On the contrary... if you'll review, you'll recall my explanation of the lip/rectum content changing in Hot dogs. This of course alters the overall fat content. Since Hot dogs are often considered the fifth food group on the East Coast, minor changes in their ingredients can have a ripple effect on society and its degree of health. If you cross-reference hot dog sales with weather patterns, you'll find that the colder winters are accompanied by poor 8 pack hot dog sales. The 10 packs are selling more, leaving the consumer less satisfied thus making trips to the refrigerator more frequently.

Doc is a Crock
It is indeed a pity that the lower rungs on the evolutionary ladder are often compelled to speak out when they cannot see the plain and simple facts displayed before them. Mother seems to be agitated that she has not received the expected response from the esteemed corner physician. Unfortunately, in this line of work it is more improtant to report the truth, rather than telling someone what they want to hear. In MOM's case, her sore throat is causing her distress and physical discomfort. She is unwilling to believe scientific fact, and chooses to believe old wives tales about gargling a known numbing agent in her area of pain to aid in easing the discomfort. She probably also believes that over-the-counter medications such as Chloroseptic would help, but that is not true either. Probably the most ludicrous of these beliefs, is thinking that consuming an abundance of low-sugar, vitamin-rich caffeine-free liquids, thus flushing the system and bringing about a speedy recovery. Nonsense, all nonsense.
