Its like saying don't get a paper, just pick a piece of wood!? Or why buy bread, if you can pick wheat? Ama you just touch a cow and the miok, gets into you via osmosis nkt These are STDs of the head; soon someone will suggest we get rid of flours and cooking oils et al because you can eat maize and sunflower seeds
