Something there always smells so bad that I cannot stand to be in the place. Heck, there is a pho restaurant in Reno I won't enter merely because its next door to Subway and I can still smell whatever it is there. And lest you think its just me being crazy, I've engaged in a number of conversations about just this issue, and if its crazy then there are a lot of us out there. So if by some chance this Azodicarbonamide stuff causes the bad smell, then I'm all for getting rid of it. Unfortunately, the general consensus is that its the onions....just something about how the onion smell lingers around when they've been pre-sliced. And onions, of course, are perfectly "natural". So I guess no Subway for me. And as for "food babe": I've never read her blog, but if she attacked beer, well, consider the source:-)Janet C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-31064077052828209882014-02-18T10:02:57.113-08:002014-02-18T10:02:57.113-08:00Also, after just a cursory scan of her reader comm...Also, after just a cursory scan of her reader comments, it's literally staggering to see how many people are perfectly happy to give away all their powers of critical thinking. <br /><br />I feel like we should make <a href="http://casualkitchen.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-cure-for-worry-porn.html" rel="nofollow">my Worry Porn post</a> compulsory reading before you can enter her site. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-6234627620363863792014-02-18T09:23:27.875-08:002014-02-18T09:23:27.875-08:00This sort of fear-mongering makes me sad.

But only a couple.<br />Anything else I express an opinion on, should not be taken as gold. <br /><br />I can't imagine why anyone would read anything on any blog and assume that it is 100% reliably true (though I know millions of people do). It's too easy to fact-check these things. That people are too lazy to fact-check makes me sad.<br /><br />If a soi-disant food writer has no education in commercial food production, and no ability to comprehend research published by those who have, why should I take her seriously?<br /><br />Glad I haven't wasted any time reading that one.chacha1http://www.ombailamos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-84125302216231231842014-02-18T08:13:26.277-08:002014-02-18T08:13:26.277-08:00Agree with the first comment.
