Rising Food Cost and Protein Alternatives

 


Have you been to the store lately? If not, take your barf bag with you because you’re going to need it. We went Saturday to Walmart and loaded up on beans that we will eat in the place of meat. First of all, we aren’t going Vegan. This is us trying to figure out how to have a fully rounded meal without breaking the bank. We got four twelve-packs of beans with each can costing $0.62 each. The mushrooms I got were $0.92 each they were not store brand. They are Pennsylvania Dutchmen. Kind of a high-end brand. That same four-ounce can will be about $2.29 at Kroger. We also purchased some seitan for $4.39 and tempeh for $3.99 to use in the place of meat at less than the cost of meat. We also purchased extra firm tofu for $1.89 per box and we got four. I plan on getting four more. You can’t buy meat for $1.89 per pound. I didn’t get the Kroger brand of kielbasa smoked because it’s damn good. 


With the cost of meat going up we are all going to be forced to consider alternatives. Let’s find them together instead of out there by ourselves. What are you doing to balance the rising cost of meat as your protein source? How far are you willing to push back against these bastards for jacking up the prices?

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
