Been fighting with ineptitude vs malevolence for some time. At this point not sure it matters at the end result. However when it comes to fighting back it is essential to know what drives the enemy. So I continue the internal struggle.

My husband and I were saving to buy long term food from Amazon. I had placed them in a wish list, go to purchase and the prices on each had tripled, too much I could afford it. So, I decided to buy bulk and by lots of jars and can. You can can just about anything, but before you start that process you must learn the proper cleanliness procedures in doing so or risk catching botulism. Thank God we have a commissary nearby.

That's wonderful! I grew up on canned foods. We had a large family and lived in the farming area of CA. I helped my mother can 300 quarts of green beans and tomatoes every year. We went to pick fruits and froze them. I am 68 in great health and I believe so much of my health was from beautiful nutrients in my early days because we were a large family and redistricted budget.

How do you keep the vegetables I.e. carrots from being so soft after canning? I recently canned fresh carrots and after opening a jar I wondered if I had “canned” all the nutrients out since they were so soft.

Never canned carrots but the vegetables we did can were just blanched not cook through. If they are soft you can mash with a little butter and sweetness to freeze them.

Try peanut butter and multi vitamin. Cheap easy to store, protein and calorie dense, won't spike sugar.

Not to be nit-pickety, because your posts are superb, but wouldn’t it be, “A shortcut that is wrong more often than right”? Or maybe it’s my misinterpretation. In any event, I think you are 100% correct. This is intentional, deliberate and pure evil.

I noticed that but thought, no that intentional, because hes saying because it is right more often than wrong it becomes lazy thinking and default thinking. But it also leaves you vulnerable in discounting the possibility of malice and nefarious causes. Just my thouhts. Im waiting for him to tell you thank you for catching his error a I look incompetant. :)

Thanks for your thoughts. The good news is that it’s a binary situation. Either I’m going to be right or wrong. No “economist-speak” … “well, on the one hand, but then again, on the other hand, not to mention that on the third hand … “ … ad nauseam. Meantime, the suspense is crackling in the air as we await word. Cheers.
