Here is the posting I made, in its original (unedited) form:

My reference in that posting specifically addressed
the question of whether there was such a thing as
"a food grade version of propane/butane". Clearly,
there is, as supported by that reference and others.

The source of your confusion is that Steve
edited out the part which made it clear which
question I was answering in that posting. That's
the sleight-of-hand he used.
