New Diet

Americans spend billions of dollars every year on diet products and services - that’s billions with a B. And, except for the select few you see in commercials, few actually lose and keep weight off. But, people keep on buying the promises and dreams that they soon will be slim and sexy. Sexy is the most important part.

Guess what? There is a new diet coming out that everyone will be on whether you want to be or not. At this time there is no "official" name for the diet. But someone, somewhere is probably working on the commercials. It’s the "you can’t afford to buy food diet."

I suppose that most people are not like me when they shop. I check prices and notice increases in the cost of everything. A trip to the grocery reveals that one of the fastest price increases is hamburger meat. Just plain old hamburger. I saw a package of patties that are now almost $9 per pound. You’re going to need a lot of helper for that hamburger.

As a comparison I wondered over to the dog food aisle. I keep hearing that old people finally get to a financial position of having to eat dog food. A two pound bag cost almost $14. That’s $7 per pound.  The cheap stuff is 3 pounds for $6.  The solution is to feed the dog the cheap stuff.

Then eat the dog.
