I couldn't resist going out to my truck and picking a couple of mouthfuls of the stuff off the top layer (3" thick) to sooth my parched throat. Then I remembered that someone told me you should eat snow, especially in the city. I figured I drink the water from rain and melting snow cause I live in the country so -- what the heck Tis the morning after our 1st real dumping of snow in about 20 years.

Arsenic, Pesticides, Pharmaceuticals, the list goes on and on.. and people drink it, feed it to their babies.. So a little snow is hardly worse for you!

It's how their immune systems learn to recognise & fight germs. In countries where kids still play in the dirt, virtually nobody has peanut allergies or asthma. In the west we are basically killing our kids with cleanliness. Kids need to eat a small amount of dirt. It’s how their immune systems learn to recognise & fight germs.

You Will Need: a plastic container that is empty, clean, and has a lid a coffee filter or piece of paper towel a bowl a magnifying glass 1. Go outside and fill the container with fresh snow 2. Put the lid on the container and let it melt inside 3. After it has melted place and hold the coffee filter or paper towel over the bowl. Pour the melted snow slowly over the filter or paper into the bowl. Can you see dirt and stuff piling up on the paper or filter? If you can't tell, use the magnifying glass. http://library.thinkquest.org/3876/eat.html Every place is different, so to be absolutely sure, do this here little test and see. Today's world isn't the same as yesterday, therefore past standards do't apply. Here is an experiment to show how clean the snow in your city really is.

There are manufacturing facilities on the outskirts of my small town. Although there is no visible pollution in the air (can't see or smell it), I know from EPA reports that the air here is full of harmful pollutants. The article explains that snow flakes can gather these pollutants from the air. They are not made from "naturally purified" water. BTW, unless you have an allergy to dust mites, those dead skin cells in your pillow aren't going to hurt you - after all, they come from you! Don't get your point.
