Mushrooms
According to Wolfe, he believes that mushrooms have an "advanced intelligence and consciousness". He has stated that mushroom spores can "levitate off the planet" and believes they are trying to "get to the center of the sun". He has stated that mushroom spores originally came from "distant planets" and were "carried by cosmic winds or meteors into the Earth's atmosphere", stating "the preliminary work develops as the mushroom mycelium sets itself up to network and nourish multi-celled carbohydrate-forming organisms". He has also stated that the mushrooms that grow in trees are "medicinal mushrooms".

uh arent tree mushrooms all poison? or does he mean in a rotting log?

With the "petroleum in our children's food" bs they're probably conflating hydrocarbons in the body with industrial hydrocarbons - of course oranges contain them, everything organic does. Fats and Oils are chains of hydrocarbons, as are some amino acids so in some ways proteins can be thrown on that group too. THey're getting CH3(CH2)2COOH (Butyric acid) conflated with CH3CH2OH (Ethanol) and panicking thinking they're all the same thing as C4H8 (Butene) as well.

Does anyone actually believe in the "war on christmas"?

After all, this conservative fairy tale of "Liberals want to destroy christmas" has been going on for at least a decade or two, which never had existed outside of their own heads and the kind of creepy urban tales that conservatives whisper to each other beneath the christmas tree. Yet, even there is no substance to any of that, they still go on and on and on about it.

You're probably right, but somehow I find it easier to accept that people would believe in some yet unproven future event, such as Jesus returning, Trump making America great again or Brexit leading to a rebirth of the British empire. Just like somebody who makes a bad choice might convince himself that the ultimate outcome will be good (I'll have one more chocolate but tomorrow I will start my diet and look like a movie star afterwards; Nothing bad will happen if I let my toddler play with a loaded handgun, etc.).

But this war on christmas is so entirely mythical and yet you should be able to actually see it happening around you if it was real that it blows my mind. They might as well be convinced that there is a fire breathing dragon living in their front yard, and while there is naturally none, they heard so much hearsay about it that they convinced themselves that, yes, actually they DID see it with their own eyes on several occasions.

Oh, and:

That Joe Walsh guy (the ex-congressman, not the guitarist) is my favorite about it. Especially when he tweeted that Jesus would say Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays. Because Jesus was the type to say "Happy My Birthday."

December 25th was the birthday of the Roman God of the Sun.

"Nor is it [the Nativity] included in the feasts recognized by Tertullian (On Baptism, XIX), who, writing in the last years of the second century AD, admonished Christians not to partake in the Saturnalia, or gift-giving at the New Year or midwinter, or "an idol's birthday" when "every pomp of the devil is frequented" (On Idolatry, X)."

Edit: I wonder which song is worse: "Do They Know It's Christmas Time" with Bono wailing

quote:

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime

Or "We Are The World" with

quote:

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free

Personally, I think "Do They Know" manages to be worse.

I should have added this before but I decided to watch the video and the culprits that will give you childhood cancer are:
-Pop tarts - corn syrup which causes sugar addiction such leads to childhood diabetes and liver liver
-M&Ms - red, yellow and blue dyes which cause cancers
-Fruit gummy candy - red dye causes cancers
-Cheesies - orange dye - causes cancers and includes methyl benzoate
-Teddy Graham's - contain TBHQ which gives you are rats stomach cancer and exacerbates anxiety and adhd

Corn syrup fear is one of the most ridiculous myths of the modern day that seems really legitimate until you actually open a book.

When I worked retail last December our store's playlist had two versions of this song. One with the exaggerated sexy voice turned to 11 and another one actually sung by a guy, which was pretty funny the first time.

We can look back at product packaging from the 1900s (where everything had to be technologically advanced and miraculous) or the 1940s (where everything had to be "nourishing" and "wholesome") and laugh, but sooner or later our modern fetish for every single product having to have the word "natural" or "*-free" on it will look just as goofy to the researchers of the future.

Yeah, it's not any worse than other forms of sugar really at the end of the day. Though I do find myself wondering how corn of all things specifically became the major Big AG lobbyist power out of all the crops available.
