My favorite AB quote from the story....

Quote:
Eating is an intensely intimate act, and you get what you pay for. So, rethink that 74-cent can of chili from China.

I always think about what food I'm making and make it healthy. Not only for us, but puppy, too. Last night she had filet mignon with vegetables. She's worth it.
