      <description>Always creepy reading your thoughts, Infliction. I can see from them why you hide.&lt;br /&gt;However, there being abit of truth in everything, you have to be addressed.&lt;br /&gt;You are not writing to discuss Elizabeth Brown's apology. Constant references to Internationalism and 911 atrocity thread the invective. Why?  Using your personal career motive hypothesis as pointer: the Failed artist carpet-bagging 911 as 'con' because world failed to recognize genius etc etc, INFERS  911 Official Commission Hijack Theory [OCT] as base construct TRUE. "infliction' is telling us the Commission/NIST Theory is the' truth'. His/Her conclusion, that this artist, roger morris, has adopted 911 conspiracy opposition in his art NOT as RESPONSE to REAL LIFE forensic and eyewitness evidence streams contending OTHERWISE, but as a 'failed artist nutbar controlled-demolition conspiracy theorist'. &lt;br /&gt;A classic put-down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any discussion of 911 False Flag ATROCITY, its OBVIOUS cover-up urgently requiring INTERNATIONAL WAR-CRIME investigation, automatically sets Official Theory defenders into froth.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;My only FAILURE as an artist, is in not making it crystal clear that confronting this poisonous LIE of 911 false flag and its COVER-UP at the highest levels of Government, is THE most important moment in our recent 'international geopolitical' history.  We KNOW explosives went off BEFORE plane strike, and in WTC7 BEFORE the Great Towers were demolished and we KNOW Al Qaeda had not been mentioned in the literature before 911. We KNOW 81 vertically columned 47 storied steel framed High Rises don't fall STRAIGHT down AT FREE FALL into their own PLAN AREA because of 'Normal Office Furnishings Fires' - even when untested-states-secrets-privilege protected creatioNIST computer constructs TELL us so. Nor do 220 acres of 5" concrete pulverize into nanothermate ridden DUST storms by 'gravity collapse' kinetics alone. We KNOW false flag terror attacks are routine 'deep state' tactics and well documented. Gladio. Tonkin. USSS Liberty. Oklahoma. Madrid. London. We KNOW assassination and cover-up are STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE in dark COG worlds that have NATO flying Mujahdeen 'terrorists' with Turkish Passports to fight dirty wars in ruthless Mafyia KLA drug LORD land, Libya, Syria Afghanistan et fckn al. Flying the drugs out too probably.  Certainly CIA rendition planes do. We KNOW CIA/FBI COVERED-UP 911 intelligence, that rogue elements in powerful places gate-keep and that the commission report is bent all to hell. The AUTHORS are TELLING us so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever levels your individual thinking and personal research have/has reached,  Neoconazionist Saud ISI mercenary/blackOp/FBICIAMOSSAD/WALL st insider trader terrorists and whoever TF else INVOLVED :  911 false flag is REALTIME  RIGHT NOW,  was an INSIDE job, is a COVER-UP,  EXISTS, and has YET to be properly contended with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any ART or QUESTION of 911's fundamental nature is vastly more to the POINT than your taking a piss on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yet strangely, two questions are appropriate:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What public. &lt;br /&gt;Who cares. </description>

      <description>&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Pee Wee's Flophouse: Aaron Laurence, Arlo Edwards and Roger Morris&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my opinion Arlo Edwards is a calculating narcissist with a massively overblown sense of entitlement not to mention grievance that might be forgivable if he had artistic talent. But, as others have said above, nothing really justifies your accusing Edwards of knowing about, and perhaps participating in, child sexual abuse, Ms Elizabeth Brown... shame on you! However, and though it might be something you made up, the image of Arlo and Aaron laughing while drinking away charity money certainly does have a ring of poetic truth to it. I've seen them giggling together with apparent evil numerous times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Arlo was indeed very close friends, its true, for years with "Lorry", a likely kind of senario, in my opinion, is that while Mr Laurence was alledgedly carrying out depraved acts, Arlo was in the next room looking in the mirror, or waiting for praise on his Facebook page for posting something "brave" about this or that Big Bad Boogy Man (Yes, I am a FB friend of Arlo's - who isn't?). But where was the boogy man in REALITY, Arlo? Boom!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would not be surprised if a paedo-rapist had emerged from the basement of the Wellington art s&lt;strong&gt;c&lt;/strong&gt;ene, where a solopsist&lt;strong&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt;c, self-justifying moralism relating to the artist's social position in the world is commonly the only ethic &lt;strong&gt;a&lt;/strong&gt;t play, c.f., Roger Morris, the perfect example of an artist adopting a position of extreme subjectivity because he cannot accept his failure objectively. It doesn't take a genius to see how someone could go from "I am so special, an "artist", even &amp;gt;&amp;nbsp; the world fails to recognise my genius &amp;gt; the world is a con &amp;gt; so what's wrong with me conning "them" back? &amp;gt; hmm, what about other supposedly "evil" acts I'm not supposed to do&lt;strong&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No doubt Aaron is whinging like a wounded Arlo Edwards in his cell as I type this about how the world has put him in prison rather than recognise him for his superiour moral and artistic qualities.&amp;nbsp; Maybe Roger can take up his cause and claim the whole thing was a conspiracy instigated by Blackwater PsyOps? A bit of "gaslighting" to shake political artists' confidence and delegitimise their criticism of the War on Terror in the eyes of the public... but what public?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roger, is it within your power to make a painting of Aaron Laurence riding a white My Little Pony, leaping over the World Trade Center with Arlo Edwards at his side fighting off evil aliens with one of his toy lazer-pistols? Oh, that's right, you can't really draw faces, only angry and inept drawings betraying a demented child's understanding of international geopolitics. When you're done with the resultant mess maybe Arlo could stencil something lazily daft and predictable like Mickey Mouse or George W Bush with dollar signs for eyes over top of it. You never know, maybe they'll be an upsurge in interest in comic-naive art one day?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The world of comic book villains and those who believe in them aside, I would not be at all surprised that if out of the confused perverted soup of the unbankable, basement-level artist one or two more alleged deviants, real villains, were exposed. The art world has a moral problem that derives from its aesthetic problem, and vice versa. At the flushable end the stench is the strongest 'cause there ain't the cash and the smarts to disguise the smell. The lack of fame the artists that inhabit this space enjoy probably leads some of the worst narcissists among them to increasingly behave in ways that bring them notoriety in lieu of the fame they crave. Exhibit A: alledgedly, beloved art world insider Aaron "Lorry" Laurence.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bacon sandwich &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A bacon sandwich without sauce. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A bacon sandwich (also known in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and New Zealand as a bacon butty or bacon sarnie, and as a bacon sanger or piece 'n bacon in Scotland) is a sandwich of cooked bacon, often including ketchup or brown sauce, and usually served hot. The BLT is a popular variant of the bacon sandwich with the additional ingredients of lettuce and tomato. &lt;br /&gt;Bacon sandwiches are an all-day favourite throughout the United Kingdom. They are often served in greasy spoons, and are anecdotally recommended as a hangover cure. Australian hamburger shops sell a bacon sandwich, which is made much like a traditional Australian hamburger with fried bacon, fried onions, lettuce, tomato, tinned beetroot and barbecue sauce or tomato sauce. In some establishments the sandwich will be made from bread toasted on only one side, while other establishments serve it on the same roll as is used for hamburgers. In Toronto, Canada, peameal bacon served on a kaiser roll is a popular version of the sandwich. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;See also &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bacon portal &lt;br /&gt;Chip butty &lt;br /&gt;Sausage sandwich &lt;br /&gt;Cobb salad&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Scrambled eggs &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Scrambled eggs with bacon &lt;br /&gt;Scrambled eggs is a dish made from beaten whites and yolks of eggs (usually chicken eggs). Beaten eggs are put into a hot pot or pan (usually greased) and stirred frequently, forming curds as they coagulate. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Raw eggs are whisked to blend the egg white and yolk into a homogeneous liquid. Liquids such as stock, cream, butter, milk, water, or oil may be added during the whisking to create a softer texture. The amount of liquid added is typically about 2 tbsp (30 mL) liquid per egg. Salt, pepper, or other seasonings can be added to taste. &lt;br /&gt;The whisked eggs are poured into a hot greased pan and coagulate almost immediately. The heat is turned down to low and the eggs are constantly stirred as they cook. The pan and the stirring implement, if kept in constant motion, will create small and soft curds. The lower the heat and the more constant the movement, the creamier the finished dish. &lt;br /&gt;Once the liquid has mostly set, additional ingredients such as ham, herbs or cheese may be folded in over low heat, just until incorporated. The eggs should be slightly undercooked when removed from heat, since the eggs will continue to set. If this technique is followed, the eggs should be moist in texture with a creamy consistency. If any liquid is seeping from the eggs, this is a sign of overcooking or adding under cooked high-moisture vegetables.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other methods of preparation &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In this method cooking at low heat is desired and one needs to cook with a double boiler or au Bain Marie as the heating source, which will not need adjustment as the direct heating method would. One puts the eggs directly in the cooker and whisks during the heating and not before. Cooking by this method will prevent the eggs from browning while being cooked and will keep the scrambled eggs creamy. This method was used in the "old classical kitchen" and guarantees the eggs are always cooked perfectly, but it is extremely time-consuming. Scrambled eggs may also be made in a stove by placing the ingredients in a metal bowl and alternately cooking and whisking until the desired consistency is achieved. &lt;br /&gt;It is also possible to make scrambled eggs in a microwave oven, by cooking the beaten egg mixture for short bursts, stopping regularly to stir. This allows rapid preparation, but care is required to avoid overcooking and the resulting texture may be inferior to a more traditional preparation method. &lt;br /&gt;Scrambled eggs can be made easily sous vide, which gives a much smoother texture more similar to custard and requires only mixing once during cooking. &lt;br /&gt;Another technique for cooking creamy scrambled eggs is to pipe steam into eggs with butter via a steam wand (as found on an espresso machine).&lt;br /&gt;Instead of frequent stirring, the eggs can be flipped when one side is cooked, resulting in an omelette. &lt;br /&gt;It is also possible to scramble eggs directly in the pan by cracking the eggs then stirring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serving options &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Classical haute cuisine preparation calls for serving scrambled eggs in a deep silver dish. They can also be presented in small croustades made from hollowed-out brioche or tartlets. When eaten for breakfast, scrambled eggs often accompany toast, hash browns, pancakes, bacon, ham or sausages. Popular condiments served with scrambled eggs are HP Sauce, ketchup, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Variations of scrambled egg dishes &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;scrambled eggs &amp;agrave; l'arl&amp;eacute;sienne - with zucchini (courgette) pulp and a concentrated garlic-flavored tomato fondue served in hollowed-out courgettes and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. &lt;br /&gt;scrambled eggs &amp;agrave; l'am&amp;eacute;ricaine - with pan-fried smoked bacon, garnished with slices of broiled bacon and small grilled tomato halves.&lt;br /&gt;egg bhurji The Indian variant of scrambled eggs. Additions include onions, green chili, chopped ginger, turmeric powder and chopped tomatoes. Sprinkled with chopped green coriander and eaten with roti. Another variant of egg bhurji is the Parsi akuri.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soy scrambled eggs - mixed with soy sauce and often eaten with congee. &lt;br /&gt;scrambled eggs with sucuk or past?rma; Sucuklu yumurta and Past?rmal? yumurta respectively - Scrambled eggs are mixed with Turkish beef sausages, or dried cured beef. It is cooked in a sahan with butter or olive oil. Some tomato can be added. In Turkey and Egypt it is eaten regularly for breakfast. &lt;br /&gt;scrambled eggs with dig&amp;uuml;e&amp;ntilde;es - a variation from Chilean cuisine in which the eggs are fried together with the native fungus Cyttaria espinosae. &lt;br /&gt;migas - a Tex-Mex dish (not to be confused with the Iberian dish of the same name) consisting of scrambled eggs augmented with strips of corn tortilla, to which vegetables and meat may be added. &lt;br /&gt;Stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs - a very common main course in China. It is quickly and easily prepared, and so is a favourite among teens and university students. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Escoffier, Georges Auguste.

      <description>Recently I posted a commet in regards to the images of the Laura Marie Project and regarding Arlo Edwards perceivable false use of this image.  The comment suggested that Edwards was directly connected to the criminal actions of Aaron Laurence.  This assumption of such a connection is unfair to Arlo Edwards and I regret deeply this has been made.  This statement is therefore a formal apology to Arlo Edwards for making this comment and for any difficulty he may have encountered as a result of my comment.  My posting was emotive and fueled out of frustration from a history with Edwards that has clouded my perception of him.  Since the posting of the original comment; Edwards has receified his own error and has stated that the image in question was a flyer he had obtained and therefore was not his own promotional material from one of his own exhibitions (Edwards kindly participated in this art auction as a contributing artist).  Before making the regretable comment I had asked Edwards directly to rectify his error; Edwards was online at the time and immediately blocked me and took no action to correct this aspect.  As I could not enter into further dialogue with Edwards directly, this led me to behave in a way that was regretable and which I am sorry for - and to intern post an emotively fueled comment that proved irresponsible and unkind.  Arlo Edwards in no way should be associated with Aaron Laurences criminal activities and actions and I regret and am sorry that my comment percievable suggests this.  Sincerely - Elizabeth Brown.  </description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Baked bean" redirects here. For the candy, see Boston baked beans (disambiguation). For the song by Haircut 100, see Pelican West. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A dish of baked beans over scrambled eggs on toast. &lt;br /&gt;Baked beans is a dish containing beans, sometimes baked but, despite the name, usually stewed, in a sauce. Most commercial canned baked beans are made from haricot beans, also known as navy beans &amp;ndash; a variety of Phaseolus vulgaris &amp;ndash; in a sauce. In Ireland and the United Kingdom, a tomato and sugar sauce is most commonly used. In the United States there are multiple styles. Boston baked beans use a sauce prepared with molasses and salt pork, the popularity of which has led to the city being nicknamed "Beantown". Beans in a tomato and brown sugar, sugar or corn syrup sauce are a widely available type throughout the US. Maine and Quebec-style beans often use maple syrup. Canned baked beans are used as a convenience food, shortening cooking times for a meal, or may be eaten straight from the can, in camping or emergency settings, as they are pre-cooked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The beans used to make baked beans are all native to North America and were introduced to Italy in 1528 and to France by 1547.[citation needed] Beans, squash and maize were grown together by Native Americans and came to be known as the Three Sisters. The dish of baked beans is commonly described as having a savory-sweet flavor and a brownish or reddish tinted white bean once baked, stewed, canned or otherwise cooked. &lt;br /&gt;According to alternative traditions, sailors brought cassoulet from the south of France or northern France and the Channel Islands where bean stews were popular. Most probably, a number of regional bean recipes coalesced and cross-fertilised in North America and ultimately gave rise to the baked bean culinary tradition familiar today. &lt;br /&gt;While many recipes today are stewed, traditionally beans were slow baked in a ceramic or cast-iron beanpot. There's a tradition in Maine of "bean hole" cooking, which may have originated with the native Penobscot people and was later practiced in logging camps. A fire would be made in a stone-lined pit, allowed to burn down to hot coals and then a pot with eleven[why?] pounds of seasoned beans would be placed in the ashes, covered over with dirt and left to cook overnight or longer. These beans were a staple of Maine's logging camps, being served at every meal.[1] &lt;br /&gt;Canned beans, often with pork, were among the first convenience foods. Canned salt pork and beans with stewed tomatoes was supplied to the US Army during the American Civil War in the 1860s.[2] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration stated in 1996 that "It has for years been recognized by consumers generally that the designation 'beans with pork,' or 'pork and beans' is the common or usual name for an article of commerce that contains very little pork."[3] This is typically a piece of salt pork to add fat to the dish. &lt;br /&gt;[edit]United Kingdom &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Beans On Toast" redirects here. For the singer/songwriter, see Beans On Toast (band). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Beans on toast &lt;br /&gt;In the United Kingdom, the term baked beans refers almost exclusively to canned beans in a tomato sauce. Many people regard baked beans as an integral part of the modern full English breakfast, including beans on toast. Every day 2.3 million British people eat Heinz Baked Beans, 1 million of those people eat Heinz Baked Beans for their dinner. As the top selling brand of baked beans, historically the H. J. Heinz Company has become synonymous with them, although the growing popularity of other brands such as Branston Baked Beans, own brands, and HP baked beans (later purchased by Heinz), has reduced this.[4] Heinz Baked Beans were first sold in the UK in 1886 in the upmarket Fortnum &amp;amp; Mason store in London as an exotic import at a high price.[5] Although they are now a staple food, and arguably a downmarket one, the store continues the tradition of selling Heinz Beans among its more expensive wares. Up until the Second World War cans of Heinz Baked Beans were produced with a piece of pork - this was removed from the cans due to rationing and never made it back in again. &lt;br /&gt;Baked beans are also considered to be a staple food of students, as they are typically easily heated in a microwave and are very cheap. British supermarkets may sell store brand baked beans for less than thirty pence a tinned can[6] although some premium organic brands price at 79 pence[7] Baked beans are a classic example of a loss leader, a product sold by supermarkets for an abnormally low price, often less than cost. Baked beans have recently begun appearing in conjunction with other foods, such as a filler inside sausages[citation needed], as a sidedish with bacon, eggs and toast as part of a full breakfast, or as a pizza topping.[8] &lt;br /&gt;UK style baked beans are also popular in Australia and New Zealand. &lt;br /&gt;[edit]United States &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In the United States, Bush's (Bush Brothers and Company), Van Camp's, B&amp;amp;M (Burnham &amp;amp; Morrill Inc.), Allens, Inc., the H. J. Heinz Company, and the Campbell's Soup Company are well-known producers or brands of packaged baked beans. B&amp;amp;M specializes in Boston-style baked beans often sold in beanpot shaped jars, and canned brown bread, a traditional regional accompaniment to baked beans. Whereas Bush and Van Camp produce multiple flavor varieties of canned beans, some styles using cured bacon to add its flavorings to the products. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Three beanpots used for cooking homemade baked beans. The small one is glazed with the letters "Boston Baked Beans" &lt;br /&gt;In the New England region baked beans are flavored either with maple syrup (Northern New England), or with molasses (Boston), and are traditionally cooked with salt pork in a beanpot in a brick oven for six to eight hours.[9] In the absence of a brick oven, the beans were cooked in a beanpot nestled in a bed of embers placed near the outer edges of a hearth, about a foot away from the fire. Today, baked beans can be made in a slow cooker or in a modern oven using a traditional beanpot, Dutch oven, or casserole dish. &lt;br /&gt;In southern states and along the eastern seaboard of the US, the beans become tangier usually due to the addition of yellow mustard. For example the baked beans of Tennessee based Bush's include mustard in most of their varieties of beans. Ground beef may also become common alongside bacon in the home versions some of these bean styles. They may take on a flavor similar to Cowboy Beans, a home mixed stew, somewhat similar to a chili but made instead with sweet baked beans. &lt;br /&gt;Heinz baked beans became very successful as an export to the UK, where canned baked beans are now a staple breakfast food, in America the H. J. Heinz Co. continue to sell baked beans, however they are not always as widely distributed as competing American brands. Despite their international fame there are currently substantial differences between the Heinz baked beans produced for the UK market (descended from the original American recipe) and the nearest currently equivalent American product (Heinz Premium Vegetarian Beans). The American product contains brown sugar where the British beans do not, and the US product contains 14g of sugar per 16 oz tin[10] compared to 7g for the British version (equating to 140 vs 90 calories). The US beans have a mushier texture and are darker in color than their UK counterpart. This has resulted in a situation where the product is now imported back to the brand's home country. For several years, the UK Heinz Baked Beans have been available in the US, either in different sized cans from those sold in the UK or in a 385 gram can (the same can as the 415 gram can in the UK) with an "export" label with American English spelling and the word "baked" dropped from the title on the label. These are sold in many US specialty stores, such is the popularity of baked beans and their appeal to expats. &lt;br /&gt;Bush, Van Camp, B&amp;amp;M, and Heinz all produce pork-free baked beans labeled as vegetarian beans, making this American dish available to people who abstain from pork for religious, dietary, or ethical reasons. &lt;br /&gt;[edit]Elsewhere &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Home made Polish baked beans fasolka po breto?sku. &lt;br /&gt;Traditional cuisines of many regions claim such recipes as typical specialities, for example: &lt;br /&gt;In Iran, Loubia Garm (Hot Beans) is prepared using beans in a tomato sauce, often served in winter on stalls in streets. &lt;br /&gt;In Poland, with the addition of bacon and/or sausage these are known as Breton Beans (fasolka po breto?sku[11]). &lt;br /&gt;Jersey bean crock &lt;br /&gt;Boston baked beans &lt;br /&gt;Pork and beans, which despite the name often contain very little pork &lt;br /&gt;Guernsey Bean Jar &lt;br /&gt;Spanish fabada &lt;br /&gt;French cassoulet &lt;br /&gt;Feijoada &lt;br /&gt;Fasolada &lt;br /&gt;New England baked beans &lt;br /&gt;Quebec-style baked beans are often prepared with maple syrup. &lt;br /&gt;Bean-hole beans, traditionally from Northern New England and Quebec, cooked in a covered fire pit in the ground for up to two days &lt;br /&gt;British cuisine claims beans on toast as a teatime favourite, the combination of cereal and legume forming an inexpensive complete protein; compare rice and beans. Variations of "beans on toast deluxe" can include extras as such as egg, grated cheese, marmite, tuna etc., and baked beans sometimes form part of a full English breakfast. &lt;br /&gt;Beans cooked in barbecue sauce (or a similarly flavoured sauce) are a traditional side dish in an American barbecue. &lt;br /&gt;"Franks &amp;amp; beans", a recipe wherein hot dogs are cut up and cooked in the same sauce as the baked beans. In Canada, this recipe is more commonly called "beans and wieners". &lt;br /&gt;In Mexico and Latin America baked beans are also popular: black beans (frijoles negros) and pinto beans (frijoles pintos) are the most common. &lt;br /&gt;In the Balkans, they are known as prebranac. &lt;br /&gt;The traditional Jewish Shabbat dish cholent (also known as hamin) is made with meat, potatoes, beans and barley. &lt;br /&gt;Many unusual dishes are made with baked beans including the baked bean sandwich. These are slices of bread topped with beans and other additions, such as melted cheese. &lt;br /&gt;[edit]Health &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In 2002 the British Dietetic Association allowed manufacturers of canned baked beans to advertise the product as contributing to the recommended daily consumption of five - six vegetables per person. This concession was criticised by heart specialists who pointed to the high levels of sugar and salt in the product. However, it has been proven that consumption of baked beans does indeed lower total cholesterol levels and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, even in normo-cholesterolaemic individuals.[12][13] Some manufacturers produce a "healthy option" version of the product with lower levels of sugar and salt. &lt;br /&gt;[edit]Flatulence &lt;br /&gt;Baked beans are known on occasion to cause a considerable increase in flatulence following consumption;[14][15] this is due to the fermentation of polysaccharides (specifically oligosaccharides) by gut flora, specifically Methanobrevibacter smithii. The oligosaccharides pass through the upper intestine largely unchanged, and when they reach the lower intestine, bacteria feed on them, producing copious amounts of flatus.[16] This condition is the basis for the children's song, "Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit". &lt;br /&gt;[edit]References &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;^ Foodways Research: A Taste of Maine, Maine Folklife Center &lt;br /&gt;^ Conagra Foods &lt;br /&gt;^ New York Times article That's What and Beans?

      <description>I think you are wrong. There is a recession but its complicated and nobody notices it. Although money is a part of it, it has less to do with money and more to do with a money trail. This determines the direction most people face when they do something unified, like make art or eat meat. Then it comes back to simple misunderstandings for the sake of peace, which means that nothing is achieved just for the sake of saying less. Play = Freedom, but one cannot play in freedom. But you misinterpret me saying this as a fact. No, it is through me saying this that automatically art will dominate, because the whole may never lead. True peace is when this is realized and one sacrifices their mojo for the sake of art, so we can all live with the problem of existence.</description>

      <description>Hey art and the National Government go together as well as meat and fashion go together, that is certainly one factual truth. Hey look my eyes are closing in on each other? The muppets are funny and I enjoy looking in on reality and giggling to myself, yeah many out land country hicks would say "It's as good as a play", well that's correct and that is exactly what politics, church services and even art is, yup... a play! But you are wrong. There is no recession. That's what stage crews would call smoke and austerity has smoke blowing out of it's arse.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Quint, a self confessed societal actor is one thing, and giving into it is another. You need to seek a level stimulation to think without the 'quantum'. For your information it does exist, but it needs to be found first. Everything came to be like a muppets episode because it worked, that's something. I'm not sure that mixing up fragments of factual information about the National Government with art will get you there, if you were never there yourself.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>In addition to this, it is very difficult for me to go about in reality as a societal actor pretending to still be in the post modern mind frame state. Inside I am laughing as it is so hilarious how feeble minded arts &amp; culture in the real world is. It's like New Zealand is caught in some sort of 80/90s cultural gag reflex? And they seem to be going backwards? Having a funny farm National government in power right now doesnt help the 80s re-run feeling ...how did everything come to be like a muppets episode? If success in art does quantum with the state of the economy then hopefully these dopes in business will quit acting like thick slow to move sheep and peel the scab off this imaginary recession and begin borrowing again? Then I suppose post modern may finally get shown the door and this time for good ...hopefully?</description>

      <description>I think this is really clever "Clever people can only reach through this facade via immoral means, which in part is because the education system has brought it onto itself to be an irresistible baby sitter for the more complex sorts of 'future' minds. In a sense postmodernism has already resolved itself in reality, but nobody notices it until the illusion of 'success' of the old world becomes undesirable. In addition to this, not when the current 'intellectual' people who have interests in bettering the state of the future, challenge their own ideals, will education and intelligent thinking gain any kind of power" It's bang on. But I didn't much like the part later when you called me and my ideas rubbish?</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Well I think that at some point we must make a distinction between art and reality. I don't believe in overlapping the two, also not as a means of conversation. It is easy to waffle, but not so easy to see what is lost. For instance, simply by saying things like I support this or that may prevent the intended effect due to overlooked cultural side effects that far out weigh the intended promotional strategies of representation. Clever people can only reach through this facade via immoral means, which in part is because the education system has brought it onto itself to be an irresistible baby sitter for the more complex sorts of 'future' minds. In a sense postmodernism has already resolved itself in reality, but nobody notices it until the illusion of 'success' of the old world becomes undesirable. In addition to this, not when the current 'intellectual' people who have interests in bettering the state of the future, challenge their own ideals, will education and intelligent thinking gain any kind of power. If one were to compare it to an image of the future, it is practically a code now that if something works and feels good it is just wrong.  There is no 'less' to it, and your idea of a capitalist society that hangs on to money too much is utter rubbish. Society clings to life and/or whatever life suggests. While that is being used up as a means of conversation and communication, it is also being consumed forwards into the future, hence the 'clinging'.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>Capitalism creates a society that hangs too much on money. We all know this. Post Modernism is jammed because post modern art is forced into being a tradable commodity. And that is ok and nothing new too a point. In fact it's age old. People who exhibit some form of talent seem to stand above their fellow competitors. Thus more resources are attributed to them. Resources take many forms. Resources are things such as water, materials, of course food, immusements, children (useful for future survival in old age) and even wives too. Wives are indeed resources. Some of you may be disturbed to discover that I think that? People who display talent seem clever, although that may not necessarily be so. And it is possible to be clever in separate distict areas but other areas may be left lacking. Oh well, back to the point, Post Modernism has already been defeated, creativity is widespread, but education and intelligent thinking is still under threat nevertheless some human beings have restored sacred meaning in art and art can stand as a independent source of meaning meanwhile remaining tradable. Tradability does not affect art's sacredness. They are separate issues. </description>
