LOL...
Could be, except it was only last week that I ate my first one ever.  You 
might recall that I stated that I don't have a sweet tooth.  I rarely eat 
fried foods.  Growing up, we had fish fries at least once a summer, but other 
than that, I rarely ate out and mother did not fry anything.  If I had fried 
chicken, it was a school lunch.  I was recently given a deep fryer and I am 
learning to fry things.  I made my first ever batch of fried chicken(home 
grown) last week, and made the fried pies with the homegrown apples to go 
with it.  I also fried some fish(local trout) and some okra(homegrown).  At 
least I am using canola oil, which is supposedly heart healthy.  Contrary to 
Fuhrman, I believe all things are okay in moderation..
You are right, diet is a personal choice.  We each do what we can do. My MIL 
has bouts of a-fib.  She takes coumadin and can't eat spinach or green 
veggies.   She takes rat poison, but doesn't eat veggies..it seems idiotic to 
me, but she's alive and happy, so what can you say?  To each his own 
practice, his own belief, his own fate.

Color TVs were sold with the same knowledge of human susceptibility.
Big football game time, here, take it home for the weekend, invite all
your friends in to see the game in living color. Well, okay, but just
to try it out.

Gotcha.
