Yea, its getting harder to find though. Seems everyone is trying to make everything "healthy" which usually means it tastes pretty bad. :p

It scares me actually to think how willing some people are to turn over common sense decision making over to the federal government. For heaven sakes they cant even run the post office and make a profit and they are the sole provider for regular mail. :facepalm:
