

The only ingredient in this “beef additive” is, well, beef. Simply put, most home cooks trim their beef, but always end up throwing away perfectly good beef because it’s not worth the effort to cut around all the smaller fat globules. For the sake of efficiency and with the ability to do so, big beef product manufacturers use the pieces that the home cook would throw away. It quickly adds up to a lot of additional beef product. They simply use huge machines to pound, cut, mash, and refine the pieces into a product that can stretch the consumer’s beef dollar.

The end-product of this refining is a jelly-like beef substance that is easily added to already-ground beef. It’s very pink, and it could be described as slimy, though not after it has been added to the other beef product to stretch that product and give it a healthy reddish glow. Naturally, the bureaucrats and food-hysterics have decided that such a thing is unsafe for human consumption. In other words, more junk science. But if they called it a healthy beef additive, nobody would panic. So they named it “pink slime” in order to advance their bureaucratic agenda. What reasonable person would want to ingest pink slime?

So what does the scare actually mean, and what are the results? It means that a perfectly safe and 100% natural product has been demonized for no reason other than the personal whims of the food fascists. The result is that the beef industry will have to grow up to 1.5 million additional methane-producing cows each year to pick up the slack caused by throwing away a perfectly good product. The other result, of course, is higher beef prices. But Michelle Obama doesn’t care about that, does she? And besides, once the EPA discovers the additional deadly methane in the atmosphere, it can ban beef entirely (which is probably the real goal of about half of the vegetarian/vegan manufacturers of this phony scare in the first place).

So, my advice to all our readers is to beware of dangerous Tupperware and deadly beef additives. And most important of all, do not, I repeat DO NOT store unused ground beef containing pink slime in a Tupperware container. This could cause your painful death in as little as 1,000 years or so.

On a more serious note--today is Palm Sunday. This is the day on which Christians worldwide celebrate the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem, fulfilling one of the Biblical prophecies. "And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, Hosanna to the son of David; blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest." Matthew 21:8,9
