[Leica] Proper Peanut butter??

["Aram Langhans" <langhans@yakima-wa.com>]

Oh, my goodness, Nathan.  Here in the US of A it is hard to find that great
peanut butter made of just peanuts and salt.  Adam's Old Fashion is the BEST
peanut butter I have ever tasted.  Mix it up, put it in the refrigerator and
enjoy.  After years of Skippy and Jiff garbage it is great to taste peanuts
rather than sugar and who knows what else.  Now that we have been eating
Adams, I hate going back to that other stuff.  It is like spreading sweet
lard on bread.

WalMart has messed up so many rural American towns it isn't funny.  They
build a large WalMart in every town, even though they are only 15 miles
apart separated by miles of farmland.  There is no way that the local
population can support so many stores.  Then, after they have driven the
local businesses out of business, they close all but one of the stores and
leave the other one open.  They killed the other towns.

I have seen it done just down the road from where I use to live, and I have
seen reports on news programs like 20/20 or 60 minutes that documnets this.
They may be fine in the large cities, but they are killing rural America.  I
didn't realize they were in Europe.  They are the last place I would ever
shop.
