WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday declined to raise the levels it will accept of an illegal fungicide commonly used in the Brazilian orange juice industry.

Well that's good. I was starting to lose face in this whole "overlords at the FDA trying to kill us" thing.

They decided to torture us instead.

The orange juice industry didn't bribe hard enough

OH NO!
Now the orange juice companies will turn into Orange Kombucha companies!

I don't drink orange juice because I'm allergic to sulfites or fungicide or something in it since I was a young child. One of my friends told me that OJ never goes bad in the fridge. I had a bottle of OJ for making an orange sauce in my fridge. My friend swore it would be just fine....even though it's over a year old. It is. I guess the stuff has so much fungicide that it never goes bad just like McDonald's food. Anyone want some OJ?

I Guess the U.S. is Trying VERY HARD to PROTECT US , I Hope .....
