Market Research: cost of protein

This post expired on March 06, 2024.

I have bottled up the last of the O99 honey crop, about 20L, now available.

A faithful member lent me the 25th anniv edition of More With Less cookbook, which has a chart in it of common sources of protein and costs. But the costs don’t match ours, so I’d like to do an update and publish it here.
Since I don’t go to grocery stores hardly at all, maybe I could get a few of the 175 subscribers to Old99Farm.locallygrown to offer to get the price data for say 10 items. I’d send you the list as a form and you’d take shopping with you. (would make a good educational project for kids too.) I’ll ask several people to do the same list so we can compare. Just include for each item, store, size (weight), price, date. that’s all. I’ll do the rest and share it in a future blog.

Speaking of sharing, I came across a nifty website, www.streetbank.com which makes it slamdunk easy to be a helping neighbour to someone who needs a tool, dvd, book, knowhow, etc. Or a source for you when you need sumthin. I’m in there.

Some powerful links readers have sent in to me: titles speak for themselves.

We don’t get to see much footage of the carnage being done in area the size of France, (yes that’s all slated to be strip mined for tarsand oil.)

Childhood food allergies have more than tripled in the last twenty years. New research is testing old assumptions about how to treat them. Can they find an allergy fix?
