I have a degree in Chemistry, among other things.
No disrespect intended. As I said, it's just a peeve that I have due to the term's misuse for deception.
That's not what I mean. What I wanted to say is that I only used the shortcuts for practicality, not by ignorance.
I see where you're coming from.
I understand.
I just have a bunch of relatives that sell a bunch of those pyramid scheme products that all fall for the "No Chemicals!" schtick and they ALL get sucked into it to the point of going broke.
Nothing personal meant, and your degree is far more than I have. I'm just a layperson that notices these things (well, I do have some advertising training and have been taught to recognize certain things about how ads work).
The straw that broke my back was a cousin of mine selling fingernail stickers that advertised as one of its pros as being "Gluten-Free!"
Gluten-free stickers. Jeezus feckin' Christo!
That's the thing...it may be their money to waste, but the trend has been for food products that are gluten-free are more expensive. I DO have an aunt that IS allergic to gluten (and she's a cake-maker, of all things) so in order for her to eat without dying, she must spend more money than the rest of us, simply because of a stupid fad. Freaking pisses me off.
My ex also had a wheat allergy, but this was well before the gluten-free fad.
Real allergies can be terrible. A child died in a school not far from here because his teacher neglected/forgot to read his file where it was written that he was allergic to wheat. He only ate one little pancake and immediately went into a shock, the paramedics were unable to revive him. It was a tragedy. I remember seeing it on local tv. very sad.
Finally got enough Scyther candies, that I was finally able to evolve my best one into a Scizor in Pokemon Go.
I had a nice walk in the woods and a nice conversation with my roomie.
I spend a couple of hours a day in the woods that are all around my living location. The only annoying thing is that you have to dress in flashy colors so that hunters will not mistake you for game!!
I got the extra bonus in my Simon's Cat game.
I totally loathe bananas but I think this recipe might work very well with coarsely grated apple instead. And with a pinch of ginger and cinnamom =)
Thanks for the inspiration!

The bus was right on time today
This place is far from being heavily populated and that's why the closest bus stop is like a mile away and you can watch Titanic the movie between buses!
I am exaggerating for effect but not by much!
On the bright side, the percentage of pollutant in the air is extremely low!
When I see someone smoking I am tempted to tell them to move to a big city, that way they would do the same damage to their lungs... for free!

It took 141 encounters in Pokemon Let's Go, but I finally ran into and caught a shiny Gastly!
Got a call this morning that my dentist caught the flu and my appointment must be postponed by 2 weeks. YAY!
