I just ran across another case of misleading advertising from the same food company that got mentioned several times during the Wednesday net. Though not by name, over the air. I will name it here, however. It is Wise Foods. They have an ad out right now promoting a bargain on a bucket of dried milk. Only in the fine print does it mention that the 'milk' is whey milk, a milk substitute.


This is only one of the reasons I never mention Wise Foods, except to warn people about them. I will let everyone do their own due diligence research about what whey milk is, and why it is not a great prepper food.


Just my opinion.

Actually, when given a can of instant water, I wash it with about a gallon of prop wash, and then open it with a size 00 instant hole.

Most folks are happy being a part of the Great Shepherds Flock.
Some folks choose to be wolves and prey on the flock.
Some folks choose to defend the flock and confront the wolf.
