Hi Ken, I think I managed to send an empty message a minute ago - beginner's luck. Yes, I figured fats had been discussed before - I will search the archives. It's a good thing you reminded me that olives are fruits - I should have known since I actually had the honor of picking olives on a kibbutz in Israel many years ago. Thank you. Nice to meet you too.
