For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Your comments, if true, can lead to only one conclusion - the individual at the Maryland Food Bank lied today about receiving and distributing the cleaned geese. Yet you admit you never spoke to them. Sorry, but I find your comments troubling at several levels. I believe the ENA Committee may be basing decisions on misinformation rooted in emotions, not valid research. |
