I was only able to read the first part of the headline, but it was truly frightening. I think we have now reached the point where we know there’s no chance of living to a healthy old age. The target today was baking soda. As I said, I could only read the first part of the click bait, but it was clear that they were going to do an expose on the benefits and the dangers of baking soda .
You realize if they take away your baking soda, you lose your chocolate chip cookies? I’m not enough of a chef to know what else is involved, but it would really drastically change our lives. Add that the fact that baking soda has been used, I would guess, for centuries if not millennia and the human race seems to have survived. Not so anymore. Now some agency or government entity or Talking Heads Internet Guru has decided that they need to look into the dangers of baking soda.
I would say the next target may be water, but there are enough people who are already paranoid and driven to bottled water that I think we’ve already arrived.
Stay tuned. Your water will kill you. The air you breathe will kill you. Too much salt will kill you. Eggs will kill you. Coffee will kill you. Now you can add baking soda to the list.
When will they claim that reading blog posts is deadly?
