Do you Know what you are Consuming?

Phosphoric Acid is a chemical that is used as a chemical reagent, to remove rust, and in food processing. According to NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Phosphoric Acid has an 8 hour exposure limit of 1 mg/m3. Phosphoric Acid is also an ingredient in Dr. Pepper, and is listed on the back of the pretty red cans, as the 4th ingredient in the soda-pop. I am fairly certain that there is not en ought acid in the Dr. Pepper to cause any harm, or else they would not sell it as a beverage. It is interesting, none the less, that Phosphoric Acid is an ingredient, do you really know what you are eating?

The day was a good day, even though I woke up at 6:00 am, and was pretty tired all day. We went to church and then a dinner after church. When I returned home I worked on finishing the trim, and the paperwork around the house. It is simply amazing the amount of Paperwork that must be completed when owning your own home... Tonight I went to Allsups (headquartered in beautiful Clovis, NM) to get some chap stick and stinking chips (that is what Amy calls them). They are really Frito's "Chili Cheese" and they are wonderful. They stock them in the vending machine in our office building so I usually consume one or tow small bags per week.

It is time to get political...
John McCain has said on numerous occasions that the "Non-Binding Resolution" will do nothing more that Demoralize the troops and strengthen our enemies. Yet, when they voted on the non-binding resolution down, John McCain himself skipped the vote to campaign for his presidential efforts. One mush ask the question, if it is so imported to the troops why did he skip the voting?
