I've always been curious why Werther's would cut costs/taste corners by not using real vanilla, when all their other ingredients seem to be of quality?
So, I'm gonna munch down a "virtual Werthers" and live vicariously through your enthusiasm and my memories of the delicious taste, but my lips will never touch any food with artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives again. Such chemicals have riddled my wife with debilitating autoimmune diseases and reading labels has literally been a life saver.
I remain a huge fan and it was not my intent to appear as a downer, but the whole "chemicals in our food thing" just hits a nerve and I felt compelled to comment.

But even more sad and disappointing is that you, a respected environmental activist, are an advocate of the H1N1 vaccine, a rushed-to-market concoction that contains known and unacceptably high levels of toxic incredients like mercury and squalene known to cause autism, birth defects, GBS, and severe autoimmune diseases.
Here are some reports from Allvoices colleagues that discuss the health risks of the H1N1 vaccine:

Does your concern and respect and activism for the environment stop cold at the skin, like our bodies are somehow impervious to deadly toxins? Or is it OK to poison our bodies, but not our air, land, or water? I have seen the devastation that environmental injuries from toxic chemicals pervasive in our environment have caused to the body, the mind, and the spirit and I have no intention of being vaccinated.

I consider un-American every mean-spirited conservative, republican, democrat, et al. that purposely disrupts the political process and derails any possibility of a public option. What ever happened to love thy neighbor?

We've watched it happen and many of us screamed in the streets to prevent some of this insanity, but were ignored. The Patriot Act gave sweeping powers to various authorities while stealing our constitutional rights, the unwarranted spying on U.S. citizens and sophisticated surveillance capabilities, huge and mega-funded military/industrial/prison complex and "police-ification" of America (as we saw recently in actions against peaceful protests in Philadelphia at G20 and White House), and we're paying for unnecessary wars and shameful bailouts and sending billions in aid and weaponry all over the world--while our personal security and net worth has waned.
I lead a natural lifestyle, using alternative healthcare options, eat as organic as possible without chemicals and pesticides, and stay away from doctors and medications and rarely get the sniffles. I have enough mercury in my dental work that I won't tolerate more in my diet or vaccines, especially those rushed to market by profiteering big pharma over some flu fear frenzy. And now immunizations apparently becoming compulsory by our government--under the threat of martial law?
The motives are very suspicious, indeed. Will our lives be a reenactment of George Orwell’s 1984? Or are they already?

Our public servants think we're here to serve them, keep our mouths shut, and just consume, consume, consume. Poppycock! Personally, I think we should throw them all out of office and start over fresh, and send greedy corporations to reform school by closing our pocketbooks to them.
We can all agree to disagree, but must collectively jump into action without wasting any more time. I appreciate the varied perspectives and conversations here on Allvoices and find that if we "check our egos at the door" we have more in common that most of us want to admit to. Maryann, thank you again for the great recipes to help save this country. Today's the perfect day to don our aprons and start cooking up a storm--together. Our children our counting on us!

Gosh, questioning our elected (and selected) "leaders" and demanding responsible actions, full accountability, and no double standards? Imagine that. I think all of us should expect those qualities in our public servants, despite one's political bend.
I don't know where the sense of entitlement comes from in a vast majority of our elected/selected folk and I think Obama and his family should be more comfortable in that big ol' White House, getting down to business, kicking the congressional shenanigans in the rear, and solving some of the real problems here on the ground in America and stop tromping all over the world burning cash and fossil fuels, especially to doing a sales job for the Olympics--which I personally consider a complete waste of time, money, and just another "feel good" distraction to keep our eyes off the war, the tanked economy, lack of health care for millions, joblessness and foreclosures, poverty and crime, et al.
Thanks again Amanda for bringing us all back down to earth once again!

I don't much trust our government to run anything or spend money wisely--but I trust private insurers literally zero. Privatization equates to corporate profiteering and continuing to marginalize millions of millions of Americans.
Shame on you!
