geoffrey Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Got this in my e-mail today, and it really made me think about how easily people get pushed around by polls and statistics from those with an agenda... here it is: What should we do about the terrible effects of bread? 1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users. 2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests. 3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations. 4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread. 5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month! 6. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts. 7. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person. 8. Newborn babies can choke on bread. 9. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute. 10. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling. Interesting hey.

BubberMiley Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Didn't you refer to marijuana as a gateway drug? That's kind of the same logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearWest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Didn't you refer to marijuana as a gateway drug? That's kind of the same logic. That's kind of different--Cold cuts are a little better for you than heroin is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
