Yeah, yeah, yeah... I've read all that crapola too. Anyone can quote
web site theory... but that's often not reality. Anyway you've not
shown one bit of proof of what YOU do, your tons of canning... just
tons of running off at the MOUTH! Show me your garden, show me your
bushels of harvest, show me your kitchen, show me your kitchen in full
operation with many hundreds of pounds of tomatoes piled up, show me
your stash of hundreds and hundreds of canned goods. So far you're
just MOUTH!

You think anyone believes you put up six bushels of tomatoes, whaddaya
hire a boat load of illegals just to peel three hundred pounds of
romas... you're talking peeling a few thousand tomatoes.

You probaby don't own a pot to **** in let alone one large enough to
hold bushels.
