It's possible to earn enough money to buy a Big Mac in just 28 minutes while working at the minimum wage in the USA! So if you work an average of 8 hours and all you buy are Big Macs...... Well... That's a lot of Hammies.
And in the old days, it took forever to make just one sandwich from scratch! You have to work hard. Make the Bread. That should take abut a week! Raise and Slaughter the pigs! That should take about 2 years! Oh, and how about the Tomatoes! That's just like the Bread! And the lettuce. ONE WEEK! THE MUSTARD TOO! YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE MUSTARD TO MAKE IT'S SEEDS! THEN YOU HAVE TO GRIND THEM UP! GEEZ! So much work! All for just one sandwich. Now we can just walk up to our local supermarket and buy all of the ingredients. How long does that take? About 30 minutes.
So let's tally that up. Old Days: 2 years 1 month. New Days: 30 minutes. WOW.
Oh, and remember the butcher? They have this poster in their shop, right?
Well, if you'd like to know, the pig pictured probably took 2 years to raise.
Nowadays, it's probably 10 minutes to the Butcher's, about 5 minutes to ask the butcher to get a thing of meat and 10 more minutes to get home. That's 25 minutes. In the old days, we had to slaughter the pigs.
We had to cut them up. And nowadays we just have pig meat hanging around the Butcher's like this!
Just slam that in the oven and you got yourself dinner.
You like your nice, plump apples? Thank agriculture, because we made those things from scratch! We chose the fattest. And then we chose the fattest again! Here we have a comparison of the size between a Crab Apple and a Normal Apple.
Horray for Agriculture.
HORRAY!
