Everything User ID: 80628258 United States 12/03/2022 07:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This was happening in the US a few times but all they did was talk about it, older people didn't have money for food, but the cat food was cheapest at the time. They don't care about families being homeless after taking their homes because they can't pay the taxes on their family fully paid for homes, you don't own your own home if it can be taken for illegal Taxation without representation! Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |

I have yet to muster the courage to taste it. But a little salt can always make things better, right? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84294555 There is no harm in trying. It isn;t going to kill you fer fox lake. Soulless fake humans are already AI. They get triggered by particular words, symbols etc. They can't really bother about the meaning. They just look for the trigger words. Their language & comprehension skills are 0. Some bots have bods, others don't. Cara Is Spirit |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 81524645 United States 12/03/2022 07:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I worked in a meat packing plant one college summer, live animals to packages in the end. One of my tasks was to fill the pet food 55 gallon drum. There was NO meat. It was lungs, trachaeas, stomachs and some livers that had been damaged. The stomachs were bad enough, but the lungs, wow, imagine bad cow breath leaking out of them mixed with a bit of rotten fish as to how they smelled. The final task in filling the drum was to dump some black 'food grade' ink on the top of the barrel of the 'meat', to make sure it did not get mixed up somehow with the people food. Never, ever eat pet food, please believe me. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84673943 United Kingdom 12/03/2022 07:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cat food warmed on the radiator... yummm. Quoting: BFD Mark Seed now runs a community food project in Trowbridge, east Cardiff. BBC Wales analysis of new Census data suggests six of Wales' most deprived communities are in the city. A charity warns that struggling households do not just appear in areas long associated with poverty and policy needs to focus on people not places. Trowbridge lies in what Mr Seed calls an "arc of poverty" from east to west of the Welsh capital, with issues endemic in his area. "I'm still shocked by the fact that we have people who are eating pet food," he said. "[There are] people who are trying to heat their food on a radiator or a candle. "These are shocking kind of stories that are actually the truth." "Cardiff is a flourishing city however there are pockets of deprivation which are simply not acceptable." Deprivation drops, rise in foreign-born people Action urged to save lives in Wales this winter Cost of living impact like Covid - health boss Mr Seed said people were not being paid enough to afford the essentials, with the cost of living crisis pushing prices way up "so that everybody is squeezed or they just can't afford it". "What they are telling us is that they are working every hour they can," he added. https://twitter.com/_/status/1598269974065340416 When I was a kid we'd eat some of the animal fodder -- it was much cheaper than superstore food and perfectly fine to eat. We'd also warm our house to about 10-15C, walk 3 miles to get to the weekend job and TV was limited to 30 minutes after school. That was in Wales as well. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84161597 United States 12/03/2022 07:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Reading comprehension is not one of your strengths. This is about a city in the United Kingdom. The cost of living crisis in Western Europe was foisted on them by America after Biden occupied the Oval Office. America did not need to overthrow the elected government of Ukraine, nor did we need to pour money and weapons into Ukraine. This is all self inflicted. The US government is selling gas and oil to our European allies at four times the cost. I am thinking they may be re-evaluating their friends and enemies list. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80750446 They published this kind of crap in Australia too last recession, bottom line is it was still cheaper to buy some pasta & home brand large tuna cans in oil than the so called cat food they were buying qty wise. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84294555 United States 12/03/2022 08:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They probably do not have life skills. Even beans on toast is cheaper than pet food. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4058338 I picked up 4 cod and a big bag of chips for £5 two days ago. That could last me 4 days if I wanted 1 cod a day When you say, "Chips"... Are you talking about a big bag of ruffles or a bag of french fries? |

What kind of an idiot thinks that eating cat food it better than a much cheaper can of beans? You can make a giant spilt pea soup that will last a week for basically nothing. This is what happens when you don’t feed your children a variety of foods. Koala Girl |
