And perhaps this is a good thing. Axel may be the next step in human evolution. He appears to thrive on junk food. Most interpretations of natural selection would preclude such a speedy adaptation to junk food, but given the trend it will happen sooner or later. ;) Perhaps Axel is the "Einstein" of the nutritioal forefront. ;) Cheers, Kirt Secola /\ Nieft [log in to unmask]
