Wayne, you have beat this horse to death. That you have "No gas problem" is
good, well that you know of . You cited the article research a while back
but I still do not think you read it. You continuously cite the ambiguous
"we" as proof. For a "Learned" man, this is sure some "fuzzy science.

Please don't pretend you do not read this "cuz you Killfiled" me, you have
slipped up too many times responding since that. So If you can prove that
"Lard" helps other than by continiously repeating the myth , please show me
some proof conducted on or by someone other than "WE". It was not borne out
in the article's research or any other research, physically, chemically or
biologically. Beside do you think your Momma was the only one that use
lard, fat back, salt pork, or ham hocks to cook beans? It is like your
"tradition", it is only your take on it.
