Laughing burns a lot of calories. You're going to need some protein.
Do you like sushi?

You see? Not everything in connection with this financial debacle is ALL bad!!

Yes, I'm an artist (paint) who self taught digital graphics years ago. Thanks for the compliments!
I'm getting hungry posting these and I have no Spam!
Rack of Spam was a real winner at the Hicks cookout in RI a few years ago.

Upper left- shredded pork (kalua pig)
Upper right- macaroni salad
Lower left- Teriyaki Chicken
Lower center- Steamed White Rice
Lower right- Lau Lau (Taro leaf stuffed with either fish or pork)
Spam and hot dogs piled on top
That's about a 4000 calorie lunch, and Hawaiians eat them on a regular basis. More Spam is sold in Hawaii than anywhere else- a favorite K-Rat item brought back from the Nisei 100th Bn and 442nd RCT who fought in North Africa and Europe during WWII.

I like SPAM. It's especially good sliced and grilled with a couple of fried eggs and toast. I like it with waffles, too.
Guess I should buy it once in a while!
BTW, I also saw a Velveeta commercial on TV yesterday.

The basic gist of this argument in the Times article is bogus. They are trying to point to increased Spam sales as a sign that Americans are struggling to put meat on the table. This is BS. As stated in their own article, Spam sells at $3.20 a pound. There are plenty of fine meat choices out there that sell for $3.20 a pound and less - just about everything, in fact (except T-bones, beef tenderloin and fillets).
Sales of Spam are increasing for one simple reason - we are a fat, lazy, unhealthy country overall. We like junk.

Sales of Spam are increasing for one simple reason - we are a fat, lazy, unhealthy country overall. We like junk. Sales of Spam are increasing for one simple reason - shelflife. People suspect that a time is coming soon when that $3.20/lb meat will unaffordable or unavailable due to supply line disruptions.
Hard times a comin' - stock up and prepare to hunker down.

“Hard times a comin’ - stock up and prepare to hunker down.”
I’m not ready to build any bunkers yet.
We’ll survive this latest hiccup, just like we survived Clinton.
...plus, wait ‘til you have to adjust your eyes to the light after four years underground. That’s gonna hurt.

Actually all food processing companies are doing rather well.
People are not going out to eat to save money but they still have to eat so it is a good business to be in during a downturn.

Mag, I've been prepping since Gulf War I. If nothing really bad ever happens, the residents of Fort Meow can live in total comfort and security through any hurricane, ice storm, terrorism, trucker strike, influenza outbreak, bad tummy virus, democratic administration or wacky civil riots.
Yeah, I'm paranoid and crazy, but my family has no worries. Because they know Mamma Cat is paranoid and crazy. And I DON'T stock Spam.
