Big Discount RV Camping News

Hello campers,
Great to see April… I stayed in Florida until the first week in March to see Bike Week in Daytona, and wow, I’m glad I did. I've never seen so many bikes in one area. It was great, here are some of my pictures from Bike Week.

Pass The Butter, Please. This is interesting…

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.

It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavourings....

DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?

Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

• Both have the same amount of calories.
• Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
• Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
• Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
• Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!
• Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of other foods.
• Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .

And now, for Margarine..

• Very High in Trans fatty acids.
• Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...
• Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
• Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
• Lowers quality of breast milk.
• Decreases immune response.
• Decreases insulin response.
• And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
• Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT

These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

You can try this yourself:

Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:

• no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
• it does not rot or smell differently because it has nonutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!

Chinese Proverb:
When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.

Pass the BUTTER PLEASE!

Good Diet Program
Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog and was in the checkout line when woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit us both. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Costco won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

The First Time
A teenage couple had been dating for a couple of weeks, and the relationship seemed to be going rather well. The young girl told the boy that if he were to come over for dinner, meet her parents, and make a good impression, she would reward him by making love to him. Well, he was pretty excited, as it would be their first time, and he immediately went down to the local pharmacy to buy some condoms. But, it being his first time, he didn't know what kind to buy, so he asked the Pharmacist for help. The Pharmacist spent a good hour discussing the different kinds of condoms, what they do, how to pick a size, etc. He then asked the boy which he would like. To which the boy responded, "Well, being as it is going to be the first time, why don't I get the family pack." The Pharmacist rang it up and sent him on his way. Finally the night arrived. Of course the boy was very nervous, but was determined to make a good lasting impression on the girl's parents. Everyone sat down to dinner, and the mother said, "Let us bow our heads and pray." Everyone bowed their heads and said grace. When they were finished, everyone looked up. . .except the boy. He continued to bow his head and mumble in prayer. After about twenty minutes, he is still praying. . . and the girl taps him on the leg and whispers, "I never knew you were so religious." And the boy says, "I never knew your dad was a Pharmacist!"

Happy Camping,
