“Big Meat” tries to silence its critics
Reader S. L. sent me the link to this video from cattleman Jim Mundorf describing “how there is an obvious campaign to get cattlemen, who criticize the way the industry currently operates, to shut the hell up”. I recommend spending 8 minutes of your time watching it. In particular, note what he says about… Continue reading “Big Meat” tries to silence its critics
Picking up the pieces of our daily routine
There’s no Memes That Made Me Laugh post this week, as my travels precluded gathering them from here and there as I normally do. The regular Memes post will return next Monday. Let’s start out the week with a smile. Task & Purpose is a military-oriented Web site that often has useful, interesting articles. … Continue reading Picking up the pieces of our daily routine

At first I couldn’t believe this report wasn’t a joke – but as I read and re-read it, I realized that yes, some people are indeed that stupid. I bet Colonel Sanders never even dreamed of something this daft! The US Food and Drug Administration is warning against a social media challenge which involves… Continue reading Colonel Sanders must be spinning in his grave like a dynamo…
Bad news for America’s farmers
Australians are unhappy – to put it mildly – to learn that a third consecutive year of La Niña is likely, stretching into 2023. Much of Australia will face unusually heavy rains in coming months, the country’s weather forecaster said on Tuesday, after confirming that a La Niña weather event is under way for… Continue reading Bad news for America’s farmers
Value for money?
I got a shock when reading a post titled “Conversations with a Nebraska farmer” at Eaton Rapids Joe’s blog the other day. The last few paragraphs caught my attention. He said a 14 ounce package of Doritos has about 5 cents of corn in it when corn is $4 a bushel. That package of… Continue reading Value for money?
Um… not so fast on food self-sufficiency…
I had to laugh when I came across a post on Gab claiming “That’s how much you need to become self-sufficient“. Click the image for a larger view. Um… not so fast. That’s an illustration of perfection, showing a garden with very fertile soil, a favorable climate, no pests to speak of, and enough… Continue reading Um… not so fast on food self-sufficiency…
