Keep that in mind the next time your kids (grandkids?) want to set up a lemonade stand in front of the house. Sugar is expensive these days!

in all seriousness... my Dad was in the First Marine Divison in the Korean conflict at the infamous battle of the Chosin reservoir, the frozen chozen for those who know their military history. he said that he got to be pretty fond of rat but could never really figure out how to go about catching and eating healthy ones once back in the states. that's a delicacy no longer on his dining list
