LIGHTSIDE
Dinner Blessings
The housewife invited 2 couple and their children for dinner one night. As they get ready to eat, the housewife asks her son, "Would you like to say blessings"? "I don't know what to say", the boy replies.
"Just say what you hear what your mother says", replied the mother.

The boy bowed his head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite two 2 couples and their kids for dinner"?

A priest dies and is in line at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter asked the guy ahead of him his name. The guy replies, "I am Sam Horton, taxi driver from New York." Saint Pater gives him a silken robe and golden staff and said, "Enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

Now it's the priest's turn. He booms out " I am the Right Reverend Anderson." Saint Peter gives him a cotton robe and a wooden staff, and says to the Priest, "Enter the Kingdom of Heaven." Taken back the priest asks, " That man was a taxi driver why does he get a silken robe and golden staff".

"Results," Said Saint Peter. "While you preached, people slept.
When the taxi driver drove, people prayed.

To freshen up a smelly drain, just pour a cup of Baking Soda into it, and flush with Hot Water.

Blocked Drains?
Instead of using caustic products (be green and save money) for clearing blocked drains, throw a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a few jugs of water.

Peanut Butter Product Recalls

The outbreak of salmonella illness, which began in late summer and is ongoing, has been linked to eight deaths, including two in Virginia. In all, about 500 people in 43 states and Canada have become ill. About 22 percent were hospitalized, and about half of those affected are children.

Health officials said they would work with companies supplied by Peanut Corporation of America to continually update a recall list that is available on the FDA's Web site. The Web site details a long list of popular products that are affected, including candies, cookies, snack bars and snack mixes.

Information current as of 12 PM January 21, 2009
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/peanutbutterrecall/index.cfm

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced a recall yesterday of nine varieties of snack bars amid fears they may be contaminated with tainted peanut butter or peanut paste.

The affected products include snack bars from popular brands Clif, Larabar, Nature's Path Organic and Hebert's Fully Loaded.

"With the size of this recall, in terms of volume of peanut butter, we may certainly expect more recalls in this country," said Garfield Balsom, food safety and recall specialist at the CFIA. "We will certainly be notifying the consumers."

NEXT HEALTH CRISIS?

The past decade witnessed the massive off shoring of jobs to low-cost countries, decimating the U.S.A. and Canada manufacturing base. Cheap food may bring the next health crisis.

Ice Cream. Yogurt. Crackers and biscuits. Egg and products containing powdered eggs. Cake. Powdered and condensed milk, pet food, pie, cereal plus other food products.

You probably consumed some of these products. Did you know where they came from? You may have thought these products were produced in the USA or Canada. You would not know that some of these products came from china, and yes, China imports them into Canada and the USA.

These foods of Chinese origin have been found by authorities in the United States, Canada, Australia, to contain an industrial chemical called melamine that is used to make plastic. In recent weeks, the Chinese government has admitted that adding melamine to food - which raises protein levels, making poor-quality products look more nutritious - is common practice in China. Melamine can cause kidney stones and kidney failure when eaten. It has already sent about 54,000 Chinese consumers to the hospital and caused the deaths of at least four infants.

BUY LOCAL

Where possible we should buy locally grown foods. As a rule your food is fresher, better flavour, picked within a day of your purchase. Local produce more likely has a higher nutrient content than store-bought produce that has spent time on a transport truck and warehouse. Further farmers who sell directly to local customers receive the full value for their product, can sell cheaper, as there is less cost to processing, transportation, packing, warehouse etc.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING
If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate many fatal road accidents are caused by drunk drivers.

If you're having a party, provide food with drinks. Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.

2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a 075 reading. One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2 bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after drinking has stopped is 015. A 200-pound person, after 1 drink produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big
difference due to weight.
