Ditto.

You are both fortunate, in that you have a choice.

Someone's forcing you to eat Spam? That's against the Geneva convention.

You are right about that... We should be thankful.

I agree with you that we are lucky to be able to eat better food than that. However I do believe that if money is tight there are cheaper healthier alternatives than SPAM. The humble potato being one example. With a couple of potatoes one can do so many things, and much cheaper than a can of spam.

I am not trying to be a smartass Wen, some of the guys n girls I deal with cant boil water. One of the things I do, when they come to us is teach them basic life skills. These guys dont know their 5x tables, they haven't a hope of doing a budget.They see a can of spam, corned beef etc, as a healthy alternative to Mackas, and get it with the "5 finger discount".One girl last week was very proud that she stole an apple instead of chocolate.

I will send you an email re this topic.
I know you are not being a smartass and I do understand where you are coming from. It is very sad for some of these kids and it is not a subject to be glib about.

There is hardly any protein in potatos, if it wasn't for spam we'd have lost the war

Spam, spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam.

1937 sounds about right. Some of the elderly folks in my family remember eating Spam during the war.

Maybe we should look at the bright side: At least the only spam they know of contains some protein
