I figure what I'm trying to do is direct her to some decent resources, for
just that reason. I liked the style of her rebuttal for the "bad old days"
thing, and am hoping to direct her to plenty of information for the "rotten
meat", but as I said in my other message to you, I'd very much appreciate
direction to any opposing opinions and evidence from the MA, so that she
might give it a fair assessment.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
