We now get an immense variety of it, fresh stuff from all over the
world. And it's better quality, more nutritious, non-rotten and nearly
germ and parasite-free, fortified with vitamins and minerals,
available all year fresh and frozen, and it's dirt cheap.

200 years ago I would have been living on mouldy potatoes and the
occasional scrap of fish or mutton. Now I can have anything I want,
any time I want it. If I do want potatoes (which I do) I can buy about
a thousand pounds of them for an hour's work.

Thank you for an astonishing bit of education.

Scairy, aren't they, people who have different opinions and haircuts
from yours.

This is fascinating.

It seems to be the kind of thing that freaks some Americans too.
