On Luxuries The Chofetz Chaim shunned a luxurious lifestyle and way of living. He was extremely particular that his household should be managed in a very frugal and economical manner without the benefit of any extra luxuries. There were many factors that explained his behavior.

However, his primary reason was the fact that for obtaining luxuries one needs a financial backup and money cannot just be picked up. One must invest much time and effort to earn money and time is life and life is Torah! The Torah tells us that an hour of Torah learning in this world is better than all of Olam Habah. Therefore, the Chofetz Chaim would state, “For every extra piece of furniture, jewelry and the like, one, in essence, is relinquishing many blatt Gemarah.

windows.” Consequently, he limited the frequency of his visits to that particular family member to no more than once a year. Likewise, when he viewed carpeting, he quipped, “I feel as though I am stepping upon pages of Gemarah.” When he saw a family member buying a fancy pair of

On one occasion, the Chofetz Chaim noted that a certain family member had purchased bespoke curtains to grace the windows.

The Chofetz Chaim casually remarked, “I see several blatt Gemarah hanging on the

shoes, he said, “A person invests his head in shoes instead of investing it in Torah.”

Pesticides In Our Foods

Why Should You Care About Pesticides? There is growing consensus in the scientific community that small doses of pesticides and other chemicals can adversely affect people, especially during vulnerable periods of fetal development and childhood when exposures can have long lasting effects. Because the toxic effects of pesticides are worrisome, not well understood, or in some cases completely unstudied, shoppers are wise to minimize exposure to pesticides whenever possible.

What’s the Difference? An EWG simulation of thousands of consumers eating high and low pesticide diets shows that people can lower their pesticide exposure by almost 90 percent by avoiding the top twelve most contaminated fruits and vegetables and eating the least contaminated instead. Eating the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables will expose a person to about 14 pesticides per day, on average. Eating the 12 least contaminated will expose a person to less than 2 pesticides per day. Less dramatic comparisons will produce less dramatic reductions, but without doubt using the Guide provides people with a way to make choices that lower pesticide exposure in the diet.

Will Washing and Peeling Help? Nearly all of the data used to create these lists already considers how people typically wash and prepare produce (for example, apples are washed before testing, bananas are peeled). While washing and rinsing fresh produce may reduce levels of some pesticides, it does not eliminate them. Peeling also reduces exposures, but valuable nutrients often go down the drain with the peel. The best option is to eat a varied diet, wash all produce, and choose organic when possible to reduce exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.

How This Guide Was Developed? The produce ranking was developed by analysts at the not-for-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG) based on the results of nearly 43,000 tests for pesticides on produce collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration between 2000 and 2005. A full list of fresh fruits and vegetables

are listed twice because we looked at both domestic and imported samples.

It’s happened to all of us. You pay $4.00 or more for a bag of chips, pull apart the bag, and are forced to look deep inside for your tasty treasure. Instead of filling up the entire bag, the chips are lying innocently at the bottom and the rest of your bag was air…or was it? The truth is, there’s a really good reason for this minor annoyance.

Here’s why: some foods vacuum sealed during packing and shipping, and this is fine if its sturdy consistency. But just try vacuum sealing a bag of chips and you won’t be a happy they’ll all be broken! So, foods such as chips need a cushion to ensure they’re whole and crispy when you buy them.

But pumping the bag full of air won’t work. Why? When processed foods such as chips are exposed to oxygen, the food breaks down and becomes rancid.

That’s why nitrogen is used. “Nitrogen flushing” is a process whereby all the air is removed from the bag and replaced with nitrogen gas. The nitrogen doesn’t affect the taste of the food and doesn’t react with it like oxygen does, so the food stays fresher longer. And, since the nitrogen gas fills up the bag, the contents inside are protected during shipping.

Chris Christie also lashed out at Congress for doing nothing for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. But in their defense Congress says, “Hey, we don’t do anything for anybody.”

The annoying air in the potato chip bag is actually nitrogen!
