--S-A-- onions

[Guest guest]

Hi Betsy and all,

 

I personally haven't noticed this. I still need to run

cold water/chew gum while cutting up an onion as they

burn my eyes and make me " cry "

 

I do think that some onions are stronger than others

in this type of reaction. I find that the purple onions

and the sweet onions are easier to deal with.

 

Sincerely,

Karri

This may sound like a strange observation but when was the last time you

remember an onion making you cry when you peeled it? I haven't had an onion

make

me cry for at least five years that I can recall. Either something is wrong

with me or our food supply, specifically produce has been altered. This may

sound silly but I am seriously concerned that our fresh fruits and vegetables

are being tampered with in a terrible and nefarious way (genetically

engineered?) and maybe it would pay to be very careful about where we buy

produce.

Anybody else notice this?

Betsy

I have no problems with sweet whites, vidallia, or reds, but yellow spanish

to me, at least, are stronger than ever. They are to the point I will no

longer purchase them because there is just too much eye aggrivation coming

from them.

 

By the way, if you will " saw " your onions and not just chop through them,

the amount of juice released is much less and much less potential for

burning the eyes.
