Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Sales up 10% in the last year

I heard something interesting this morning on my way to work on the radio. It would seem that Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Sales were up 10% last year (2007). There was speculation that this was due partly to the recession (that we are in or is pending) depending how you look at it (I think we have been in one - to each his own) I dont remember the numbers they were spouting but there was a huge number of households that are using Mac and Cheese as a main part of their meals. They were saying that as money tightens up people look for cheap easy ways to feed their families.

The other thing I found funny was the radio people were talking about how they loved mac and cheese and that they just about grew up on it. Than I started thinking back to my childhood (and mom if you are reading this you can correct me.) As a kid we as a family at the dinner table ALMOST never had Mac and Cheese. I may have had it in a school lunch. But I really dont remember having it at home at ALL.

And still to his day I really am not a big fan of the stuff I can tell you this I never fix it for my own meals. There are other cheap ways to fix a meal of I need to save money. I do eat a good amount of pastas but not Mac and Cheese.

I dont know just some food for thought no pun intended

Everyone have a great day!
