LIGHTSIDE
A hillbilly and his son were visiting a mall for the first time. They were amazed by two walls that could move apart and then slide shut again.
The boy asks his father what it was. (Never having seen a elevator before) The father replies, “Sorry I have never seen anything like this before”.
Just then an oversized lady came and pressed a button on the wall. The walls opened and the lady stepped into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light sequentially. They watched as it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. When the walls opened again a attractive slim 24-year lady stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the lady said to his son, “Go get your mother”
FOOD INFORMATION, TIPS
Thanksgiving was just a few days ago, and with the Christmas holidays coming, here are a few things to keep in mind.
AFTER MEALS
Put food away right after the meal. Discard any turkey, stuffing, gravy left at room temperature longer than two hours.
Refrigerated turkey and stuffing use within three to four days.
Gravy within one to two days.
If you freeze leftovers, use within two to six months.
HOW SAVE IS OUR BOTTLE DRINKING WATER.
Do Federal or local authorizes Check in Canada or the USA?
I just read a report by Shan Phelan Investigative Correspondent for the Irish Independent, showing shocking levels of contamination in bottle waters sold there are exposed in a confidential report by the States food safety watchdog.
The draft report seen by the Irish Independent reveals that harmful bacteria, including E coli, have been found in bottle water on sale throughout the country. Health officers found 7.2 pc of bottle water they sampled for the report were in breach of either legal or EU guidelines. For a complete report go to;

FOOD INSPECTIONS
GOOD NEWS FOR OUR HEALTH FROM FAST FOOD
Fast-food outlets including McDonald’s and KFC have pledged to make their food more healthy as part of a campaign to cut heart disease and obesity. Burger King, Wimpy, Nando’s and Subway promised to cut salt and fat levels. The Food Safety Authority will monitor the commitments with the aim of making the food eaten by more than three million Britons a day healthier.
The baking, grilling or frying of starchy foods can create a harmful substance called acryl amide. Acryl amide is a chemical that forms in some foods during cooking at high temperatures. The natural sugars and the amino acid asparagines found in some plant foods combine naturally to produce acryl amide when subjected to high heat. Common food sources of the chemical include potatoes, grain products and coffee.
Very low levels of acryl amide are present in drinking water compared to the much larger amounts of the chemical found in cigarette smoke and certain foods.
At present, the World Health Organization classifies acryl amide as "probably carcinogenic to humans" on the basis of the evidence from animal studies.
At the heart of problem is the way we prepare potatoes and grain products. Some of the largest sources of acryl amine in the diet include french fries, potato chips, ready-to-eat cereals, cookies, graham crackers, pastries, coffee and toast. All of these products are processed or prepared at high temperatures.
Large amounts of acryl amide form during high-temperature cooking techniques such as frying, grilling, broiling, roasting or baking. Foods that are cooked to a dark brown color contain higher amounts of the chemical than those that are stopped at a golden yellow.
Little or no acryl amide is produced during lower-temperature methods such as boiling, steaming, poaching, braising, blanching and microwaving.
Acryl amide is usually not present in raw plant foods. It's typically not associated with meat, dairy products or seafood.
The higher the temperatures and the longer the times that plant foods are cooked, the greater the amounts of acryl amides that are formed.
Cook at recommended temperatures to destroy germs while preserving the maximum flavour and nutritional value of your food.
NEXT HEALTH CRISIS?
The past decade witnessed the massive off shoring of jobs to low-cost countries, decimating the U.S.A. and Canada manufacturing base. Cheap food may bring the next health crisis.
Ice cream. Yogurt. Crackers and biscuits. Egg and products containing powdered eggs. Cake. Powdered and condensed milk, pet food, pie, cereal plus other food products.
You probably consumed some of these products. Did you know where they came from? You may have thought these products were produced in the USA or Canada. You would not know that some of these products came from china, and yes, China imports them into Canada and the USA.
These foods of Chinese origin have been found by authorities in the United States, Canada, Australia, to contain an industrial chemical called melamine that is used to make plastic. In recent weeks, the Chinese government has admitted that adding melamine to food - which raises protein levels, making poor-quality products look more nutritious - is common practice in China. Melamine can cause kidney stones and kidney failure when eaten. It has already sent about 54,000 Chinese consumers to the hospital and caused the deaths of at least four infants.

USA OPENS FDA OFFICE IN CHINA
Worries about the quality of Chinese exports to the U.S. have become a major feature of bilateral trade ties, with substandard Chinese food and toys covered in lead paint among the recurring product safety scares.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, speaking on the eve of opening of an FDA office in Beijing, said a new strategy was needed because the United States imported $2 trillion worth of goods a year, equal to four times the size of the Brazilian economy.
The FDA Office will be the first outside the US and will be followed by two more in China this month and one in India next month.
BEWARE FDA SCAM
As part of a fraudulent scheme to extort money from consumers, callers have falsely identified themselves as officials from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Consumers should know that FDA officials never contact consumers by phone to demand money or any other form of payment. "Impersonating an FDA official is a violation of federal law," says Michael Chappell, FDA's acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs.
Offers of Discounted Prescription Drugs
Several instances have been reported to FDA of calls enticing consumers to purchase discounted prescription drugs by wiring funds to one of several locations in the Dominican Republic. No medications are ever delivered.
A subsequent call is received from a fraudulent "FDA special agent" informing the consumer that a fine of several thousand dollars is required to be sent to an address in the Dominican Republic to prevent incarceration or other legal action.
Report complaints or information regarding this scheme to FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations at (800) 521-5783.
RECALL NOTICE

Fiesta recalls 47,000 Blue Ember grills
Fiesta has recalled 47,000 of its Blue Ember gas grills because improper assembly of the grill poses a fire hazard. Fiesta has received 14 reports of grill fires although no reports of injuries.
CLEANING TIPS
Commercial cleaning supplies can aggravate your allergies and have long terms effects on your health. You can save on your house-cleaning bill with very good results using less toxic substances. Before washing, it is essential that all stains be removed. Sometimes Soap or hot water will set a stain and make its removal impossible.
RESPONSIBLE DRINKING
If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the
risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate drunk
drivers cause many fatal road accidents.
It should be known that like any other drug, addiction is a
potential hazard. Excess of alcohol will affect organs such as the brain, heart, and liver.
