Where have soup bones been all my life

[Cornfed]

For about $2.50 I can buy a big bag of meaty beef bones. I can boil them up and live on them for two or three days in fine nutritional style. I can then store about half the fat. Not only can I fry with it, but in case of famine it will store forever in jars as the ideal source of calories that no-one will ever want to steal or accuse me of hoarding over. I don't know why I never thought of this before or why anyone in the vicinity has no be malnourished or fat.
