I converse with a lot of people. Some of them think I'm a wise man and some of them think I'm a nut case. It doesn't really matter to me what people think of me. I've never really been a member of any herds.
Some of the things I talk about make sense no matter what you think of me. Lots of folks are on a health kick these days. They are trying to eat better but at the same time they don't want to have to spend more. One of the people that email me all the time started griping because the price of whole wheat flour went up at their store again. Nearly $18 for a 25 pound sack.
I informed her that we've been using whole wheat for many years and that I pay around $7.50 for fifty pounds. I visit my local MFA and buy whole wheat feed for that price and then just grind it myself. She responded by saying 'I'm surprised you don't have a thousand pounds put away for your apocalypse thing'. I don't. I only have about two hundred pounds put away!
We use a lot of flour and it's just plain silly to overpay for it. It doesn't matter if you agree with my view of the future or not.
