That idea was widely assumed and widely propagated in the 70s in the US - to shame poor people more than anything. There may be some who eat cat food or have had to. I don’t think there are as many as suggested. Most would try to come up with anything else. Food insecure people, nowadays, tend to buy from the dollar store where I live - there’s a lot of junk food but also soups, beans, noodles, tuna. And they visit community kitchens and such. At one dollar store, every individual item is $1.75.
Make sense. I tend to forget dollar stores have food items other than snacks since I tend to be looking for other things when I visit them (e.g. a kind of hand wipe Mrs. M likes that is sometimes available in them).
They’ve got decent brands at a few. Dollarama is more like the $2-5 store but still has decent stuff. Brand name dry goods, juice and soups, cereal, salad dressing etc good quality soaps and detergents and bathroom stuff. But also lots of candy and junk food - hence the twinkies. First time in ages I’ve had one, can’t remember when, be fair to myself.
Is that a pic of your cat, posted this morning?
Not mine, no. She's Corey...one of 5 vegan cats named after Canadian musicians.
So this cat is named for Corey Hart, I take it? Do they wear their sunglasses at night?
Can Buffy be Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead, though? In retrospect, maybe she doesn’t want to be named after Buffy St.Marie. And she’s American now anyway.
i wonder how many Vegans are aware they are made of meat?
Right? That would be a perfect fictional plot twist BTW. The fictitious vegan cat mom dies a peaceful, solitary death in her apartment while her unfed, meat-craving cats....i wonder how many Vegans are aware they are made of meat?
I'm thinking "Fancy Feast" as a title...
