• Speaking of increased weight:

• Looking at the bright side, I'd rather take my chances with the dirty pond water then some of the other fillers like Melamine, or some of the other fillers the Chinese use.

  • And the dirty pond water really makes it sizzle on the grill, so that's a good thing.

• Pond Water Lamb. A great dish to serve the night before your colonoscopy. Between pond water and Go Lytely you'll feel like the space shuttle using your toilet as the launch pad.

  • Thread Win! Plus the fact I laughed so hard my sides hurt!

    • Seriously, people don't avoid colonoscopies for fear of pain with the procedure. They dread the prep!

      • Doctors and women nag you to death about that damn procedure. I finally gave in a few years ago, when I lived in Reno, and wouldn't you know there was immediately a giant scandal in Vegas about some asshole doctor with a string of colonoscopy clinics who wasn't sterilizing his instruments in between procedures. He saved money by recycling or some bullshit like that. Hundreds of people suddenly were infected with Hepatitis and HIV because they went to one of his clinics for this "completely safe preventative procedure." I watched the nightly news in horror as the string of clinics was modified with additions that got closer and closer to Reno. Thankfully the scandal never reached Reno or my clinic, but I resolved to NEVER LET SOME IDIOT DOCTOR UP MY BUTT AGAIN. Everything back there works fine, thank you, and it's an axiom that one should never mess with something that's working.

        • OMG!

          I am SO glad that it did not affect you, but I have to admit I am laughing right now...

        • IT'S AN EXIT, NOT AN ENTRANCE!
          I do annual stool cards and have had not even one alert.

        • Of course by the time you get a positive guiac test you are in serious trouble!

        • Stool Cards? Did I miss a new liberal holiday?

    • I was worried that people wouldn't know the term "space shuttle" since NASA abandoned the shuttle program after being told launching people into space isn't part of the space program.

      My favorite cartoonist, Michael Ramirez, nicely lampoons that decision here:

      • Another website I added to my list of favorites..thanks!

• *sighs* I was thinking China and hoping deep inside of my soul that it wasn't the USA... so glad it is China but ugh... gross....

  • One can´t help but wonder at what goes in Planned Parenthood clinics...

  • At least in the USA we pump up our meat with clean water.

    • Well I hope!

    • And salt. Don't forget the massive amount of salt injected into the meat before it even packaged. And they wonder why everyone is hypertensive. It is nearly impossible to stay within the guidelines for salt intake, because it is in everything, sort of like high fructose corn syrup. You would meet or exceed your recommended salt intake even if you never added salt to anything!

      • That is so true Rose. That is why I tend not to add salt to anything and it is difficult to figure it out during the cooking process. Like I said in another thread I need to figure out how to get the whole raising my own food and growing my own food stuff together.

    • And label it as such. I refuse to purchase the meats with added water. I have water at home, I can add it myself if I so desire.

• Wait, Walmart sells donkey meat snacks? Is it near the beef jerkey aisle?

  • I was thinking the same thing. Can I get some fox snacks too?

  • What I don't know is whether that means snacks for people made out of donkey meat, snacks for donkeys made out of some other kind of meat, or something else.

    • Now you know why I make my own jerky.

      • technically, i don't think that's called jerky poppaj.

        ha ha ha.

• Does guessing right makes one racist?

  Power to the pond scum!

  • Probably.

• I don't often eat lamb but when I do pond water is a plus.

• Obama!

  • ELEVENTY

    Did anyone need to read the article to know the answer?
    I was grocery shopping earlier and read the labels on the frozen seafood, farm raised in Vietnam or China, and one claimed to be wild caught in China.
    They are all still in the freezer case.

    • Precisely why I do not buy frozen food. Except Tostino's, they are my weakness. And, YES I know they are not seafood.

      • Tostino’s? And you call yourself an Italian!

        • I call myself HALF Italian. Hey, we all have our weakness when it comes to disgusting junk food, mine is Tostino's.

        • I get it. Mine are puffy cheetos and toaster pastries. worthless nutritionally, but I get a craving every now and again. .. . .

        • Super nachos from Las Palapas or Taco Cabana ;)

        • White Chocolate, Pizza, and of course BACON!!!

        • Tostinos. Just threw up in my mouth a little there.

    • Wild caught in China? There's a laugh.

      • I know, right?
