" The initial purpose was to create a cheaper substance to make candles than the expensive animal fats in use at the time. Electricity began to diminish the candle market, and since the product looked like lard, they began selling it as a food. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisco Graham

Our summers off from school were spent picking, cleaning, and canning or freezing, including meats. Mom stopped meats when the store bought became cheaper than the price on the hoof.

That area seemed to be the only place I could buy wooden spoons that were made well. /BAH

In about 10 years, making possesion illegal will become the "right" thing to do. That's how smoking outdoors became illegal. It was banned indoors; now it's banned outdoors.
