    “The gasoline additive ethyl is perfectly harmless to humans.” Thomas Midgley, ca. 1925, inventor of tetraethyl lead and CFCs.

    Oh Jean, that is priceless.I wonder how many of food additives will fall in the same category in years to come.

    Yeah…I love the fact that Midgley not only invented tetraethyl lead but also CFCs. It took years of protest to get both of those substances out of the marketplace. I learned about Midgley in a book by Bill Bryson called “A Short History of Nearly Everything”.
