Orange who?

Afton tells lots of knock, knock jokes these days and the punchlines are these wild rambling tales that she finds HILARIOUS. You know the knock, knock joke where you answer, banana... banana... banana... orange and then finally... orange you glad I didn't say banana?

Anyway, knock, knock? Who's there? Thiabendozole. Imazalil, who?

I bought a case of oranges from CostCo last week and when I got them home saw this little warning... I did a little scary research (the results listed lovely things like contact dermatitis, chemicals used to bind metals to prevent lead poisoning, 90% of the chemicals are processed by rats...), I decided to put the oranges in a warm water bath to dissolve the wax and hopefully some of the chemicals. I just wanted to make orange juice, trying to stave off some of the Spring colds and junk that's going around. This is what the oranges look like when I washed them. This is what they looked like after the warm water bath. I don't think I should have to wear gloves while making orange juice, do you? Kinda gross, right?

I know the president has alot on his plate, but don't you think it would be smart if we start to push these issues on a national level? He has children and I'm sure is concerned about what they eat and how it affects them and whether or not he and other parents have to google ingredients to feel safe.
