	   Is anyone else out in netland bothered by the growing
	use of this liquid chemical stew?  It seems that many
	otherwise decent restaurants/food vendors are presenting
	this garbage as a matter of course, as if no one will notice
	the difference or care!  I'm not a religious health food "nut;"
	I just want *cream or milk* in my coffee, not: 

		water
		hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oil
		high fructose corn oil
		sodium caseinate
		di-potassium phosphate
		polysorbate 60
		sodium stearoyl lactylate
		salt
		artificial flavor
		beta carotene
		(What IS this all this  stuff?)

	  I simply do not accept this cr*p.  I'll do whatever it takes
	to make the folks come up with the real thing, even if I have
	to make an issue out of it.  Unless this is what you *want*,
	that seems to be what is required.

	  Once I made a counterboy read every ingredient listed out loud.
	He gave me milk after that.  One b*tchy waitress proclaimed:
	"No Substitutions!"  Well, we walked out of the place.  Maybe they
	fed the omlettes to the dog.  Even Round Table Pizza, of
	the so-called "last honest pizza" fame ( hyping themselves as
	homemade, natural style ) hands out these disgusting little
	packages. ( Gee, looks like milk, let's pretend it's fine.)  That
	took about 15 minutes of hassle, including calling the manager.
	If you're in a cafeteria line, open up a milk carton and use what
	you need!

	   I hope other people make it known that they care about what 
	they're served; otherwise we've got no one else to blame.  Don't
	succumb to any attempts to embarrass you... there are alot
	of jerks out there.
