Okay, I'm going to interact with your opinion: it's based on a mountain of lies and fallacies and that's why you're being downvoted. > There used to be a time when we as a society valued things like self-control, disc

Trust me, the only people with pre-birth control nostalgia are misguided men who are still alive because a) they didn't die in childbirth and b) don't have to have a period every month. I suppose you think that life before the pol

I don't usually post, but please don't use a pressure cooker for canning as it can cause botulism if the food isn't sufficiently acidic. The only safe way to can non-acidic foods is with a pressure canner, not a pressure cook
