I'm not leaving the house anymore It's too dangerous out there

According to the news.... http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/071217/safer_popcorn.html?.v=2 we can't eat microwave popcorn anymore. Apparently there is some sort of chemical in the stuff (and has been for years and years and years, I suppose) that gives people a lung disease.

Well that's just great. We're giving our children buckets of lead paint in the guise of a Barbie Doll and eating popcorn that is now giving us lung disease?

I'm about to give up. I know I already told everyone I was going to whittle some old fashioned toys out of logs for the nieces and nephews but I simply don't have the time. So they're all getting video games for Christmas. Just remind them not to go chewing on any of the packaging.

Since I have little time, I also eat quick things very quickly. Yes, including popcorn. Tostinos pizzas were recalled. Children's playthings have a chemical similar to the date rape drug in them. And NOW my favorite snack is tainted with lung disease?

Like I said, I'm about to give up. After the holidays, I'm gonna run a small plow through our small back yard, plant some veggies and fruit and set up a pen for a cow, a pig, and some chickens.

Let the city try and stop me from having farm animals in my back yard. At least I won't die of Mad Cow disease, lung disease, or drop into a comma from gnawing on my Fisher Price Baby's First Book.
