Probably not at all. Those of us who eat meat and cheese are smart enough to not let some scam press release by the bug-n-tree lovers affect us at all.

If Land O Lakes had competitive pricing they would do much better, but they always seem to be priced higher and will lose sales. The price of the cheese will make you take out a second mortgage to buy.

I agree they are more expensive that store brands, but I find they are a better product. I will pay for quality, rather than save a few cents for cheese that tastes like it came out of the wrong cow-hole.

Daily Horoscope for December 15

Virgo

You're in a very sensitive frame of mind today and are acutely aware of what other people are going through. So if someone is having a bad time, you'll want to do what you can to help. However, it's important to accept that you may not be able to do a single thing. If you persist in trying to help, it will be because you're uncomfortable with the situation and want to feel better.
