Depends on which side of the ledger shows the greater profit. I find
it hard to follow all the money grubbing like it's a contest. As long
as I have enough sheckels to take care of me and mine that's all I need,
want, or desire.

I still have the appetite. But, I find that my "eyes are bigger than my
stomach" more often than not. These days I eat a hearty breakfast and a
seconf meal later in the day. Living basically single I find that a pre
made/frozen entree like "Healty Choice" or similat satisfies my hunger
without carb-loading me. Most of their entrees are in the 12 - 13 ounce
range.

True, that. And Janis Kracht who also passed recently (per Shawm's e-mail)

Another one that's not Kosher but sure does look good.
