“We won’t be knowing the recipes,” Jones said during a telephone interview from the state capital, Austin. “That’s sacred ground as far as I’m concerned and I don’t think that’s at all the direction we want to go in.”

A cloak of "sacredness" and good intentions is the very essence of a good scam. A spokesperson who smiles sweetly, has no conscience and says God has ordained it ~ they're definitely diggin in.
