No doubt but the difference is going into “Big Farm” pockets.

Time was, a man could feed his family from working in the tobacco field.

Now, you can’t get a white man(any American) in the fields unless it’s his own because the Mexicans will underbid whatever an American would offer.

So they quit and went on welfare.(Why rural Southern Americans are so damned fat, too)

Honeymoon Salad is a salad that contains nothing but lettuce.

As featured in NIGELLA SUMMER. An easy and beautiful recipe: first course before a plain roast chicken, a full-on dinner with next to no effort. NOTE be rather brutal as you tear off the lettuce from 1-2 icebergs. Then leave them in a sinkful of very cold water. They will arc into cups while you cook beef; drain well before piling on plate.

How much will it cost to provide K-12 education to seven million “anchor babies” at $12,000/year/child?

That’s why, at home, I eat only leaf spinach.
It’s leafier and is good for sailors.

Might as well feast on an exquisite Hawaiian Salad---just ignore Kilauea. Salad named after great Maui produce grown
on the island made by an accomplished chef at a popular restaurant. Diners loved it served with a herbed crostini.
