    Like all in life, those with spendable funds, will protect themselves in the event. The rest will not survive is how I see it, I'm keeping more cans of beans coming in.

    As noted in hundreds or thousands of threads, posts, sites, and alternative whistle-blower news reports,

    everything is going according to plan then.

    If it is certified organic it shouldn't have any GMOs, but almost all soy sold in the U.S. is GMO. Some of the food "nuts" don't pay attention. They avoid high fructose corn syrup because it is ~55% fructose, but adore agave syrup which can be up to 85% fructose. Canola and wheat also are almost all GMO unless labeled organic, but it doesn't make much difference with the oils (soy and canola) because there is no protein in the oils, or so say the experts.

    The quantities are correct, but not all protein, iron and other nutrients are necessarily equivalent. From what I know, we are designed to be omnivores, not vegans or carnivores, based on our digestive systems. Our needs also vary greatly based on age.

    I saw that info back in the late 80s/early 90s when I was a member of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. They put out a monthly Nutrition Action Health Letter (it was very informative reading.) It does consume an amazing amount of water & resources to grown/harvest/transport food that is then consumed by cattle (which require a lot of water themselves) to then process them for human consumption.

    ...and these things are always devoid of any mention of lifestyle. All this COVID temperature-taking instigated observations of 98.6° not being "normal" anymore because our metabolic rates are slowing down (I would assume it's due to our sedentary lifestyles), so our average body temperature is dropping.

    I think their costs have gone up. I don't think that extra $6 is profit.

    It's all of it, price increases to them and the losses they encountered with the
    criminal lockdowns. How so many have stayed open is beyond me and so many
    have closed down.

    Boars Head brand is high quality and I've been buying it for some yrs and price is 10 or 11/lb. Today a friend brought me a 1/2 lb and the Biden price is now $15/lb. I just about chocked.. That's the end of Boars Head for me.

    Can't help wonder what would it be if Trump were still in charge.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
