….would knit as well – maybe; but, might not sell as well. I have just finished reading an article about a couple in Sechelt, BC who created a super new vegan breakfast cereal that tastes great. They originally named it HapiFoods. The first day it went on-line, they sold 10 bags. A little later, based […]
