What's the truth about eating spam in our world?

Spamarama--spam eating contest

Carol Forsloff - Of all things that may foretell the future, how about spam?  It was a depression favorite, and it began to again be on the menu of many when the economy began to splutter several years ago.  People who look for cheaper and cheaper ways to feed a family turn to spam, so spam may be a way of telling us when times are hard or not and how everyone feels about the world economy.

One finds spam often in Hawaii, where it became an island favorite many years ago during World War II.  It was those cheap eats with the G.I.s that offered island folk something they have turned literally into a delicacy.
