Thread Name: BS: Spam Could be Stopped Right Now
Subject: RE: BS: SPAM Could be STOPPED Right Now
Digression-

Spam, the famous precooked pork product, chopped shoulder and ham with potato starch and the usual nitrite preservative, was an instant hit when it was introduced by Hormel in late-depression days, 1937.
American troops took it around the world, and it is part of popular named food offerings in SE Asia, as well as Hawaii. Condemmed out of hand by many, it is a good source of protein, packed in cans that are proof against contamination.
Wikipedia says one can is consumed every 3.8 seconds in the U.S.


We are not addressing the original intent of the post by JohninKansas, i. e., stopping the internet kind.

Nor has anyone answered my query- would it be legal to stop it? Are there any laws against it?
Not that spam is a problem to me, but can we find answers to these questions?
