Well, I'll be darned... never thought of it like that. I suppose they believe they are justified... since I'm not able to eat normal food like a normal person, I must pay for what's recommended, whether I like it or not. Since I'm not paying for regular food, I still get to deduct it from my family's grocery bill... this chaps my rear! Big time! I realize by virtue of being on this site, I have other concerns on which to focus, but as a matter of principle I think it is BS, and I have every intention of carrying this as high as necessary to get some sort of resolution... oh well, I could bitch and bitch, but I've better things to do... like talk to you guys for one.
