"President Bush signed a formal agreement that will end the United States as we know it, and he took the step without approval from either the U.S. Congress or the people of the United States." This plan will make the constitution obsolete.

Six senators and 49 house members are bipartisn advisors (chaired by Senator Bob Bennett) for a group working toward the Trans Atlantic Common Market, which will combine the North American Union and European Union by 2015. The plan is being implemented by the Bush administration and has roots in the Clinton administraion.

If we had a constitutionally limited federal government as Ron Paul proposes, we wouldn't have to worry about the NAU or the TAU.

What to any of your comments have to do with tastebuds? That was the original topic of this blog. Apparently the statement of "Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry" failed to make an inpact on you. I don't mind you getting on your soap boxes but at least make your comments relative to the blog topic.

I don't use fake sugar. It gives you cancer, like everything these days. But I may try it one day. Using fake sugar once can't kill me... Right? RIGHT!?!?

Supertasters also:

--Taste many cooked vegetables as having a horrible, flat metallic taste, like gnawing on squishy tin cans.

--Are repelled by heavily sweetened foods.

--If we're foodies (rather than just picky eaters), can often work out a recipe from its taste.

Anyone else have the sudden urge to listen to the incredibly awesome song "John Lee, Supertaster" by They Might Be Giants?

"...though he looks like a man (talks like a man!) he is a Supertaster!"

I ordered the test strips mentioned before (www.supertastertesters.com or something) and found i'm an EXTREME supertaster. makes sense. i couldn't get the bitter taste of the strip out of my mouth, while my friend sat there and kept it in his mouth for a while.

I wonder how big a glass you're supposed to use? My "main glasses" are 24 oz and one S&L in 12 oz of water would taste far less powerful than in half a 10 oz rocks glass.

I'm a supertaster, from my papillae count (~70 per 7mm-diameter circle). When I was little, I used to open up a packet of sugar at fast food restaurants and pour it straight in my mouth. Once I went to a table with no sugar, so I tried a Sweet'n Low packet instead. Bleh! Bitter!!!!! Not sweet AT ALL. I couldn't understand how it could be an artificial sweetener. It was stronger and worse than vomit, because I kept trying to rinse it off by swishing Coke around, and it wouldn't go away. It was bearable only after I'd finished the whole drink. I didn't touch Sweet'n Low for years after that. When I finally did try a little later on, it was sickly sweet plus bitter. Though I'm curious, I just can't find the desire to try Dr. Oz's test for an update now. (Kids usually have a stronger sense of taste than adults.)

Just did the blue food coloring, 6mm circle, and magnifying glass test. I did it myself about a half dozen times before I got my girlfriend to count for me. 'Cuz the number I was countin' Could NOT be right. Well...it was. The lowest # of circles (Ha! Pinheads more like!) was 75 per 6mm circle. Of the dozen or so tests, the average was about 80 per 6mm circle. :o NOW I understand...Everything...Spicy, Aaaaah!! Tomato, Yurrrrk!! Dark green veggies, Hurmf! Alcohol, Yech! Coffee, Ewww! The most annoying though, No one EVER believed me when I said I can "Air Taste". Huh? No you can't. Yes...I actually can taste the air with my tounge, almost as accurately as I can smell. And now I know why...Finally. Ha! Disbelievers.
