Take a look at this:
WHAAAAAAT?
BOSTON (AP/CBS) — Cranberry farmers have asked the federal government for permission to destroy a quarter of their crop in response to a glut that has kept prices low and growers operating in the red.
The Boston Globe reports that after struggling with an oversupply of the berries for nearly two decades, growers around the country are asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture for authorization to sell 75 percent of the supply and discard the rest.
Cranberries are one of my favorite berries, especially when they are stewed -- or jellied into the shape of a can.
The thought of 1 of every 4 cranberries being trashed is disturbing.
And so wasteful.
Maybe they can feed them to hogs?
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
