cdavis I would guess it would mainly be the members that are interested, and it would have similar sentimental value to the church cookbooks back in the day.

Jonathan, is there any way that all the comments be removed from the recipe section and just have the recipe?

I could see some value in being able to print out a recipe with some selected comments

JohnG5 I absolutely and completely agree with you on the freedom of making choices. With those choices comes the responsibility of being knowledgeable enough to provide “informed consent”. In certain (most circumstances) and in the absence of a higher education specific to the field, most people are unable to make a qualified decision… and this is where the government should step in to engage the industries to provide transparencies. Additionally they have the very important task of protecting us (sometimes from our own stupidities) from industries trying to capitalize on an idea/concept while “experimenting” on the general population. It is easy for the average Joe to say “no” to a product such as Asian important Crawfish when they are told that they are harvested in mixed sewage field or that they have no real aquaculture standards. But what about chemical names or complex processes of manufacturing that are hidden under the guise of “work product” or that would require a PhD to understand??

We do have governmental branches that are assigned to do just that however it goes without saying that we’ve been failed many times over the past century. Don’t get me wrong those agencies have done a TON of good also.

My undergraduate studies was in biochemistry before pursuing physical therapy, and ultimately getting my doctorate in the field. I can tell you that 30 years ago while I was studying biochemistry that my eyes were open… wide… to the practices. To this day I do not understand how our own government would put a stamp of approval on certain products on the basis that the ppm (part per million) are acceptable. Neurotoxic chemicals are acceptable? Interesting LOL!!

The fast food industry was exposed a few years ago with the mess associated with “pink slime”. In order not to impact the industry too much the government came and provided a guideline as to how much “pink slime” they could have in their burgers. At that discovery I made the decision to forgo any fast food places. The practice was unacceptable to me so once informed I was able to make a decision but why did it take an investigative report to discover it when the overseeing agencies should have been there to evaluate and mitigate. We should have standards that they cannot add or manipulate our food source without government approval. To this day, if I go to a restaurant I will try to stay as close to God’s creation and avoid anything “grossly manipulated”. That’s why I don’t eat out very often.

Before being blasted, I know that I am still ingesting things sprayed with herbicides and pesticides and meats from animal injected with antibiotics and growth hormones etc… FULLY aware of it, and I do know some of the associated links to cancer, diabetes, chronic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune dysfunctions. But it is not because I agree to eat commercial cattle, chicken and pork, as well as commercially grown fruits, vegetables and nuts/sees that I agree automatically to man made laboratory food. When I was a child I use to drink TANG, the astronaut drink! I did drink it until I saw my mom use it in a wash cycle to brighten up the stainless in her dishwasher.

I will admit that I have not done my due diligence on certain on all things that goes in my body and therefore became a victim of my own laziness. The bigger problem is how many people fall in that category (lazy and dependent on the protection of our EPA, FDA, etc…) or how many concerned and well meaning pro-active people are not as well educated as they should be to understand the impact of their decision.
