Dog meat might become an American staple similar to some Asian countries. The housing crisis has led to a record number of dislocated pets at animal control kennels in our area.
Amen brother! Especially when you stop buying pre-made, cardboard tasting products and just buy the staples. There isn't any difference in "quality" between name and store brands when it comes to the basics. I've read that a lot of this stuff comes from the same factories too. There's not generally a ton of difference with oatmeal, flour, sugar, frozen veggies, ect. Not much a corporation can do to "improve" these staples, which are still relatively cheap. Let's all stop buying the junk that corporate America feeds to us like so much Soylent Green. Rediscover the joy of cooking healthy, delicious meals from scratch, plan your menus carefully to eliminate food wastage and recognize what soda has become...chemical sewage that is slowly poisoning us all with High Frustose Corn Syrup or Aspertame. I've adopted these stratagies and we're eating better than ever before and our grocery bills have gone down saving us over $100 per month. In addition we've almost completely eliminated eating out, saving even more.
Live Simple, Live Free!
