No beer for me, but I'm a regular cold coffee and green tea drinker. Who knows how much shit has been in my daily coffee or tea?

Terrific post Nigel (as are previous posts), but I certainly resonated with your sentiments in this one.

Your " . . . last EVER beer," comment made me laugh, as I've had to face the same unwelcome realisations that almost everything 'normal' is now highly suspect. On a similar hunch I had a look into the supplement regime I thought I was protecting myself with, and to my horror found phenomenal numbers of motile micro-bots reanimating themselves out of the dry content of vitamin capsules once sterile water was applied. Then horror of horrors - I looked at my Peanut Butter. Same revelation.

It was a welcome consolation that I found my Vegemite looking okay at least.

And I relate to your "nagging doubts that this is all normal" comment. At times, despite seeing it with my own eyes, the cognitive dissonance challenges the reality witnessed - until I accept that my wishful thinking/denial is a very normal human frailty when faced with realisations of such magnitude.

It's going to require of us all some courageous soul searching and spiritual confidence to be able to deal with the challenges ahead, eh. Accepting personal responsibility for a solution is the place to start.
