Good lord! My arteries are hardening just typing the words.
Actually, aside from proving the failure of communism to provide even food basics, I bet similiar things could be said of the changes in the US appetite from the late 50s on. We all probably regularly eat things today that we wouldn't have dreamed of eating just 20 years ago, much less 50 years ago. Salsa, anyone?
This can only be good for agriculture.
Holy paprika!
Thank god is all I can say. I was in Poland 5 years ago. The cheap beer was good & the tall leggy women were nice to look at, but the food was horrible. Everything served boiled, and no flavor. I went to an Italian restaurant and it made The Olive Garden look like gourmet cuisine.

Going to the grocery store, shopping mall or any place in public is becoming more and more distasteful because of the increasing herds of heavyweights everywhere. It is absolutely sickening to see an 8-year-old child who does not have a neck, because the multiple chins connect directly with the gelatinous thorax.

Never forget what it took to open their markets. They began to taste freedom in '68 only to be beaten down once again.
Where was the outrage of the Left? Oh, they were wining and dining on the fruit of Capitalism.
The beauty of freedom is a priceless gift. It is incumbent upon Americans to embrace their destiny and defend the oppressed whereever and whenever we can rouse ourselves from the comfortable banquet our freedom affords us.
Well, I came to the US from kerry'ing USSR in 1981. The first reaction to the word "avocado" was: Hmm, does one eat it or drink it?
Luckily, it turned out that I do not like them anyway.
This article sounds like it was written by a Freeper. Bet these two AP writers are not leftist socialists or DU members!!
In the 1970s avocado meant a refrigerator color along with its companion golden harvest. :)
