Spam in full fat or lower fat versions are a Yankee, "American" canned food with pork hog shoulders, fat, and preserving saline gel. Span is most popular in Hawaii. I try to stay away from it, because of the fats and sodium nitrite preserving. Spam is made by Hormel Foods and a plant is at Stockton, California, U.S.A. in the agricultural great Central Valley and Delta region here. Meat prices are higher these days, because animal feed and transportation fuel prices are higher. Animal feed is often used to make fuel alcohols for the petroleum industries, thus causing food prices to be higher and food insecurity for lower income households. We have food banks, instead of soup kitchens and bread lines, terrible.
