No Wonder They Call Me a Bitch (R)

Working my daily job as a cashier at the local Piggly Wiggly last week, I experienced one of the most disturbing stories I had ever been encountered with. Normally at work I hear about a son or daughter who is sick, a teenager who is mad at a friend, or a families problems at home. Not that I want to pry into someone's life but it is a little difficult to keep your nose out of their business when they are talking right in front of you. The story of Ann Hodgman's experiment was one for my family at the dinner table.

I first noticed Ann Hodgman a Wednesday afternoon when she seemed to be buying amble amounts of dog food. I didn't think anything of it, maybe she had several dogs. It became suspicious though after her third day straight of buying new dog food. On Saturday I finally got enough nerve to ask her what she was doing with it all. She replied simply, "I am eating it." My first thought was GROSS! that can not be healthy. Our conversation continued and she explained that she had always wondered if the advertisements for dog food were true and what it tasted like. She wanted to experience what her precious Shortie went through at every meal.

Each day after when she returned, I would ask her how yesterdays food was. Day after day she would reply, "I'm still alive," and come to the counter for me to ring up her next three meals for the day.

Frankly, I think the woman is insane. I believe their is a reason that animal's breath stinks, they drink water from the toilet, and they only live to be about 10 years old. I will never forget Ann Hodgman, the lady who ate dog food.
