The Catfood Problem

Alright... so first of all, the cats have to be fed, that's the first priority. With that said, I definitely know of zero locally made/sold cat food that would be bar code-less... so I've decided that probably the best route would be to start making my own. I can get veggies until they start g-moding bar codes into their peels, and i can buy bulk rice at the asian market or oatmeal in bulk, but cats need(?) meat in their diet... or at very least they definitely need lots of protein (apparently 4x that of dogs!)

I'm not about start giving money to the meat industry just for this project, and most of that would have a bar code anyway... and stealing meat (legal disclaimer:stealing=bad) doesn't seem reasonable with the butcher counter and all that... and then I'd have to cook it and get all my food stuffs gross and fleshy... which isn't that big of a deal, i can wash a dish if i have to... but still, that'd be a nice lesser option. Any one have any experience with making your own cat food? anyone know a local brand? totally open to suggestions on this one =D

the parking lot... the new truck stop bathroom

finding 2 needles and a burnt spoon anywhere's not cool... but a coffee shop where teens and kids shop, that's fucked.

Adventures in consumerism...

Alright... here's the plan. One month, Sept. 2008, no purchases of any product with a UPC (barcode you idiot)

Sofar it's just me in on it, but feel free to join up... i'll be posting about issues i come up with (so far... feeding the cats?) and adventures in figuring out ways to subvert said issues... so hopefully i can pick up some decent pointers along the way...

i'll keep you posted

(ps. so far, i fed the cats a can of cat food... i'm thinking i might try to do the same but try to spread it out by mixing it with cooked rice, and other kitty friendly foods i can buy locally or with out barcodes...)

oh, and ideas of how to come up with college text books would be great!
