Retired chairman of Oscar Mayer Foods dead at 95
10 hours ago
MADISON, Wis. (AP) =97 Oscar G. Mayer, retired chairman of the Wisconsin-
based meat processing company that bears his name, has died at the age
of 95.
Mayer's wife, Geraldine, said he died of old age Monday age at Hospice
Care in Fitchburg.
He was the third Oscar Mayer in the family that founded Oscar Mayer
Foods, which was once the largest private employer in Madison. His
grandfather, Oscar F. Mayer, died in 1955 and his father, Oscar G.
Mayer Sr., died in 1965.
Mayer retired as chairman of the board in 1977 at age 62 soon after
the company recorded its first $1 billion year. The company was later
sold to General Foods and is now a business unit of Kraft.
Mayer's first wife, Rosalie, died in 1998. He married Geraldine
Fitzpatrick in 1999.

I guess that goes back to the days when there was a 'Men"s side to the
pub. And draught was still 12oz.
The little woman was always happy to see Her Man come home with a
belly full of draught, horse-cocks and pickled eggs.
Nothing like a Dutch Oven... Bophal style.

I'm with you, for years avoided salt like the plague, then started
watching Emeril and the dishes he was preparing reminded me of my
youth.
No way you could prepare those dishes without salt and fresh cracked
black pepper, and as the man says, "Pork fat rules".
BTW, blood pressure is in the 120/70 area most days.

Angela runs a Heart & Stroke Prevention Unit at the local hospitals.
Until I met her, I loved hot-dogs. I even knew then that they were
made from pig lips, ears, nose and foreskins. That didn't bother
me...but the frickin' salt!!!! and the FAT!!!
Still, when in Toronto..those street vendors ... that aroma... that
mild sauerkraut..*drools*

Lew, you're more than welcome to pass the bison my way!
All I can figure is that it must have been either the cut or the way
it was prepared. The bison steaks and roasts that I've encountered has
been much like beef, both in preparation and, except for being a
little richer and sweeter, in taste.
But, we are in total agreement on the turkey. To paraphrase Will
Rogers, I've never met a turkey that I liked.

We didn't have a men's side in taverns in Quebec. Women were simply
not allowed. And draft came in 12oz. glasses @ 10 cents each & you
would get 2 or 4, ordered by putting up 2 or 4 fingers. So a quarter
would get you 24 oz. as you did have to tip the waiter a nickel if you
ever expected to drink in that tavern again.
This came to an end when the PQ created Brasseries so women could buy
draft beer too and taverns eventually all converted by putting in a
women's can.

We can thank modern medicine for that, not our diet. Simple things

you knew that.
Our life expectancy increased IN SPITE of our diet. Imagine if we took

I'd be hesitant to blame them. I'm sure they were hired for having the exact
same rigid qualifications that someone decided were necessary for that
position. Place the blame on someone higher up the food chain.

Those are good, although I usually get the sausage, but the sauerkraut

Then you've never had either one properly prepared. I've had bison several
times in restaurants, and I find it just as juicy as beef, and more flavorful.
Turkey cooked in a conventional oven *is* frequently very dry, but I haven't
eaten turkey cooked that way for thirty years -- not since I learned you can
cook them in a microwave. Takes about an hour and a half to cook a
fifteen-pound bird with stuffing. Moist, juicy... MMMMM!

Good article. Thanks for sharing. It does cast a different light on
the salt's influence on our bodies, but the bottom line is still the
same=96stay the hell away from that stuff as much as you can but don't
go nuts doing it.
One of Angela's friends, a rehab nurse, lets out those GASPs when I
sprinkle a wee bit of salt on either a fresh tomato or an egg... she
reacts almost as if I tied off my arm with surgical tubing then banged
a 10cc fit of Chine White into my veins.
It is all about moderation and balance and keeping an eye on those
mass-production-convenience-food bastards who do much better selling
you salt than actual meat/flour etc.
We are basic animals when it comes to our craving for salt and fat, in
fact, that's how we got here. It is when we introduced processed foods
and started messing with dairy products and bleaching flour that's
when we started getting vapour-lock and blowing veins in our heads.
The stats prove it.
Annnnd, it is not the 6-pack of beer that is killing people, it's the
horse-cock sausages and potato chips.... and of course pickled eggs,
but that's more an environmental issue.

[...]
In January of 2002 - right after 9/11 - a man was detected trying to slip a
"destructive device" (a "Ninja Star") aboard an aircraft at the Sky Harbor
airport in Phoenix. Preliminary investigation revealed that this gentleman
was responsible for bringing down 34 aircraft with the loss of life of
everybody aboard!
His name was Joe Foss.
Joe was the former governor of South Dakota, brigadier general in the
National Guard, for 24 years host of the TV program "American Sportsman,"
president of the American Football League, and former Executive Director of
the National Rifle Association. In fact, he had just left a board of
director's meeting of the NRA and was on his way to the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point to deliver a guest lecture on patriotism.
The "Ninja Star" he was carrying? It was the Medal of Honor given him by
Franklin Roosevelt for downing 23 Japanese aircraft during the battle of
Guadalcanal.
When told he could, nevertheless, board his aircraft if he simply discarded
this potential weapon ("In the pot, pops!"), Joe is reported to have said:
"You've done fucked with the wrong Marine, sonny!"
The only thing that could have made this more ironic would have been it
happening at Joe's hometown airport in Sioux Falls. The name of that airport
is "Joe Foss Field."

Turkey, definitely. Bison can be extremely variable from tough & dry
to absolutely superb, almost as good as moose. But the smokies are
probably 50% pork fat, so you don't need to worry about them being
dry.

I'd find it hard to come up with someone whose life had LESS meaning

Well you know what they say in Florida: What's the difference between
a Canadian and a canoe. The canoe tips.
On the other hand, we tend to tip like crazy in Cuba & give people a
bunch of stuff like the clothes of our back. I had to explain that to
fellow Brit & Italian tourists in our all inclusive resort. Go figure.

Here we get caribou and bison smokies, yum. And relatively more
healthy. The sauerkraut is good for you and anyway I am not convinced
about the salt is bad for you business: there is a genuine scientific
controversy there, unlike climate change or evolution. See

Hmmm. Maybe baloney isn't so bad after all. Think I'll go eat a corn dog.

DAWK! Don Martin was the greatest - Fonebone! I also loved the little
cartoons in the margins drawn by Sergio Aragones. Ah, the memories!

Wonder how old Geraldine might be?
Wonder if/how long he was bonking Geraldine before Rosy cashed in.
Wonder how happy the rest of the family was when the old coot re-married
at 85?
Wonder if he had some tight pre-nups?
Wonder if they'll hold up in court?
Wonder why I picture Geraldine as a 30-40 year old bombshell of a
"secretary"
Wonder why I even wonder all this crap?

These particular security guards should lose their jobs for stupidity above
and beyond the bounds of imagination.

I think the stats prove when all this crap was introduced, our life

I think living too damn long is what is killing people...
As for salt, your body is mostly salt water.... 2/3 salt water... wait,
that might be the earth? Anyway, I know your body is salty, last time I
sweated too much, it tasted salty... Has that changed?
