It so happens that a bunch of family friends come down from the US of A and we go out for lunch. As we are ordering, the waiter asks whether we want "mineral water" or ordinary water. Now ordinarily, ordinary water is fine. But no. We need "mineral water". When it comes it is religiously put into glasses and drunk for good etiquette. Wait a sec. Were these glasses washed in "mineral water"? Yeah. I guess so. Tap water in India should have lots of dissolved minerals in them!!!!!
Have we gone a little too far with this safe, clean, healthy meals? I mean, look at a daily wage labourer digging the side of the road. The construction site labourers. Muscular and fit. Working in the sun for hours together and back at work the next day. Do they even know what a balanced meal is? Do they have any idea what proteins, vitamins and carbohydrates are? Yet, I believe they have more strength and stamina than we "healthy" people who complain of having to sit for eight hours at work.

George Galloway Vs. Sky News - SKY NEWS KO'D!!!
The media has always been a means of generating and moulding public opinion. "Who will gaurd the guards? " is an often asked question. Biased reporting has been a problem for a long time. Sky news had this one coming and boy, oh boy, GG really knocked out this pathetic reporter

Pesti cola
Head for the hills!!!! The aliens have landed !!! They seek to wipe out our entire race by poisoning our most widely consumed brands!!!!!!!!!
Thats the kind of impression one would get if you were to read into the news reports on how there has been an increase in the amount of pesticides in Pepsi and Coke over the last three years. I mean, the way it was being reported made me visualize a big vat where these people are making a big cocktail of these pesticides and then spraying it into each bottle before it left the factory!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds ridiculous? Yes it is ridiculous. A normal cola has water, sugar, carbon dioxide and essence. Logically, if they aren't spraying a pesticide cocktail into the drink, it has to come from the raw materials. So where does that leave us?? The ground water and the water used to make sugar cane (from which we get the sugar) has much higher levels of pesticides.
Hence the CSE and citizens like us should first find out what is the pesticide content of the water that is being supplied to us.
