it does seem unlikely that Jesus would have worn a cross

I was a food buyer for a major chain in the 90's when all that factory fabbed food-service crap started replacing home-made ingredients and products for service delis in grocery stores. Shortly thereafter the same products started showing up in restaurants and predictably restaurant food has been in a downward spiral ever since. That's because “cost savings” of course. A buyer has to justify his “cost of goods” numbers and the easy out is always buying cheap stuff cheaper. I can think of dozens of restaurant chains we won't eat at any more because the food is so bad-I'm sure you can name them off the top of your head. When you get a decent-to-good restaurant meal it is because they are actually making food from actual ingredients on site instead of slopping your meal out of a #10 can or a MAP packed tray and heating it up and throwing it at you. We don't even go out to eat any more and on the rare event that we do, we always shoot for a little mom n' pop type restaurant with cars in the lot. Still no guarantee, but it will get you started. Also-internet review sites are no value. I've had some horrible meals at places that people on the internets “jost luvved!!!” Now you know the rest of the story as to why most restaurant food is so terrible now.
