Growing up we had a little convenience store a few blocks away, conveniently called 'The Little Store'. My mom once told us a story about a time when we did not have much money. She bought a box of macaroni at The Little Store and when she got home there were little black bugs in it. She couldn't go get a new box of pasta so she just took the bugs out...and we ate it.
About ten years ago I also had to get caps put on my 'five-year' molars because they were weak and always gave me troubles. My dentist said that because my nutrition was not good around that time in my life my teeth did not develop as strongly as the others. This would support us having harder times at about that age.
After my mom opened her business we never really lacked money and she never really brought up the times that we didn't have much, so I am not sure what the real story is.....
