Wednesday is the day the grocery store ads come in our local newspaper. As I was perusing them I came across one that still has me shaking my head.
A store named Grocery Outlet (which my wife calls "Gross Out") had an ad for frozen Norville Farms turkey. The headliner for that part of the ad describes the turkeys as:
No antibiotics ever
Vegetarian Fed
No added growth hormones
Humanely raised
VEGETARIAN FED? For crying out loud, it's a meat product. What the hell difference does it make if it was vegetarian fed? Are VEGANS all of a sudden going to start eating meat because the turkeys were vegetarian fed?
With all those disclaimers and descriptors, it makes me wonder two things:
1. How in the hell did the pioneers ever make it with regular, old turkey:
2. What the hell kind of wimpy people live in this country that this store is pandering to?
Give me a frickin' break.
