Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 11578 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky	Most of you probably, like me, tend to at least scan anything there is to read, even if it's the back of the same cereal box you've looked at every morning for the past week. This morning my eye fell on the can of nuts that someone had left on the table. The lid boasted, "FRESHLY HARVESTED", which made me wonder: how else would you harvest anything?

Jackie Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/15/00 Posts: 11578 Loc: Louisville, Kentucky	Oops--I erred. The lid says Harvested Fresh--a slight but possibly significant difference. Why--or how--could anything be harvested not fresh?
