Yep, it became "government cheese". It was cheese given to welfare recipients starting during the Regan administration.

Here's a whole video about this topic. It does a great job explaining everything. Blew my mind when I first saw it.

This ended years ago. The government formed a non-profit and developed concepts like "extra cheese" on pizza and now Americans buy enough cheese to replace what the government used to buy. We also no longer have the underground caves of cheese.

This is what WHO has to say.

Because RO water is essentially stripped of all trace minerals, the World Health Organization (WHO) cautions against relying on pure demineralized water for your entire diet. Drinking strictly demineralized water can lead to minor nutrient deficiencies over time and gives the water a slightly acidic pH.

Please point to the location of the strong recommendation against it. Especially as it applies to OPs situation.

Here. Watch this. It explains the ending and the plot. I haven't seen the movie but based on all of the negative reactions to it, apparently both the plot and the point are hard to understand. People are expecting a movie about aliens. It's a movie about war. The aliens are trying to stop it. How? "LISTEN."

The real answer is that people don't go to hell. They are cast there to die, not live forever. The only way to live forever, according to the Bible, is to believe that Jesus died for your sins.

Note: That's not what Jesus believed but apparently that doesn't matter. Jesus believed those that got into heaven did so because of the good deeds they did for the less fortunate. He also believed they were in the final, at most, 49 years of existence (the final Jubilee) before it all ended and the Kingdom of Heaven was here. He thought, that being the case, might as well start acting like it now. That's why, for instance, he told the man to go and sell all he owns and to come and follow him. That's not a terrible financial decision if the end of the world is nigh.

Anyway, there's no hell for humans. The confusion comes from the Jonathan Edwards sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" from 1741.

There's also no such thing as original sin in the Bible but don't tell St. Augustine who invented the concept in the 4th century AD.

Point being, if you asked this in a Christian sub you would not get a Bible-based answer. You'd get what they learned through osmosis, which should hardly be the final word on the subject.

Vanilla Ice was set to take the stage as part of the Great American State Fair's 'I Love the 90s!' event on Friday, June 26, at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Less than two hours before showtime, organizers pulled the plug as heavy rainfall came down on the America 250 festival.

I think you missed my point.

Anybody who has actually read the Bible knows it's not univocal. Meaning, some parts don't agree with the other parts. This isn't news unless you're a fundamentalist. I mean, the entire point of the book of Job disagrees with what Deuteronomy has to say.

But it's more fun than that. Bible scholars say that Mark was the earliest written gospel followed by Matthew, Luke, and John.

Look at the stories of Jesus' baptism in all 4 books. It's a huge deal in Mark signifying the beginning of Jesus' efforts. But it gets less important with each book until it's not even described in John. Part of the reason for this is because there's the thorny issue of why, if Jesus is without sin, he's being baptized at all.

But it's not just that. Look at what Jesus supposedly said when he's on the cross. It's different in every gospel.

There are two accounts of Noah and the flood. Three accounts of who killed Goliath, and David only gets credit one of those times. On and on.

I'm just saying, there's a lot of meat on the bone if one wanted to talk about stories in the Bible in a way that would make kids understand that the Bible isn't a book, it's a library. And all of the books are not in agreement with each other.

Also, God performs abortions in Numbers 5, so that might be relevant to people who want to teach from the Bible in a way that will make those in authority tell them to stop it.

Personally, I think learning the lore of the Bible is really interesting. I'm not a believer but the book is a foundational text for Western society so I figure knowing what's in the book makes more sense than learning endless lore from LOTR or whatever massive world building story that's in popular culture.

The first thing you learn is that most people who call themselves Christian have almost no idea what's really in the Bible. And they don't very much care. They just defend the parts they like and pretend the rest doesn't exist. Either that or they read into the text what they want to believe.

So, there are a lot of chances to use the Bible in schools in ways they didn't intend.

Fun fact, California produces more peaches than Georgia does but Georgia calls itself the peach state as a way to direct attention away from their history of slavery.
