Genny Red, on the other hand, has the right balance of flavor, non-complexity, and cost to get a thumbs up from me. As for Yuengling, I don't want that Porter mixed with anything, thankyouverymuch! Porter or the Amber ale works for me. We'll have to do a taste-test some time, Mike. As for what is fed to babies, it should be remembered that for a couple of decades in the middle of the 20th century, the "professionals" and "experts" told us that bottle-feeding was *better* for infants than the "old-fashioned way". The newfangled "formula" and all the attendant apparatus was "scientific" and "progressive", they said. Of course it took a whole pile of hardware (bottles, sterilizer pot with lid and bottle rack, nipples, nipple rings, seals, bottle tops, tongs) the formula itself, and a kitchen to do all the processing to do what "the old fashioned way" did semi- automatically. I'd be remiss if I did not add that in Ireland, New and nursing mothers received Guiness Stout even while still "in hospital", as it is considered to have many good health effects. While the more Baptist among us might be aghast at such a thing, I suspect there might just be a bit of wisdom in that. More than "a bit"... The "old-fashioned way" was put down as being vaguely third-world, Luddite, "horse and buggy" and inferior both physically and psychologically. Moms who tried to keep the old ways met with resistance, opposition and insults. Quite perverted, that! Mid-20thcentury US culture could be hilariously funny, too. Check out: http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html particularly the "regrettable food" section. After all, the "professionals" and "experts" knew best, right? As if! Snort Yet some of them, even today, will tell us that they know how ham radio should be, even better than we hams do. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
