[AT] OT--game changer

[Mike]

Hi Ralph,
Your Dad and Grandad didn't have isle after isle of highly processed 
food; food that you could get in the frozen section and microwave for 3 
minutes and have a "meal" on the table. I think that Mom shopped for 
groceries and prepared the meals from scratch, no chemicals, or 
preservatives needed.
