I used to live in a kinda poor area. Lots of people on some sort of program. And that program had really restrictive rules about what you can and cannot buy. For example, you could buy Skippy peanut butter but not Skippy light peanut butter (whatever that is). It caused great confusion for the people who needed food, huge amounts of labor for the poor grocery person, and a long wait for the other shoppers in line - just so the government can save a few cents. Unbelievable.

I teeter between Gen X and Millennial, and clearly my toast habit fell on the Millennial side. 😉

I have celiac - so no gluten for me. Animal products don't make me feel great, so I mostly don't eat those. Sometimes soy is bothersome, so if I can, I avoid that too.

I will put guac on toast (avocado toast) and hummus. I also have used almond and sunflower seed butter. But good ol PBnJ is my favorite.

Unknown. My aunt once mailed me a coconut (in its husk). Just gotta get the postage right...

I've converted all my investments into girl scout cookies because they (1) are high value And can be traded for goods and services; and (2) can be eaten when no food is available. 😉

My son (10 yo) has a few very strong interests that he talks about pretty much nonstop. We haven't discouraged any kind of talking because he was quite delayed. However it has come to my attention that his narrow focus on these topics can annoy his peers at school. I don't want him to feel ashamed about his interests, but I also don't want him to be ostracized at school. I'd really appreciate any thoughts this group may have on how to handle (or not) this situation. TIA!
