I don't post much but I read this group daily and appreciate the
generally civil tone. I hope it stays that way after everyone has a
nice cup of coffee to chill out. I am confused about the reference to
PITA. Isn't that an animal rights group? -:)

Sorry for the bad pun. Just be thankful I don't post much.

I shall show my vegan friend this. He refers to me as a corpse eater. I must
say he keeps an excellent vege garden in the summer and is a very good cook.
Dinner at his place would not be turned down.
