Oh Spring

Not yet. Snowed in. What to eat? Luckily I shopped yesterday in anticipation of the storm.

On average we in the US according to statistics spend about 17% of our income on food. Much of the third world spends 50% to 80% of their income on food. We are blessed and we are spoiled.

Food costs are rising even for us partially because of the corn based ethanol industry. Also because of increasing worldwide demand for meat, much of which is grain fed. China and India are involved in this.

Venison is being pulled from foodshelves in Mn and other states because of lead content in the meat. It remains to be discovered whether there is a health risk. Will more of us be arrowing our deer in the future? We could shoot deer in the head, too, to reduce risk, I suppose.

Snowed in and continuing, the world obscured by this chowder of snow, even the small island out front, the big one too, and the peninsula to the south. Delicious.

You can eat all day if you eat the right stuff. I will tell you about it later.
