Keyword...Fresh. Not processessed to within an inch of it's existance. Might not taste the same, but by Jove, it's better for you.

I have learnt over the years that the things that taste the best or the things that make life seem grand in one way or another are always those things that are not so good for a person. And, I have also learnt not to care about that fact.

If you can get escorted on to any base, i.e. ask paul, all american military bases have taco bell on them.

Ok, got a bit off-topic now..^^'
btt:
I can't answer your question Richard, but another thing that confuses me a bit in this context, on the train they say "soon, we will arrive at ..station". The textbook and teachers say "will" is for sudden decisions, "going to" for sth. planned in advance. So was it a sudden decision that that train stops where it stops? I though they had planned it long in advance, but maybe I was wrong

No, each train driver is given carte blanche. They choose where to stop deciding purely 'on a whim'.

So that's why those fast trains never stop at my station!

Better than "By Cthulhu!" and much easier to spell.
