Over here, we've had a large increase in domestic violence deaths, car accidents, etc. Not to mention that deranged man who killed his three daughters with plastic bags over their heads.

She gets their throwaways 2x a week, while another gal does 2x a week and one gal does once a week. They each get a full pallet of fruits and...

    Oh, I cannot comment on your process. Gives me shivers to read how you did it. And yes, way too much fat for proper sealing and long term storage.
