Thread Name: BS: Comfort food
Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food
Bananas are sprayed with a dodgy insecticide (chlorpyrifos ethyl) where they are cultivated in tropical countries. This has appalling effects on the plantation workers. It also penetrates the skin of the banana and is found in the actual fruit. I suffer from vertigo if I eat bananas (which is a shame as I love 'em!) I end up dizzy as a duck and vomit copiously, and it lasts for a couple of days. So no more of them for me!
I now 'indulge' in those Piccolino tomatoes (small sweet ones) and black grapes from Spain. And whoopee! those huge black juicy sweet cherries are now coming in to the supermarkets.They're grown here in UK so I imagine no dodgy chemicals.
I think fruit as 'comfort food' has caused me to lose all the weight and turn me into a respectable size 12.
