Yup........ and that George Washington Carver fella.
You may be on to something.... GWC is a major hero of mine, whose life I studied intensely from the 4th grade on. See my previous post. One of the things he did with peanuts and the their oil is derive various synthetics. You've made me think, could it be an over-exposure in our enviroment to these synthetics? Hmmm. Something to research further... And I mean real research, not just, "I surfed the 'Net and found this cool stuff."
