@benroyce I really like such historical perspectives. I also like the part of Plato's Laws where he says that the rich shouldn't have more than 4 times what the poor have otherwise social unrest will follow. He said it more than 2000 years ago.

Reminds us that progress is not inevitable, but is a constant struggle. In some ways, we actually regressed compared to some previous civilizations

@danirabbit Bacon is great because it adds a lot of flavor even when used in small amounts.

Bacon should not be the main part of a meal; it is a spice.
