The commentator forgot to mention rule 17C: Don't eat yellow snow.

Wow


During the great depression my father did trap pigeons to supplement the
family food supply. That was a hell of a long time ago.

I believe Diana Rigg used to eat pigeon in the 1950s and 1960s, before
Patrick Macnee got her a good job. She became a gourmet cook to make the
best of the situation.

With my dad, they gave him a dime to go to the store for a loaf of bread
but the price had been raised to 11 cents and he could not get it...he
came home crying.

His father and uncle had an egg-selling route and would not be home for
several more days and there was not another penny to be had anywhere.

I think that is when the pigeon trapping began.

In the UK, pigeons were trapped for sale at butcher shops.

During the mad cow epidemic, butcher shops in cities continued to sell
to those on low budgets, the organ meats that were supposed to carry the
disease. Nobody got sick.

Out in the countryside, where people ate only the approved cuts, there
were clusters near plants that produced organophosphate insecticides.

The cow epidemic happened after the UK government ordered farmers to
apply organophosphates to cattle, to stop a fly that damaged leather.
One farmer hired a lawyer and refused. The epidemic destroyed his
neighbors' cattle, but his were fine.

The government and the chemical industry weren't going to take the
blame, so they said it was an infectious disease. That lie meant
economic hardship for farmers in many nations.

My folks missed the depths of the depression but my Dad and Aunt used
to walk the railroad tracks (probably around 1933-35) pulling a little
red wagon to pick up pieces of coal to take home for heat and cooking.
They also used to find the chipped bottles the coke plant threw out
cuz they couldn't reuse them and take the to the store and return them
for the deposit.

I was stationed in Germany in 1970
.... 25 years after WW-II and /occasionally/ I'd still see people
scavenging for wood.

Of course that was probably little different from the aluminum can
scavengers we see today

When I was a little kid, me and my pals collected softdrink bottles in our little red wagon, took them to the neighborhood store and used the deposit money which was 2 or 3 cents, if I remember correctly, to buy chips and softdrinks. I was a rich kid if I wound up with 25 cents. 8-)

Interviewed a Great-Aunt. "When you moved to Florida in 1921 on a flat
bed truck, what did you eat? "Anything we could kill!." Mom wasn't yet
born. The men went to Florida to find work, went back to the farm in
Alabama and told the females to "load the truck, we're moving to
Florida."
