The price you pay for living in paradise I guess. I've never been there, but I've heard EVERYTHING is expensive. Maybe not Spam?
I wonder why they'd limit it if there's a population problem? I have a friend that goes down south a couple times each year for them, he says they're fantastic.There are places in Hawaii where the feral pigs are out of control, there's a bag limit of 1 pig per day. A good pig hunter doesn't even need a gun, a couple of big dogs and a partner plus a Texas Toothpick and you're in hog heaven. Fresh pineapple fed pork has got to taste better than SPAM, no matter what you do with it. I have always thought a luau for mainlanders where you charge $XX a head would be a good way to make a living in Hawaii, especially if you can get the locals to help out with the ambiance. There's most likely laws against that sort of thing though...unless your a hotel chain

We are paying $5 a gallon, and can buy a 12 pack of beer for the same price. That is a sad state when beer is cheaper than milk!
I will never understand when liquor or beer are less expensive than milk.
As far as I am concerned, this is the way it should be. Kids should just learn to pour beer on their cereal.
How about a gallon of gasoline?
I will trade milk for Kona coffee

About $2.50 gallon for the low-fat stuff and $4 for whole milk here in New England. And I don't buy into the whole "not made for human consumption" stuff. In fact, in the past few years there have been a number of studies that show that cow milk (especially chocolate milk) is the best drink around for restoring electrolytes and natural sugars to our bodies after strenuous exercise or work. The natural sugars in milk are very easily broken down and absorbed into our bodies - they're very easy on our digestive system compared to many other natural sugars. And sport drink makers are currently trying to reproduce the proteins of milk to add to their drinks. In my opinion, unless you have a issues like lactose intolerance, there's no reason to avoid it. There is one possible downside to milk, but it doesn't bother me - addiction. Oh, and I'm addicted to milk. Bovine casomorphines can cause real addiction. I can't go a day without a glass of whole milk. Yummmmmm.
On a lighter note: I grew up around dairy farms and our dairy-farmer neighbor had a son that was lactose intolerant. We all thought that was the funniest thing. Even funnier is that he took over the farm when his dad retired.
Fact: More people are killed by cows every year than by sharks. Even more reason to eat their tasty meat and drink their yummy milk.
