You may be surprised at how nuts things get.

Not surprised in the least bit. Gee that Rural Council Committee coming to light. See, Government doesn't want you to be self sufficient. How dare you.

Shame, but it will get worse.

And the FDA? That's a huge joke in itself. No labels, no packaging. And what was the Government reasoning behind having to protect you from yourself? Where's the proof?

Shame, but it will get worse. Can't disturb McDonald's farm's profits. And when McDonald's farms fail, where do you think they will get their replacements? Can we say your farm? Did you ever notice how McDonalds is the only fast food beef restaurant that does NOT advertise as US beef. Hmmm....

But anyway, it's coming and it will get worse. Desperate men do desperate things in desperate situations.

Farms in Ohio organized a bunch of "farm to fork" type of events this fall without incident. That story was just plain crazy.

FYI, in regard to McDonalds and other fast food restaurants, unless that burger says 100% beef, don't be surprised if what you are chowing down on is actually ground horse meat. I saw a news piece on this subject earlier this year... then of course I was in the grocery store and saw a tube of "100% ground" It didn't say beef...

McDonalds DOES have an excellant track record, however, for humane animal slaughter and generally keeps it's origin of growth, processing and production is within the country where the food is served. In other words, if the food is served in the US, the meat usually is produced in the US. If served in China, the meat is usually produced in China, etcetera.

I'm not saying that it is healthy food, but as for the production and care and processing of the animals, they are to be commended for their practices on that score.

Well, if the Bledsoe's had just gotten on board, teamed up with ADM etc, and joyfully embraced the corporate farm structure, used Genetically Modified produce, kowtowed to every single little govt agency self empowered tyrant that thinks they have a bit of power over each of us, there wouldn't have been a problem. Gee--What WERE these people thinking? That they know more about safe production practices than someone sitting in a corner office regulatory setting far from the soil and sun? Never forget folks--"We are your gooberment--trust us----here to serve-here to help".

Really...hmmm, OK if you say so. Totally respectfully disagree on that one. But to each his own.

BTW, this is the same company that tried to tell us that the quarter pounder with cheese styrofoam container was bio-degradable. Yep, its true. Styrofoam..biodegrable.

Virtually everything is "biodegradable"--- given enough time.
