JL,
I don't know about you but "food for fodder" is a phrase I have known at
least, trying to be accurate, more than 55 years ie. since I am able to
remember almost anything.
I do not know where Gretchen who used to be an anchor woman - note the
usage - in Cleveland grew up but I learned it in southern Illinois where it
was used all the time.
