     Well, I have to say, Joe: you are a modern medical marvel! I went just
5 days in the White Mountains of New Hampshire without a stove and the
cravings I had were ... let's just say significant. I would suppose that the
majority of people are in a similar mold. Perhaps some medical person could
enlighten us on whether this craving for heated/cooked/fried/boiled food is
a learned response or something you're born with. If it is learned, can it
be unlearned? I would love to go without a stove!

Cheerio,
