Real oil prices peaked around 1980 and haven't regained those levels yet. It’s only a record if you ignore inflation. Real oil prices peaked around 1980 and haven’t regained those levels yet.

Not sure about sourcing ham, but the you can get bacon from wild pigs (and other hunted meat) at Moore Wilson's in Wellington - helps out the environment and supports local industry. Elsewhere you'll have to catch your own. I’m still in the no telly/no microwave club.

Good point though, especially with the per/acre / per/calorie cost of ham.... I did assume it was all 5-acre permacultered though ;-) bikemike Sorry, I was being literal.

Anyway, here's what should be in such a Fresh Ready-to-eat deli item! Wheat Flour, Egg, Olive Oil, Sliced Dry Cured Ham, Butter, Water, Yeast. That would do it eh! I tell you, this is exactly why the manufacturers don't want to label stuff. Too many of us still remember what real food is. Maybe it's too late for most of America, but it will be a decade or two here before 'we' forget. Unfortunately, this means we have to keep fighting for detailed labelling. Did you notice the only way to heat it is with a Microwave? Anyone else still have no Microwave and no Telly? cheerie. I thought the Mericuns called it Folate, not Folic Acid?
