I totally agree, gadgets are great for helping out the handicapped. I
only wish folks would say they're handicapped and to what extent when
asking for help with choosing kitchen gadgets, then they can expect to
recieve more appropriate suggestions... but why would a perfectly
normally funtioning person choose to handicap themself, that's
precisely what a food processor does, it's a crutch, you even concur...
and if you're normal and use one than in effect what you're doing is
mocking the handicapped. Would you send your kids outside to play with
grandpa's old pair of crutches, or grandma's old wheelchair, or to ride
around Walmart in the handicap scooter like it's go kart city, or play
with your deseased war hero brother-in-law's prosthetic arm... hey,
your kid can play Peter Pan, he can be Captain Hook... well by using a
food processor when you're normal you are teaching them it's okay to
make fun of other's misfortune. As far as I'm concerned a food
processor is in the same catagory to a cook as a hemorrhoid cushion is
to those addicted to Newsgroups. Hey, if you can't cook preparing
dinner is a PIA! hehe
