I find people who can't taste the difference to be the odd ones. I
can sort of understand thinking that you don't have time or if you don't
have an interest or whatever, and make the prepackaged junk, but when
people say things like box mix whatever tastes the same as homemade to
them, I am mystified. It is even worse when they _prefer_ the prefab to
the homemade.

We, OTOH, are growing more of our own food, we raise chickens, we
will have honeybees next year, we shop at farmers' markets as much as we
can, make most food from scratch, etc. We would love to get a few sheep
and some cows, and our sons would like to raise a pig. We were even
reading about what it would take to grow a portion of our own grains for
flour.

I wish we could live like that. It's harder here. We don't have enough land to raise livestock.

It boggles my mind when I meet people who, as you say, can't taste the difference. Tonight I tried to get my almost-10-year-old son to try some sweet-and-sour chicken sauce on his fried chicken. He tried a bit, and said he didn't like it because it was too much like "compote," which he says he doesn't like.
