@farmerman,

No it is quirk of the traders and the producers - nobody has ever asked the consumers whether they are fond of eating plastic tomatoes ... not to say that don't even inform us about such 'measures'.

It is not exactly so.
The tomatoes are sprayed with ethylene to become plastics, literally - 'to fix' the ripening by avoiding it to go any further. Last year I had such tomatoes left on the balcony at 35 deg.C ... and they remained there for over two weeks without becoming riper. WFM.

... where you proved to be as well. What is the difference between me and you? I also have no idea why you are on all the threads, but I am not saying anything. If you haven't paid attention this thread is about processed and non-processed milk and bone repairing - it is not about ID and the exclusive rights of the misuse with science to be on all threads ... and if you believe in ID there is no reason not to study what the producers & the traders are doing with the foodstuffs - it is not in contradiction with ID, if you have this in mind. Besides I am studying this for personal use only and the producers are providing GMO maize oil on public sales.

... like for example the irresponsibility of the food industry or the blackmailing of the GMO producers ... not only of the farmers, but of the consumers as well. I don't have any idea perhaps that it is all about money & lack of scruples ... and naivety of the consumers.

FM, at first you said that I have enumerated all possible oxidizing agents that I could find in Google, and now you are claiming that you are the original inventor of the oxidizing agents ... but the main theme there was about mineral water with pH around 9 and higher and you claimed that it is too dangerous to drink, and I said you that there is no such great risk (if you are not playing over), for we have so much oxidizing agents hanging around that it is almost impossible to get over-alkalinized ... with mineral water, in the way in which you are trying to present it.
The point there was the careful & gradual alkilinization of the body not the origin & the invention ... & the copyright on the comments about the oxidizing agents ... and the misuse with various foods at various levels of the production chain that is causing accelerated acidifying of the blood and of the tissues ... and the destruction of the bones in the end ... that cannot be repaired directly with processed or non-processed milk. Anyway.
