#carman — Public Fediverse posts

An anecdote to see if this is part of a big pattern driven by capitalist greed.

I eat a lot of #Carman's Classic Fruit and Nut Toasted #Muesli. I'd been buying it from Coles and felt the fruit-and-nut content had diminished a little recently.

Then, a week or so back, I bought a bag from #Supabarn in Lyneham (née IGA) and was surprised how very fruity it was. I bought another bag from them today, and it was the same (quite possibly the same batch).

This got me wondering.

Given how #Coles and #Woolworths squeeze producers, are there some products for which the producers use the same packaging to produce a good version for general retail and a less good version to sell to the supermarkets so the can retain a margin? If I shop elsewhere, will I find that the fish in tins of tuna (which I only buy for someone else) aren't always now 50% water?

#LegendaryWednesday: `#Carman was said to have been one of the earliest rulers of #Ireland, a mighty but destructive sorceress whose three sons were equally distressing: darkness (Dub), wickedness (Dothur), and violence (Dian). Together they maliciously blighted Ireland’s corn until the people of the goddess #Danu, the #TuathaDéDanann, mustered sufficient magic to drive Carman’s sons from the land.`

#FairyTaleTuesday: `The #TuathaDéDanann sent a bard against #Carman, but he failed to stop the destructive energy of this sorceress. Then a satirist came, but he too failed. Finally the sorceress Bé Chuille cast a spell sufficient to undo Carman’s. Upon hearing that her sons had been killed, Carman died of grief.`

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney in #Ireland: `Despite the enmity between the #TuathaDéDanann and the mighty but destructive sorceress #Carman, a great festival was staged in her honor, called the Óenach Carman, whose site has been variously located on the Curragh in Co. #Kildare and
on the plains of the River Barrow in the same county, suggesting that she was a force to be propitiated. Similar festivals were also staged in honor of the goddesses Tailtiu and Tlachtga. As earth goddesses, they may have represented the dying vegetation that fed humanity, suggesting an ancient connection of such goddesses to the harvest season.`
