That might depend on your point of view. I'd also like to know, though...what is it? It looks a little bit like balls of doughnut dough that've been fried and covered with syrup. Am I even close?

@Dave Sinkula Just read the cato.org article. Very interesting. One quick question: The study mentioned the EPA classed second-hand smoke as a 'Group A Carcinogin'.
