    Some animals are fed wheat or barley and then those stomach contents contaminate the butchering equipment.

    Also, note the quality of the science reporting: "volatile elements, most notably water". Who knew that water was an element?

    Some words have more than one meaning. When we say the stranded hikers were exposed to the elements we don't mean they were visible to lanthanum or that silicon was dropping on their heads.

    Having said that, the author is an absolute 'dromie for not using substances in the context.

    I don't really mind the taste, but it gives me terrible diarrhoea. Before anyone says I'm preparing it wrong, nobody else in the family seems to have the problem, including the kids. Luckily they've got bored with it so we don't have it so often now.

    unhappily, when Westerners latch on to things, the price rises, with predictable results for the poorer producers.

    Or use a kind of rice other than white. Black (Italian) or red (asian) are both really nice. That latter has a lot of fibre though, trust me.

    This encourages companies to do business in the US, which grows the economy.

    Some questions to ponder for you and the DeVry droputs who modded you up:

    1) If that was the case every country in the world would put up infinite tariffs and they'd all be better off. Why haven't they done this? Is it because it never occurred to them because they're not as smart as Trump?

    2) Stepping back a level, why did international trade even start in the first place?

    3) Have you heard of David Ricardo?
