What I love about the pepper spray article are some of the comments, like this one: What's the big deal? Fox News said pepper spray was just a ''food product.''

and
And that's not all! With each canister of pepper spray you get this state-of-t­he-art gas mask!

Also, you're carrot dime rage cracks me up every time.

OMG, food product. TIME TO CULL THE HERD.

And you know, bad food - careless waste because of stupidity and lack of taste - is SO AGGRAVATING TO ME. One of my biggest pet peeves is food waste, so carrot dimes are just OFFENSIVE. :D

This is not sarcasm, but a real question. How are carrot dimes food waste? Do you mean because you don't want to eat them or is there something wasteful about the prep?

[stoney321]

Because they are inedible. They are horrible tasting. HORRIBLE. No one eats them because they taste foul. So it's a waste because they get thrown out at the end of dinner because they are DISGUSTING.

FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN'T REMEMBER MY MANY MANY RANTS ON CARROT DIMES:
1 bag of frozen carrot "coins"
1 can Campbell's Tomato soup
1 diced red onion
Put all in a zip lock bag to "marinate" [do not thaw carrots before] for 24 hours, remembering to turn the bag once or twice.

Heat until warm, watch people cry when forced to eat.

THAT IS DISGUSTING FOOD.

PROFESSIONAL CHEFS. 13 OF THEM. Well, 12 of them. The girl from Houston knew to use chuck.

Talk about a waste of a perfectly good brisket and a perfectly good opportunity to make a pot of chili!
