Today, I opened a package of Oscar Mayer bacon which had "America's Favorite" on the label. I take this to mean that statistically it's the largest supplier of bacon in this country. I like certain brands like; Gwaltney, Smithfield, Plumrose, etc., but I bought the Oscar Mayer because it cost only two bucks during this week's sale! Do they take a poll and the largest number of respondents actually said that Oscar mayer is their favorite, or are they simply extrapolating the favorite status based on sales volume? For example: Americans buy more Camry's than any other car therefore it is their choice, statistically. Maybe they sell 200 thousand in a year, but if you asked Americans, perhaps fifty million of them would rather have a Ferrari or Porsche. Wouldn't that make the Ferrari or Porsche America's favorite and not the Camry, which they buy because of it's affordability and practicality. I've seen this type of claim on numerous products, and it seems misleading. Your take?

I saw something about coupons on Good Morning America today and was curious. Do you use coupons a lot? Do you think they are worth it. I think they sometimes try to get you to buy more with the help of a coupon, and sometimes you really save nothing.

My 17 mo old grandson despises meat. He will occasionally eat a bit of chicken breast or fish, but literally gags at the taste of beef, venison, -- red meat.
He is half East Indian.
Is it possible he is a natural born vegetarian?
His mom (my daughter) is a veggie lover but likes meat as well. I am not much of a meat eater, nor was my maternal grandmother; my maternal great-grandmother was vegetarian by nature.
I've never seen a toddler absolutely shudder at the taste of meat and I'm curious about it. I havent been able to find much online about this trait. Any ideas?

I have had this strange look from a coworker when I said I eat food I prepare and refrigerate for one week...then I throw it away. I made some home made chili and refrigerate it for a week. He started a whole thing about me going to be sick and such. Now I have worked in restaurants during my 20s and we used to refrigerate precooked food for weeks...as long as the temperature does not increase...you should be fine. PLus McDonalds and Burger King refrigerate everything...even salads! And believe me they keep those foods there and sell them. My coworker does like fastfoods and when I told him they refrigerate everything for weeks he said its not true LOL. He thinks its all fresh, out of the cow or chicken...Thoughts?

It's a little get together for a girl at work that is going to florida next week to get married. Her grandmother works with us to and she is having the picnic. It is at the park right down the street from our house so we are walking. Grandma said she is bringing all the food, and not to worry about gifts because they will have a real shower for her when she gets back. But I really don't want to show up empty handed! What is a good fall back that chances are grandma won't be bringing?
