Cut. Always have been, so I don't know any different and am fine with it.
I will propose to you a completely different scenario, which I believe has some truth to it, at least regionally.
Everyone I know is cut, everyone I went to school with is cut. We aren't all the same race, or religion. Therefore I think is was something pushed by the doctors and hospitals. "Oh, yes Mr. and Mrs. ... it a good idea to have it done for medical reasons."
And everyone makes a couple hundred bucks more.
Same deal when I was 5. I had my tonsils out, everyone I know had there tonsils out.
I believe every 5-10 years the medical profession decides, "hey lets teach every surgeon how to do ??? surgery, and next thing you know, everyone need that particular surgery, or medical procedure.
You might be laughing at this, but I honestly do believe there is some truth to it.
Certain doctors, clinics, or hospitals always push certain procedures.
