2024-07-24 Message to Con Agra Foods.

********************************************************************************
2024-07-24 Message to Con Agra Foods regarding Marie Calendar 
15-ounce chicken pot pies.
********************************************************************************
When I buy a product I expect it to be fully sealed in the package for food
safety reasons.

I have repeatedly seen a problem where the packaging is so flimsy that the tab
where you would open pot pie is open.  Today I saw multiple packages on the
Walmart store freezer shelf with this problem.   I then grabbed a cardboard
case with 6 pot pies and took it to self-checkout.  At checkout, I discovered
that half the packages had this problem and I told the cashier that I didn't
want to buy those.

I have seen this before when I would order using Walmart curbside pickup.  
Maybe the people who bring the order to the car don't handle the packages with
care,  but I would discover the same problem with the pot pies after I got home.
For this reason, I stopped ordering the product through curbside pickup.

In the future, I intend to only order the Marie Callendar Pot pies that Sam's
Club sells because they come in a box of 8 which provides extra protection.

We're all confused about Red Meat. Here's Why.


I knew a preacher who dismissed all of science because it always uses qualified statements like, "The evidence would suggest that ...".   This is because science is rarely settled,   Science is subject to change as new information becomes available.  So the preacher thought that science doesn't really know anything.

I look at science in terms of probability.  Trans fats are associated with a higher risk of heart disease.  It doesn't mean that it is the same for everyone or that it is proven, although the evidence is strong enough that we could look at this as a fact.

People can't know everything, so as a rule people just take the best information available to them.

Sugar Alcohols Ruined My Health: Learn from My Mistakes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5v61YtDYo4

I haven't noticed sugar-alcohols in very many products. I have occasionally bought no-sugar-added pies that contain sugar-alcohols, and they give me gas, but as long as I eat them in moderation, I am fine. Too much can have a laxative effect.
