Subject: Re: [LPNY DISCUSS] Pentagon Report Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 16:17:36 -0500 To: From: Bob Armstrong I do a lot of my grocery shopping up in Chinatown and buy things= all the time that I have no idea what they really are ; they just= look interesting . I'm still alive , and may be healthier for having incorporated a little of that Asian topsoil . What I really find ironic is primitive packages with nothing= English on them except a nutrition label slapped on by the importer . Still doesn't tell me whether I'll be eating crustaceans or cockroaches , just that whatever it is its 38 calories provide 0% of my FDA defined daily requirements for carbohydrates or vitamin A . Absolute bureaucratic BS .
