Aubrey Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Well, I earned 100, & it said I'm a Free Thinker. Must be true, too, because when I read their explanations, I only believed about half of them. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailV Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Well, now, this is sort of cool: "If you were in The Matrix, you would have taken the red pill, completed the combat training, and started fighting (and beating) agents from day one." But this is sort of ... odd: "you have one or more lifestyle habits that most people would consider odd or unusual." Hmmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa in SC Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm a free thinker with a score of 91.

You are just a free thinker in the other direction! :tongue_smilie: Honestly, I think whether one is a free thinker or not probably depends more on who is being the judge (in this case it was an entity with some definite agendas).... These were fairly leading questions anyways... hardly unbiased with regard to the answers. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alenee Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I was especially disturbed by this: Processed and packaged meat products (hot dogs, bacon, sausage, etc.) are preserved with an ingredient that both the food industry and the USDA absolutely know causes cancer. TRUE. The ingredient's name is sodium nitrite, and it's found in practically all packaged meats at any grocery store in America. Both the food industry and the USDA have known for decades that this ingredient, when consumed, creates a class of chemical compounds known as nitrosamines which are highly carcinogenic (cancer-causing). The USDA actually tried to ban sodium nitrite in the 1970's, but was overruled by the food industry, which wanted to keep using the ingredient because it turns meats bright red, making them look fresh.

Storm Bay Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I recently read about that in a book called Mad Cowboy. Worth the read. We avoid sodium nitrites and nitrates also because they're also known migraine triggers. They've been banned from baby foods for some time now, and I can't remember just why. fwiw, some uncured hotdogs also have high rates of this because smoking meat does the same thing (so it's also "natural" sometimes.)
