Since my nephew didn't have school today, and he and I were the only ones in the house, he offered to make the both of us lunch. I was quite impressed with this offer. He planned on making grilled cheese and tomato soup. To save money his mom bought generic brand cheese and soup. My nephew frowned on the idea of generic cheese and soup. I didn't mind. I usually buy generic myself. Usually the store name brand. I can't tell the difference. I look at it this way. I'm sure the cheese came from the same type of dairy cow that Kraft cheese comes from. And I'm sure they get the same tomatoes as Campbells does from a farm somewhere in the country. Unless there are Dairy Cows that are eating alien killer tomatoes. Which would you rather have? Generic or Name Brand?
