Offers delicious chocolate chip (with top-secret ingredient) cookies
around.

Yep. Cause everyone is too stressed, and too tired, like some of our
group. (waves at Bull) (Tickle me Elmo? puh-lease)
This time of year is heralded by flame wars, or silly wars.

Hmmm.... While thinking of cookies, are the normal things (as I think of
them, in this day and age) like flour, sugar, chocolate, milk, yadda
yadda, still available to the general public in 205*? Or are we talking
soy-chocolate soy cookies?

(Yuck)

How... evolved? changed? hmmm... looks for a good word...

Great. Time to talk around a subject. I hate this... We have cooking
fifty years ago, very little additives and 'just add water' foods. Now, we
have canned everything, throw in the microwave and watch the sparks, and
nearly packaged everything. But the packaged stuff is still real food,
right? (I'm not even touching on Spam and Kraft dinner, I think those are
dodgy being classified as food...) What is food really going to be like in
fifty years? If we can get multi vitamins and supplements taht weren't
available fifty years ago, in fifty more years will we be able to buy
better supplements?
