There are simple, $0.25 solutions for those walking abortions.

Didn't know that cartritdges cost that much now. It's just scary enough
knowing such places exist. 3 families living up on a hill for over a
century, quite interbred. It's bad enough I'm related to about half of the
people in one small county in Mississippi.

If I remember the population of that place, you'd need a whole box of
cartidges to fix that. 25 cents wouldn't take care of it. There must
have been nearly 100 people at the top of that little hill, no one further
than first cousin. With sadly predictable results.

Let's think about something better that happened in that area. Not too many
miles away is an Amish settlement that had a little store that sold
things.(They don't have the same problem.) My sister first discovered the
power of FRESH spices with pepper from there. She made her first dish with
the usual amount of pepper, like the store bought stuff she'd been using for
years and OH MY STARS was that pepper fresh, it turned out she had used
about 4 times too much. She's been using things like fresh pepper and
growing a lot of her own spices ever since. Then when Dad went on his
special diet 13 years ago, she got very creative in using spices to replace
things he couldn't have.

She hates the fact that the prepackaged food industry uses primarily 3
things to provide taste: Sugar, salt and fat. She has come up with a lot
of other ways to provide good taste. She blames the sugar/salt/fat problem
for a lot of America's health problems. We ended up making a lot of things
from scratch for Dad because he couldn't have any of those three things in
great quantity. Check a lot of your 'reduced fat' items, for instance.
They have more sugar and/or salt than the regular item. Low sugar items
usually have more fat and/or salt. I'm beginning to wonder if any of this
'health' food is any better than the regular stuff we've been eating since
the dawn of time.

Climbing off soapbox.
