Why Did #ALpolitics Legislature Make This #SuperFood #Illegal In #Alabama?

Q: What all-natural food has the following nutritional analysis?

Per 100g, it contains:
8.8g H2O – water
21.5g protein
30.4g fat
34.7g total carbohydrate
18.8g fiber
100 calories
4.6g ash – any inorganic material present in food, including minerals (Called ash, because after heating, water and organic material, such as fat & protein, is removed. Ash includes compounds with essential minerals, such as calcium and potassium. Generally, any natural, i.e., unprocessed, food will be less than 5% ash in content, while processed foods can have ash content of more than 10%.)
120 mg Ca – calcium
970 mg P – phosphorus
12.0 mg Fe – iron
5 mg beta-carotene equivalent – precursor to vitamin A
0.32 mg thiamine – vitamin B1
0.17 mg riboflavin – vitamin B2
2.1 mg niacin – vitamin B3, an essential vitamin, meaning our body doesn’t make it, and therefore it must be obtained from food
3.8%

No More Alcohol in Gasoline?

Recently, I received an email message from a friend, one who is highly intelligent, and who has a phenomenal diversity of life experiences. The item had a video to a Faux News video segment, which is included in this post, at the conclusion.

My response to the half-truthed item follows.

Here’s hoping you and others find it informative, and helpful.

While I have neither been the type to proclaim THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING! nor believe there is conspiracy against me, nor the paranoid type that imagines “the government” is out to get me (and therefore neither view nor read Fox News), I do think there is some credence to the item. (Of course, a “Snopes check” shows a mix of half-truths. But, if it ain’t all true, it ain’t true – kinda’ like the gas, you know.) More details on that follow.

In a story published published Saturday, February 1st, 2014, the Chattanooga Times-Free Press wrote how some motorists in that area are preferring 100% pure gasoline over the 10% Ethanol blend. (I happened to read that story at the time it was published.)

While residing there, I also noticed the same, and noticed that the price for 100% pure gasoline is higher than for the 10% ethanol blend. One day, while pumping the 100% gasoline at a Chattanooga gas station, I happened to speak with a gent at the adjacent pump about the difference. He shared an observation with me which I thought quite interesting, and one which certainly seemed reasonable.

He said that in an “accidental” experiment, he purchased some 10% ethanol blended gasoline for use in his lawn mower. He then poured some of the 10% ethanol blended gas into a glass jar, and let it set out at least overnight (or a bit longer). He observed that it had become cloudy from the accumulation of humidity.

While I’ve never tried such an experiment, I do note that many years ago, on occasion, I would run my little carbureted Toyota’s gas tank empty, and would then fill it up with 1 gallon each of Methanol, 100LL, Toluene, Xylene and Methyl Ethyl Ketone. I did so for at least two reasons: 1.) to get any water in the fuel tank & system out, and; 2.) to “clean out” any deposits that may have formed in the fuel system.

Of course, Gasoline and Water are different for several reasons, not the least of which is that

Dusting with WD-40… and the other 1,999 other things you can do with it.

WD-40 is an amazing product.

According to the company it was developed by some outer space types whom were researching a formulation for a type of lubrication that would displace

water.

Water, as you may know, actually supports oil – which is why we see oil floating on the surface of water, rather than sinking down below the surface.

The initials “WD” stand for “Water Displacement,” while the “40” is the 40th formula that was tried. Thus, WD-40.

Here’s what the company’s website says about their premiere product.
