Is one leg more important than the others? I've sat on a one legged stool before. The fact yours has three might be a cute argument but is of no consequence to the discussion at hand.

That and tobacco. There is already talk in my state to make possession of tobacco illegal. Fat won't be far behind. You should realize that anything that might be harmful will be taking this route.

I'm not sure, but I think you have to use a lot less lard than Crisco. Its been over 40 years since I watched my grandmother at work at the wood stove in her farmhouse in Kentucky. About the only thing they bought was flour and salt, everything else they ate came from their fields. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it.
