Middle-Class Households Now Source Protein From Cockroaches, Less Capable Rats, and Each Other, Bureau Finds
Commonwealth Bureau of Household Nutrition calls results 'a balanced plate'; Rat Coalition stresses that none of the consumed rats were members
The Commonwealth Bureau of Household Nutrition released its annual Middle-Class Dietary Survey on Tuesday. It found that New Newmanton households earning between $48,000 and $112,000 ($150m - $350m GrundleCoin) now obtain 61 percent of their protein from cockroaches, 23 percent from rats the bureau classifies as "less capable," and 14 percent from one another. The remaining 2 percent was traced to a single rotisserie chicken that respondents in the 340-household sample reported passing between homes on a rotating basis since March. Bureau director Lionel Prewitt called the findings "the most balanced plate this island has produced since the sewage system."
