[Sca-cooks] spice and rotten meat

[Aurore]

I got a theory.  It might have something to do with human nature of the
"gross me out".  We live to make each other sick and what better way than
for those that can't say we did or didn't do it.  The only ones are saying
different is the true history buffs that are saying out past didn't eat
rotten meat.  If only we could travel back to the past and find out the
truth.  Aurore
