Pretty much that.
So me and my entire family went to a hardware store, and my mom found bird seed that she thought was free food. Of course, she swallowed it, without realizing it, and almost got us kicked out (and banned from the place). Later, when she passed by a dog food aisle, she kept talking about dog food being healthy, and that she was going to eat it when me (I'm 16) and my sister (13) are in college. That isn't very far off, and I seriously don't want her to do that. I know that dog food is not under the same standards as normal food that we'd eat. She still insists on it. I have no idea what got her into the idea, but, she seems to be serious. Is this normal, at all? I don't think she is being sarcastic, and i'd love to have her around, could anyone please help? Thanks.
P.S. I'm being serious. I know that this sounds like a really weird question, but I really don't want her to do that. Please don't think that this is another of those questions you'd find if you went to google images and searched something like "funny yahoo answers".
My mom says she is going to eat dog food while me and my sister are in college.., is this normal?

I am not sure exactly what your question is. Dog food has a lousy flavor for humans, and in fact it costs more than people food. A popular diet these days is the "Daniel Diet" from Daniel chapter 1 in the bible. If you buy beans and peas in five or ten pound bags, the price per pound is about half the price of dog food.
As for college, the reputation sux, and has for a long time. Teachers will tell you with a straight face not to expect anything from them because they didn't get their jobs by being good teachers. And that's the truth.
Get a simple job and a cheap pad within walking distance. That is so you don't have to waste your money on transportation. Save half of everything you earn. Yes, half. To start, keep your savings in gold or silver coins which you do not store in anybody else's vault. (IOW hide them at home.) Spend your evenings studying investment books at the public library. When you are smart enough then you can make other investments. If you earn ten bux an hour and save half, in only ten years you will have A HUNDRED THOUSAND BUX not counting interest or capital gains or paper profits: only principle. There is no other plan that will give you a net worth above zero in only ten years. And there is no school that will teach you any such thing.
Does this plan work? Andrew Carnegie worked five years, saved his wages, and then put it all into a tech stock: telegraph. You might have heard the name. His hobby was building concert halls and libraries.
Yeah, I'm not the best at wording questions, but, I was wondering if it was normal that she wanted to eat dog food. Oh and nice history
