Reduce it to a matter of a socially and politically irresponsible character defect probably.

Despite our governor blocking constraints on meat packing, the employees are getting vaccine.

Abolishing the meat industry could really help reducing that obesity problem.

A lot of the Omaha operation is chickens. Chickens are grown in s massive operation not too far from me and shipped to near Omaha for slaughter, freezing etc. Most of the Costco chickens come from my state.

You don't want cooties in factory chickens. We can go buy them from a local farm and freeze.

I don't know how people can stand the frankenchickens, or how a worse performing product became the preference...maybe some market guru can explain it.

My sister in law drives out to the farm and buys chickens and beef. It's all packaged in paper. We give her coolers to put it in. It's organic as far as I am concerned. I'm pretty sure they feed the animals GMO corn and soybean. So what?

Much more like it Jim. The hamburger was one of the worst food inventions.

If that were the only chemical in the process, I would be OK. I just eat the chickens that ate the glyphosate. And the Bt toxin. But there are still a lot of chemicals besides those. The seeds alone are full of chemicals, and we always make extra seeds. It's a big mass to dispose at the end of the season. They should just bury it, as it is too large to burn. Now it ends up at the ethanol plant. But I think they stopped that.

Texas is the same really. Our governor is probably weaker even than Florida's. That's why my county can swear to never follow mask mandates, or to limit capacity, even while the county next door does both.

The schools aren't listening to the gov either.
