BBQ brushes can be a health hazard

[illbill]

<snip>TORONTO -- When it comes to the paraphernalia of barbecuing, they're as ubiquitous as charcoal briquettes, propane tanks and burger flippers. But those wire brushes used to clean the grill can be potentially deadly -- and in the most insidious way.<snip>

2. If you have pieces of wire stuck to your grill rack, then you're not

getting it very clean.

Who uses wire brushes to clean their grill anyway?

I use soap, water, and possibly steel wool when I clean mine.

There was an interesting study conducted at Cornell. They started out analyzing the life-span of smokers and they calculated the amount of time that smokers smoked a day. They compared that to the decrease in life-span attributable to smoking and concluded that every minute a person smokes, it costs them, on average, seven or eight minutes of life.

Then they expanded the study to meat-eating and its mortality statistics, and they worked out how much time a meat-eater spends eating meat.(laughter) Anyway, their analysis was that every time a person eats meat they lose eleven minutes off their life-span.

Sorry...I just noticed this was your 666th post. :evilgrin:
