howdy back again @headchange! that is a very interesting theory about our food supply. sounds like Frankenfood but you are probably more correct than I'd like to think about.
No I never researched the life span of the Amish, have you?
My impression is that they don't live any longer than anyone else because of their diet being so loaded with sugar. They put sugar in EVERYTHING!
it's the only terrible thing about the way they cook. even their wine, as delicious as it is, is way too sweet and loaded with sugar.
thank you so much for your thought-provoking comment, very much appreciated!
