    This has nothing to do with the fact that grass fed beef tastes nasty.
    I went to a Whole foods one time because i won a 100-dollar gift certificate at trivia.
    I believe I used the 100 dollars on less than 4 items.
    I gets my meats from Fred, my local butcher.

    Mario Bedolla has worked as a driver and clerk manager at North Pulaski Fresh Market in Chicago for more than four decades. Bedolla estimates that prices at his store have risen about 20% this year, and his customers aren’t happy.

    “They’ll come in and say, ‘What the f—,’” the 63-year-old said. “It happens all the time.”​

    I went to Costco recently and purchased a large chicken pot pie for $21. This meal easily feeds 6 people -- so we are talking about $3.50 per person.

    The food is so delicious that occasionally I give a couple of scoops to my housekeeping staff.


    GOOD DAY

    What a hilarious (and false) oversimplification of "welfare". There are SO MANY programs that are out there -- and many of them are being abused by illegals and non-working people. All paid for by our hard-earned taxpayer dollars. We need a reset on these program. Freeloaders need to get motivated to become productive citizens.


    GOOD DAY

    I would like to see some proof of what you are saying put some factual information behind what your saying.
