TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT

That may be the question in the not to distant future.

It was reported to day on the National News that 80 (eighty ) million people a year get food poisoning , from fruits and vegetables. Why from fruits and vegetables? because they are imported , and they are imported from countries like Mexico, where they are not held to the health standards that the AMERICAN FARMER IS HELD TO. And yet we import this substandard food, and it is sold to us the AMERICAN PUBLIC. Time and time again this food has been found to contain the E=coli bacteria. and yet it is aloud to enter OUR COUNTRY. The people who work the farm in Mexico are not the most hygienic you will meet. and when they work the feilds and they have to releave them selves guess where it goes , thats right , on that cabbage plant or that lettuce plant , or tomato plant or what ever . Then they are harvested , put on a truck and sent to AMERICA, in a Mexican truck that doesn't have to stand up to the inspections that AMERICAN TRUCK DRIVERS have to. The refrigeration on the truck is a summertime deal , summertime it work and summertime it don't , sie,sie. Then it's unloaded at a whare house , and distributed to the public through various means. It is not washed off like it should have been or treated in any way to kill any germs or bug that may be in or on it. Then we get it , raw,like it came out of the field, with the pickers toilet on it. Now I know a lot of us are at fault also , in that we don't wash the fruits and vege's off as good as we should . and we use the same choping board that we just cut meat on and didn't wash the board off. but all we did there is ,spread the germ around a little more . A year ago , half of a school in Calf. got sick with E-coli. investigaton showed that it was from the blue berries that were IMPORTED FROM MEXICO .

How can we protec t our selves , I don't know . Maybe make sure that all the fruit an veg are washed off real good and refrigerated , and may be try to buy only what is grown in this country , or maybe put food inspectors on the boarder, AMERICAN ONE's , who know what to do, and maybe shut down the free trade agreement that we have with countries that don't have the high standards that we have. That was enacted in the mid nineties , and ever since the AMERICAN PUBLIC has been getting sick. Wake up .

BEDBUGS
A small wingless biting insect, that infests beds, etc. etc. etc.

It was reported on the morning news the other day that New York City's Hotel's were infested with these bedbugs. and have been sued by some people that have stayed in an infested hotel. The infestation is not confined to the bed , they also migrate to the rugs and drapes and furniture , to my knowledge. Where do they come from , Well thats a hygiene problem, and it comes from people who are not to clean. But then the House keeping department of the hotel is not doing its job in their cleaning of the rooms and bedding. Years ago you may have heard of a very low end Hotel/motel have a bedbug problem. How would this even get started ? Well lets look at the past some . Years ago the Hotels were all owned by Americans and American Corporations, and were run by American managers who knew what to do and the Head house keeper was an American who knew what to do and when to do it and so did her American staff.

But in the past fifteen years these Hotels/Motels have been bought, by people from a foreign country most times that country is a third world country and they sell Oil. and there you have either rich or dirt poor. The poor in these countries have not seen a commode or know what it is for. In Germany these people who migrated there use the commode to store there potatoes. God knows where they did their toilet. But now they are here working for a corporation who sponserd them to this country. and the Co.'s position is to do as much work at the least cost. The Head house keeper in most cases dosen't know what to do or how to do it right. Her staff is worse in the knowledge of cleaning. The management gives these people a quart bottle of water with a half ounce of cleaning liquid of some kind , and it is suppose to clean everything including the bathroom . and it is supposed to last the girl for the ten rooms or more that she has to clean. The bedding is probably not changed and washed , maybe once a week. The carpet is probably cleaned once a year and should be done at least every two months. Bowl cleaner and bleach and lysol need to be used in the bathrooms. And that ladies and Gentelmen of the traveling public is why there is lice and bedbugs in the Hotels/Motels , not only in New York city but all across the country . Their in the taxi's ,buses, trains and planes and in car rentals. These business are foreign owned, foreign run, and foreign staffed who don't know dippy dew about cleaning.

What makes me know so much about cleaning you ask.?
Well I've been in the janitorial business for the past thirty years and owned a Janitorial service for the past twenty five years , and my wife was the Head House Keeper for the Holiday Inn Corp. for five years.
That's how I know.

Heres a tip for you , when you go to check into a Hotel/Motel and your feet stick to the floor in the lobby and your butt sticks to the toilet seat. Sleep in the car. Good luck

A Geezer and the Morning Sun.

It's Sunday morning and I went out side for the fresh air. The sun morning sun felt warm on my face , and I thought I'd go native. Take my slippers off you know , and go bare foot, and walk on the grass. I got a few feet from the concrete and in stead of going off in deep thought , I started to go , Ow , ow and oooo , oooo, and ouch , I quikly made it back to the cement , and cussed the grass burrs. they hurt , ya know. I decided that it was in my best interest to stay where I was and keep my walking around the pool . It was a warm morning and all I had on was my robe and undies. I was comfortable . As I walked around the pool my wife came out in her robe and flashed me a leg . She said " It's good to live in the country with no neighbors, isant it " I flashed her my chest and said "Yeah." I'm seventy years and seven months and six day's old and my wife is sixty eight years and two months and three day's old. We let our robes drop to the ground ,the hell with the dirt, and walked towards each other. At this time in life thats the best we can do. We met in the middle by our lounge chairs, her, hers and mine, mine , or what ever, and took a recling rest position in the warm sun. Laying there in our scivvies ,soaking up the warm sunshine felt good. My wife spoke again. " It's cool laying here in the sun . " I said " Yeah , especially when the wind blow's , then its really cool." Shut up she said." Eighteen and a half minutes later , I know that to be a fact , by the clock on my blood preasure monitor, I looked up into the clear blue cloudless sky and said to my wife " I think we had better go inside the house . She said " Why , are we getting sunburnt." I said "No , the buzzards are circuling and so are the fly's. " Once in side , we made our selves a Geritol cocktail with a shot of vodka , and watched reruns of " You bet your LIfe." After a couple of those cocktails we both looked fifty years younger to each other , to bad our bodies didn't feel the same. But even so we started to get silly with each other. After a while it was like two dogs chasing a car, once the car stopped they didn't know what to do with it. Back to the Tv watching , a while later my wife said , " On the news yesterday morning they made a report about chickens, from the time that they are hatched to the time they are processed." Still speaking " When they are hatched in a giant incubator they are then shipped by the thousand's to a feeding farm . These little chicklings are then placed in a cage , four to a cage. They are forced fed for three months ,then they are about the size of a year old chicken. The reason that they grow so fast is that their feed is laced with steriods and a growth hormone plus antibodies and vitiamans. Their bodies are forced to grow, faster than nature intended.

When these chickens are three months old , they are gathered up and brought to the processing plant. Here they are processed for human consumption. What can't be eaten by us is made into animal feed or fertlizer. AT the grocery store we buy these chickens , raw , baked ,boiled , fried , cooked , and rotisseried. " So what you say." I say maybe we should watche what we eat , or at least how much we eat, or know what is in what we eat. The growth hormone and steriods and antibodies do not wash out of the meat, it is then passed on to us. The growth hormone and the steriods make our bodies grow maybe thats good and maybe thats bad. Think of a rubber band that stretches , it gets weaker as it gets longer , and then snap. This could leave us open to unknown disease's ,antibiotic's the same the germs build up an inmunity from them.

Now some of you may say " Fooey, that man don't know what he's talking about. That could be. I'm just going on experience. I use to spray with pestecides. and some of those chemicals would and could be absorbed into your body through your skin. It happens almost everyday. Another case in point.

In England about three decades ago , there is a small river out side this village. The fishing was always good for the sport fisherman. There was no problem catching any number you wanted , they of course threw back what they didn't need for dinner. After a while in the early seventies the catches became less and less. The sport fishermen started to complaine about their poor harvast and sport catching. A Biologist heard about their complaint and started an investigation. It took him a few weeks to find out what the problem was. The fish were not reproducing. Why was the question now. A few weeks later he found out that the treated water from the sewer plant was going into the river. But that shouldn't bother the fish. Analyzing the water before and after it entered the sewer plant , he found that there was a chemical in there that women take for birth control . He proved that women , when they take the birth control products and when they urinate it out it all goes into and through the sewer system and into the river. It doesn't break down , it stay's at full strenth. and that is why the fish didn.t reproduce. What they did about that , I don't know. As you can see , chemicals are passed around , from human to animal , from animal to human.
You be your own judge.

Me , at this point in time I'll just keep on eating chicken. I figure that by the time I'm ninety, and with all the preservatives we eat, I'll be eight feet tall, and weight nine hundred pounds, and I wont decay.
I figure my kids will either prop me up on my tomb stone , or use me to hold a sign for a garage sale. Might even sell me.

Just some Geezer ramblings
