Jane you said, “There was no meat, milk, eggs, butter or any other sustainable food to be had. Last week, we were able to buy one chicken.”

WOW! Not even perfectly sustainable potatoes, butternut squash, lentils, whole wheat pasta, brown rice.

It’s been years since I ate any of those foods you consider sustainable. My total cholesterol typically flirts with 150, blood pressure 115/72.
I figure my body has enough to contend with what with MAC and Bronchiectasis. I want to spare it the known deleterious impact of animal flesh and lactation products.
