[Magdalen] Eliminating sugar?

[Jay Weigel]

Nope, it's hand-cranked. Most of them are. It's great fun. They do leave an
end and a core but you can toss those out for the wild critters (I do) or
put them on the compost heap. I think either the raccoons or the possums or
maybe the rabbits eat them....anyway they don't last long. I make sure to
toss them far from the house.
