9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Recently General Mills, the maker of Hamburger Helper, announced that they were going to do their part to save the planet by straightening out the noodles in boxes of Hamburger Helper. Their thinking was that smoother noodles will take up less packaging because they settle together more easily. That will in turn make it possible for them to make the boxes smaller and then move more HH in each shipment. Problem solved!The folks over at the Environmental News Network have a bone to pick with General Mills. They say that tweaking the shape of the noodles will not have a significant impact on the health of the environment. ENN argues that until large companies like General Mills take a holistic look at what they make, how they make it and what they make it with, they won't have more than a drop of impact in the bucket of sustainability.

The environ-mental defectives always scream and hollar about how "EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS" and then as soon as somebody does something, they scream "ITS NOT ENOUGH!"
If you're smart enough, this is enough to prove their real motive is about power and hatred. If you're not smart enough, keep sorting that garbage!

Get rid of all the processed foods out there
and go back to eating right and healthly.
The solution would be less illness and
less stuff to throw away.
Simple solution to many of our issues here
on planet earth.

Meat you add is YOUR option, so instead of hamburger, you can make delicious variations by putting these cans into HH: Tuna, Salmon, White Chicken, Sardines, Spam, or try your favorite dog food or cat food.

Mills Ham/Help to China and say, "look fellas, you keep sending all those lead painted toys to our kids, and we will start shipping Hamburger Helper to your wives in China. You boys eat a few chop stixs full a that stuff, and you will use enmamel paints forever."

I'll make my family my own "Hamburger Helper." Doing it from scratch isn't much more trouble than pouring that stuff out of a box, anyway.
