David, can you really get too cynical? Cynicism comes with age. Since I'm an old fart, listen to my story. Many years ago someone had the bright idea that we could fatten animals quicker if we fed them concentrated calories in the form of vegetable oil. Oil has three times the calories of the complete carbohydrate vegetable. Contracts were made to produce millions of tons of soy beans, corn etc. Animals were fed 40 % of their ration as oil. Eureka, they gained weight very fast. However, after a few weeks they died. Now, no farmer in his right mind would continue to feed his animals this to have them die on him. In steps marketing. "There is no evidence that it is harmful to humans". So they made margarine, salad dressing etc. and with proper advertising "It's good for you" salvaged the contracts. So now we have a population of sick people that are tired, depressed, and a host of other problems. Guess what? Since almost all have this problem, it is considered normal. The saving grace is that few make oil 40% of their diet. A Ph.D. chemist I worked with told me "They should keep chemist away from food". I agree, but I'll add "salesmen". How sad! Did I say I'm a cynic? Carl Meyer Assoc.
