Yes, it was a different thread.......
I have no dog in this fight, and don't plan on entering one....EVER!!
I personally use cure #1 or a variation of, but have used TQ in the past. I switched because I needed a lower salt form of curing, not because of what's inside a box of TQ.
As I see it, if Mortons Cure was a danger to consumers, the U.S Government would have made Mortons pull their products off the shelves by now. In addition, attorneys would be taking names and lining customers up for a class action lawsuit against Mortons. Since neither of these has happened yet, my personal opinion is that Morton's Products are safe for me and my family to use.
Many times the U.S. Government will come out with a warning, and then relax or change it later. I threw out the fish example, because fish have nobody to lobby for them in congress. The animal industry is full of lobbyist's who persuade our politicians to believe their opinions are best. It's just about as corrupt as it can be, and still be marginally legal.
Keep-In-Mind, that this is my "Personal Opinion" and "My Opinion Only". It is not based on any U.S. Government facts or statistics.
