Not a lot of links this week. I have been reading new books. I had planned to spend some time link hunting on Friday, then rushed out to take a last-minute job in the real world. I had found another link to add to this log on Thursday; Google seems to have lost it.
Attention Google: Page views are away up again and, while actual readers are welcome, even if they are in Ukraine or Russia, youall should check on the 26,000 "other" views.
Glyphosate Awareness
The Coca-Cola Company discontinues what was its "healthiest" product...

...Because people stopped buying it. And why did we stop buying it? Because ("How did wheat get into orange juice?" I wondered in 2007) it was made from real oranges. Including the peels and "navels." Which retained glyphosate, presumably sprayed on the fruit as an artificial ripening agent since orange trees shade out most of the "weeds" around them. Real orange juice became toxic. The health-conscious were better off drinking Mello Yello.
If they'd only used glyphosate-free oranges, the concentrated juice you mixed with water, making it easier to carry home and store, would probably still be a bestseller today.
