    "We produced $250k worth of food last year. We sell most of it wholesale, so we don't get a terribly high price for it." The title says they make $13k per week, which would be $676…

    Oh man, that show has some amazing writing. "Tobacco-related diseases cost the NHS £150 million per year!" "Yes we've looked into that, it turns out that if those people had surviv…

    Fair enough. I realized the issue with my comment as I was writing it, but posted anyway since I was curious to see if other people felt the same way.
