Food shortages are here and getting worse.

[GeorgiaPeachie]

Two things cited in the article: reduced consumer demand (cutting back) and a looming expectation of a recession.

I just read that this morning. It notes many more companies who are going to lay off workers. We are well into the PLANNED TAKEDOWN of our economy and therefore, country. Be alert, but not fooled with what they have coming next. Blessings to everyone!

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

Something else doesn't add up...

"Consumers are cutting down on lavish foods, and non-essential spending as essential bills and food are rising weekly. These companies are trying to conserve as much cash and profits as possible, as the economy still hasn't bounced back from the COVID-19 pandemic."

So when did CHICKEN become a lavish food??

Since the mother WEFers told them we should eat bugs and worms instead of meat!

As a side note, I think I mentioned this, but several weeks ago, there was a big hen theft spree a few towns over.

We must all take the necessary steps to secure our animals now folks! Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you won’t be targeted. Everyone with small, valuable animals are already a target!

I actually tried some of the plant based meat out of curiosity. I would compare the market for it to the market for the Chevy Bolt. They really want to drive a Tesla, but they can't afford it (a healthy vegan diet is very expensive) so they buy what they can afford.
Nobody will honestly like it, but some might fool themselves into thinking they like it because they are "saving the planet."
Kind of like why many people claim to like kale (but to be fair, I will assume some people actually do like munching on stainless steel scouring pads.)

I... I love kale.
Lettuce is just too wimpy and slimy for me.

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

Joining right in with loving kale!!! Lettuce just doesn’t keep either.

I am one of the weird people. I love salad and vegetables. I love meat too though.

LOL. I'm an omnivore...I like both.

 

[Cindyd]

Love kale! And real meat..No thanks to any plant based "meat"..

 

[Mountain Dragon]

Plant based meat = beef?

 

[Oddcaliber]

Not a chance.

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Just got back from Costco. Zero of Impossible or Beyond. Did have a veggie burger in the frozen patty section. Guess you got to satisfy the fruits and nuts.

 

[Amish Heart]

Not eating fake meat. I can do without kale, too. But love spinach and good lettuce.

 

[DrHenley]

FYI: My wife and daughter love kale, so I was just joshing about it. (But I do honestly think I'd rather eat Johnson grass)
Most other greens I am fine with. I sometimes just have a spinach salad for lunch. I love spring mix. I even like iceberg lettuce (both my mother and my daughter would look at me funny when I said that)
I have been known to order a portabella mushroom sandwich because it sounded more appetizing that any of the other sandwiches on the menu.

 

[Cindyd]

Sometimes I make portobella mushroom burgers...they are good...throw them on the grill..

Sooo "meaty"!

I powder kale and my daughter and SIL use it in their smoothies. I use it in the dog supplements.

 

[DrHenley]

Every time my wife tries to sneak some kale in on me, I notice. She knows not to even try now.

 

[Mountain trapper]

No fake crap here. I eat meat 3 times a day every day of my life. I do throw in a salad once in awhile.

 

[user 7704]

Arctic, I like Spam in salads

 

[Mountain Dragon]

We do have here an salad, my favourite:
Sausages cheese salad.

A Spam omelet is good too. When we're snowed in for more than a couple weeks, and we're out of bacon, I always have Spam to fall back on. Spam is a lifesaver.

 

[Oddcaliber]

I keep a lot of Spam in my pantry!

 

[Cindyd]

I have more spam put back than I can count....put it out there with Bubba Gump shrimp...
How many ways can you have spam...let me count thy ways! All good!

I really wish we didn't have so much Spam. Seems like everytime we go Hunny grabs a couple more. . . I may just be very happy at one point.

Last I looked it has a 5 year shelf life

More like a 15 year shelf life, it's best within 5 years.

Unless the can gets compromised it will outlast us.

I went crazy and ordered microwave pork rinds. I hope the electricty stays on or I'm in trouble. 1 carb and 30 grams protein, 90000000 grams sodium

For quite awhile I couldn't find any flavors of Spam except plain. Still can't. They blame it on the China flu. So I've been smoking the plain Spam and it comes out really good.

The ones we used to buy were pretty good. Hot out of the microwave.
