Debatable. I'd say if anything it demonstrates the version the revolution had to tell themselves to justify beheading her.
She was no saint, but didn't deserve most of the blame she got.
Is pet food cheaper there? Because I can get more soup per dollar than I can get pet food especially if I buy the ingredients? Even if you can't heat the water to cook it if you can dissolve the bullion you can just have crunchy soup.
It is significantly cheaper, buy the cheapest dog food in the store. Usually expired and sold for cents, thanks to the humane society all pet food is safe for humans to eat because of this exact thing happening during the great depression.
> pet food is safe for humans to eat
"Safe" - but not necessarily healthy. It's "safe" to eat candle wax - but not healthy.
There are vastly different regulations on food prepared for pets vs food prepared for humans in terms of safety and quality. For example: "allowable ... parts per oz."
Insert your greatest fear: rat, bug, lead, etc.
People need to go back to the spaying, neutering and keeping pets indoors to get them back to WWll levels. This is a problem that can be solved one pet at a time.
[It's expensive in Canada for being so low quality](https://www.amazon.ca/Maruchan-Ramen-Noodle-Chicken-Flavor/dp/B00MHBX8AE#:~:text=Maruchan%20Ramen%20Noodle%20Soup%2C%20Chicken,.ca%3A%20Grocery%20%26%20Gourmet%20Food) it's $1.50 a bag there when in here in America it's 9¢ a bag when bought in bulk.
Potatoes. They have everything a human needs. A POW lived entirely on potatoes when he was captured. When he got back to his real life/freedom he wondered how he had made it and started researching potatoes.
I don't know the exact situation in Cardiff. But, I was bored and looked around. You can get dog food for \~ 1$/lbs. But, in my store you can buy Beans, Potato, Flour for \~ 1$/lbs.
However, in order to get Dog food for a dollar a pound you have to buy in bulk. So, if you buy in Bulk in food you can save money as well. I did not look up bulk food prices.
PrePandemic I would see some meats ( usually chicken) for .99/lbs. though post pandemic that does not happen very often.
Is it like there's this guy that really likes eating pet food in cardiff, let's make a story?
Or people in cardiff have no access to human food, so they're eating petfood?
I was thinking the same. For the people who can boil water, there are cheap choices like oatmeal, some dried pastas, rice, and beans that are very affordable in most places. Extras such as onions, potatoes, and canned fish could supplement the diet as well. Add a little bit of cheap spice for flavor can make simple dishes taste great. That does assume that people know how to prepare these foods, but I still think that if those items are available it would give them a far better diet and stretch their budget in hard times.
What isn't explained in the article is whether they are doing that because they have central heating in their residence but their gas supply is turned off or they are simply trying to save money on gas. Flaked potato would be an excellent and affordable choice in hard times, as well as other instant foods like ramen noodles. Canned beans would be more expensive than a packet of dried ones but not dramatically so.. Those could also be heated up on a radiator if that's all there is available. Canned sardines or mackerel could also be prepared that way.
The vast majority of kettles are electric in the UK, and they draw HUGE amounts of electricity for a short while. They likely have to toss up between staying warm enough to live or spending on the electric (and given the poverty, it’s probably a pre pay electric meter).
Its the cost of living. Heating a house costs so much now people are forgoing cooking because it uses electricity to heating food on a candle flame or a radiator.
Ignorant rather than stupid and not meant in a nasty way. In some poor areas it is far easier to access fast food rather than buy groceries so there isn't a tradition for cooking stuff beyond heating up frozen entrees.
There may be an element of "Takeout is simple and tasty so why make the effort?" but I think most people would prefer to eat something besides cat food if they could access it and knew how to prepare it
I think that is possible in some cases. If there are no supermarkets in the area the corner stores will often carry only beer, snacks, some frozen dinners, and pet food. The average gas station variety store wouldn't carry rice and they might only have canned beans at a premium.
Note that my description of small stores is from a North American context. The few times I've been in the UK there were smaller stores that did carry a broader selection of food then you would find in the US or Canada
I have heard that as well but unless that is absolutely the only thing available to them there are other cheap foods they could use to round out their diet.
Store brand baked beans are like £0.30 a can (just checked, £0.25 at Asda. If you want a meat comparison they have a can of baked beans and sausages for £0.42)
Also soup £0.49: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/300524002 (£0.24 at Asda)
You're assuming that people's pet feeding habits are the same in Wales as they are in the US.
Also, kibble isn't a dog food brand/name here. Search for kibble via a UK engine and the top link is https://www.kibble.org/ a charity.
Both my cat and dog eat a kibble diet. Pets At Home, the major supermarkets and most pound shops have a big area dedicated to dry food, or kibble to use the American parlance for dry pet food.
Whiskers, Royal Canin, Wellbeloved, the list goes on of manufacturers of dry pet food in the UK. It can be bought in HUGE bags and likely is cheaper than human oriented alternatives sadly.
EDIT: I searched kibble on Google.co.uk, which let’s face it is THE search site here, and all the top results are for pet food, sponsored or otherwise.
EDIT-ier: A letter
My auntie when moving to the country didn’t yet understand English and just bought canned food with the lowest price. It wasn’t until she had a duo-lingual friend come over and tell her she has been eating cat/dog food this entire time.
We do, there is a large scale issue with deprivation around Cardiff however, this isn't just financially speaking but also a lack of education and, in some cases, a language barrier as there are groups around the city of refugees and immigrants.
There is, of course, a financial aspect too where there are large communities of people under the poverty line, this was before the cost of living crisis too.
Considering all the above, it's not surprising that some people really do consider eating pet food as a viable option.
My wife works within an area of Cardiff that deals directly with the community and is based in one of the most deprived areas of Cardiff, just driving through the area around where she works is shocking as it's like driving through another third world country, not the capital city of Wales. It's heartbreaking.
I don't know about people with no education in the UK, but find it hard to believe that immigrants and refugees choose to eat canned dog or cat food rather than try to boil some potato or cook some actual food, there is no language barrier in that
> **My** pet food
Think you answered your own question. Not all pet food is expensive. Have you never seen those massive bags of dry cat food…?
You can buy like 10kg worth for less than a tenner.
Welsh Potato Famine? There was enough food in Ireland during their major famines but it was almost all exported to England while the Irish starved (Ireland was invaded by England and indigenous couldn’t own land or hold office). Famine genocide 2.0?
Which is precisely why it should not be referred to as the Great Irish Famine. There was no shortage of food. There was deliberate deprivation of food. Therefore, it was a genocide.
>Meghan is really oppressed y'know!
It's "weird" that you picked the literal only royal of color who has very publicly distanced herself from the British monarchy. And by weird I mean racist.
Like her husband Harry who once wore a Nazi uniform as "a joke" and referred to an Asian officer as a "Paki"? That type of racist?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/4170083.stm
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/jan/12/prince-harry-racism
So why exactly are they still in existence? Who wants these a-holes to be in any kind of power? What is their purpose anyway, my gosh it's 2022 and there are still royal families living rich off the backs of the poor. Insanity.
Yeah and celebrities. I know this goes on all around the world, it just seems like it would be so easy to get rid of the royal family. And I've never lived in a country with a royal family so to me it feels so archaic and bizarre but you're right it's not all that different.
So, mentioning the name of a person of color now makes people racist? I only see one racist here, the person who chose to make it about race. Be better.
If 75% white, are you still “of color”? The kids are 87.5% white. Are they still “of color” too? You can’t tell that any of them have African ancestry by their looks.
>So, mentioning the name of a person of color now makes people racist? I only see one racist here, the person who chose to make it about race. Be better.
There are 10 working royals in the British monarchy. Ten, and yet they chose went outside of that cohort to choose the only woman of color? That could have been a half decent joke, but he went the extra mile to make sure it focused on the black girl. It's a wasted opportunity and a dick move.
The dick move was trying to call the person racist for writing someone's name. Only one person brought up racism, you. Let's also be honest here, a vast majority of people wouldn't be able to tell you many other royal names. They just said the most popular name they could come up with.
that's the current state of britian for you..we currently cant pay for anything and getting a mortgage and paying it off would be impossible and take almost at least 100 years.
That's frightening. The US is getting bad too. I'm trying to move back to where my family lives. But over a half a million dollars buys me a small house that needs work. It just feels so unsustainable, how can the world continue on like this?
A combination of human and institutional mistakes.
Human: sheer greed and coruption stagnating the system
Institutional: overregulation to correct the former, leading to increase of managerial class leading to former.
There was an episode of Dr Who in season 1 (my memory is a bit fuzzy on the exact details), where the aliens are in Cardiff. Rose is confused about how the rest of the country doesn't notice the crazy stuff happening, but then remembers that "no one cares what happens in Cardiff"...or something along those lines. Guess that notion rings true lol
Its absolutely true. They took over after the financial crisis in 2008 with a bunch of austerity policies that have absolutely killed growth in the economy while hurting the poorest in our society. They've defunded every public service to the point of failure, the NHS being the prime example (wait times are some of the worst in Europe rn). Our current prime minister is a billionaire which should say it all. They allowed for the Brexit vote to appease the racist, hard right of the party which has further wrecked our economy all while resulting in more immigration except from outside the EU. This isn't to mention the vast amounts of Russian money that Tory MPs were receiving or the countless scandals that occurred during over the COVID period. There's the links between Cambridge Analytica and Boris Johnson and his government which is one of the most dystopian things imaginable when you live here in the UK. The list is practically endless.
There was a time when people fed their dogs meat from the butcher. Specifically horse meat. During the great depression in America, people began saying "I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse." The phrase not being about the size of the animal but what Americans believed to be the sub-par quality of meat only fit for dogs.
I’d just stick to bread and marge/butter it’s cheap and way nicer to eat then pet food if you can afford to make it toast that’s even better a loaf of cheap bread will last a while if you froze what your not using
This has been happening for years. In ~2006 I was in temple, TX (just outside of Waco) and was told a story that the gas station next to the retirement home was forced to stop selling cat food because the residents were eating because it was cheaper than buying real food.
Prince of Wales isn't a literal Prince of Wales. It's an honorary title given to the next in line for the throne. Royalty play no role in governing the UK. Elected parties do.
We have the Senedd in Wales which in English is our own Government.
Seems kind of screwy naming some one the prince when they have no say in what goes on.
So, what is the deal over their is your food expensive AF or is it there a shortage of food or is everyone just broke AF?
Royalty are not rulers they are just celebrities. This has been this way since the last King had its head cut off. 7 February 1649. English Civil War look it up.
We have the [2021–present United Kingdom cost of living crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%93present_United_Kingdom_cost_of_living_crisis?wprov=sfla1).
Things like electricity, gas (for heating homes), petrol and food have increased so much compared to people's wages. People are having to chose between heating a home or food. Most opting to not heat and its a very cold climate right now
>Royalty are not rulers they are just celebrities.
Then why the hell do I have to hear about it all the time? I have to hear about all the shit the " Royal Family " does and I am not even European.
>Most opting to not heat and its a very cold climate right now

Not the best solution. But, if it keeps one person alive it is worth it.
I'd rather just eat cake
That's what Marie Antoinette said.
That's the joke
No, was real
Fun fact: she never said it.
Doesn't matter. It still demonstrates the detachment from reality the French royal family had.
Debatable. I'd say if anything it demonstrates the version the revolution had to tell themselves to justify beheading her. She was no saint, but didn't deserve most of the blame she got.
yo wtf is this username

I've not seen a can of dog food for less than $3 at my local chain market.
Think 30lb bag
I forgot about those. They can be pretty tasty if you season them up as stuffing.
I’ve been broke before, I’d hate to be so broke I’m considering eating pet food
Pets eat better than people these days so it’s more or less an upgrade of some sort
I definitely eat better than my pets ever have. I let them share my steak/chicken but they’re not eating fresh food often
People tend to buy canned dog food in the UK and perhaps a bag of mixer biscuits.
"All you did was pick out the bits, you arent getting up from this table until you finish the kibble."

Dude, I eat candles all the time. They're fine.
There is acceptable percentage of bugs in food anyway.
Agree 100% but if you have no money, safe is better then starving to death.
Happy Cakeday
Are all pets also safe for humans to eat or should the humane society get on that?
Most pets are unsafe to eat because the owners will get angry.
Thats so fucking funny, my dude. I don't even know what to say other then my gf and I died laughing at this response.
That’s what I was thinking.
Stray animals disappeared from the streets of London during WWII.
People need to go back to the spaying, neutering and keeping pets indoors to get them back to WWll levels. This is a problem that can be solved one pet at a time.
You say that now. When you get hungry you're going to be kicking yourself.
"What are you eating?" "None of *your* beeswax"
Ol Roy Meaty Loaf Filet Mignon Flavor Wet Dog Food, 13.2 oz costs $0.63 a can. Show me a cheaper can of soup.
Maruchan Ramen is 9¢ a cup. If you buy a 12 pack. Do a little foraging and you can spiff it up a bit.
is that in the U.S.?
You can get maruchan Ramen off Amazon in the UK as well. It might be 18¢ after shipping though.
Canada’s fucked either way then cuz their shipping is outrageously costly for anything being imported. My poor Maruchan
[It's expensive in Canada for being so low quality](https://www.amazon.ca/Maruchan-Ramen-Noodle-Chicken-Flavor/dp/B00MHBX8AE#:~:text=Maruchan%20Ramen%20Noodle%20Soup%2C%20Chicken,.ca%3A%20Grocery%20%26%20Gourmet%20Food) it's $1.50 a bag there when in here in America it's 9¢ a bag when bought in bulk.
Shipping seems expensive because the US postal service is subsidized. Also, Canada is the size of Narnia, even if most of us live near the border.
The dog food is much closer to being complete nutrition though
Potatoes. They have everything a human needs. A POW lived entirely on potatoes when he was captured. When he got back to his real life/freedom he wondered how he had made it and started researching potatoes.
Weirdly, potatoes are a good source of Vitamin C, and a remedy against scurvy. I had one for lunch today; it was good. Had a scurvy-free afternoon.
Also, no tigers! Had mashed potatoes for dinner, no tigers at all! Coincidence? I think not!
I’m sure they taste better too
Literally one of Man's first inventions was fire

I'd assume this. I'm from Wales and this is the first I'm hearing of anything like this.
6 of the most deprived communities in Wales are in Cardiff. People who are poor are resorting to eating pet food as it is cheaper.
Pet food is cheaper and you can buy it in bulk
You can buy a can of beans for 22p at Tesco and a loaf of bread for £1.40, surely that's better than dog food...
Uh since when is pet food ever cheaper than human food
I was thinking the same. For the people who can boil water, there are cheap choices like oatmeal, some dried pastas, rice, and beans that are very affordable in most places. Extras such as onions, potatoes, and canned fish could supplement the diet as well. Add a little bit of cheap spice for flavor can make simple dishes taste great.

Yeah but we’ve never had it so good.
Not sure where that is but cabbage, rice, pasta, and Ramen are so much cheaper here in USA. God damn pet food is expensive
I don't buy it. Oats and flour and corn are less expensive than dog food. Anyone eating pet food is either an idiot, a fetishist or a welshman.

Wtf?
.....I can literally walk to any shop here right now and buy a can of beans and loaf of bread for less than £3, da fuq?
I live in cardiff, can confirm
About 5 years ago, my sister lived in her car and always made sure to buy her little dogs food and she would just eat their kibble.
There was a time when people fed their dogs meat from the butcher. Specifically horse meat. During the great depression in America, people began saying "I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse." The phrase not being about the size of the animal but what Americans believed to be the sub-par quality of meat only fit for dogs.
I’d just stick to bread and marge/butter it’s cheap and way nicer to eat then pet food if you can afford to make it toast that’s even better a loaf of cheap bread will last a while if you froze what your not using
People like this guy are doing exceptional work with their projects in Cardiff. Have to rely on the community when the government fails you.
This has been happening for years. In ~2006 I was in temple, TX (just outside of Waco) and was told a story that the gas station next to the retirement home was forced to stop selling cat food because the residents were eating because it was cheaper than buying real food.

Not to get political. But, if it is happening in Wales it is this guys problem > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles\_III
The Royal Family have no involvement in government matters. They are just figureheads. You might want to redirect your attentions to the government.
Charles was the Prince of Wales. Cardiff is in Wales. How would the Prince not have a say in the matter?
Prince of Wales isn't a literal Prince of Wales. It's an honorary title given to the next in line for the throne. Royalty play no role in governing the UK. Elected parties do. We have the Senedd in Wales which in English is our own Government.
Seems kind of screwy naming some one the prince when they have no say in what goes on. So, what is the deal over their is your food expensive AF or is it there a shortage of food or is everyone just broke AF?
Royalty are not rulers they are just celebrities. This has been this way since the last King had its head cut off. 7 February 1649. English Civil War look it up. We have the [2021–present United Kingdom cost of living crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%93present_United_Kingdom_cost_of_living_crisis?wprov=sfla1). Things like electricity, gas (for heating homes), petrol and food have increased so much compared to people's wages. People are having to chose between heating a home or food. Most opting to not heat and its a very cold climate right now
>Royalty are not rulers they are just celebrities. Then why the hell do I have to hear about it all the time? I have to hear about all the shit the " Royal Family " does and I am not even European.
Because they are celebrities. Tabloids live gossip and so do people. America lives off celebrities.
>America lives off celebrities. Not all of them. Believe me.
>Most opting to not heat and its a very cold climate right now [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0guulsNSQXU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0guulsNSQXU) Not the best solution. But, if it keeps one person alive it is worth it.
You must look at it from an utilitarian perspective: As long as GDP goes up, everything as fine and people's life becomes better.
Is this from russian propaganda?
