Good Morning.
I am new to the group and love reading the thought streams the show up.

I felt compelled to comment on the matter of microwaves.
In our family we do not use a microwave. We never have and we never will. I understand, in our fast food nation, that the invention of the microwave oven was to decrease the time of food preparation. 
However, as most "good" things, there was not a long term study done on humans who eat the food cooked in a microwave oven.

Here is an article that I found interesting
http://research.jsc.nasa.gov/PDF/SLiSci-7.pdf

What does the group feel about the above research in respect to microwave use for food?

Money is like manure.


If you spread it around, 


it does a lot of good,


but if you pile it up in one place,


it stinks like hell.
