I imagine more people will be buying those again since KFC announced they no longer use partially hydrogenated fats for frying. What portion do you usually choose from the ...read more

    "The Subtle Sin Of Codependency"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jul 31, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,535 views

Our Church has begun a “Celebration Recovery” ...read more
