hammondjam ARE YOU A VEGETARIAN

[Mr T]

Triple-post alert - all of these foods are available locally, from Oklahoma farmers.  There are shortages, and they do cost more, and you have to eat in season.  No strawberries or asparagus in January. :smile:

We have two-three meatless nights a week.  HJ loves lentils, and one night a week we have bean tostadas, and we have soup and grilled cheese.  All the stuff is organic or local or home-grown and no preservatives or artificial colors.  All of this is available locally, even Walmart for some stuff.

Before you figure we are rich and this is all very well and good for us, I will say that our yearly income is a big five digits, in the low twos. :smile:  We do save money by not buying stuff made from petroleum to throw away - trash bags, baggies, saran wrap, or stuff like paper plates and napkins, again made to throw away.  First law of ecology - There Is No Such Place As Away.

WHY Mr T DOESN'T THE DOWNING FAMILY FARM RAISE BLACK ANGUS AND THEY  GRAZE FREELY IN A PASTURE AND  TAKEN TO Federal USDA inspected facility and are processed to your specs.

[Mr T]

Mr Willy, are you high?  I just told you he is not a vegetarian.  I bought him a pork roast at Whole Foods in Tulsa for his birthday.  I thought he was going to cry.  Tears :smile: of joy, of course.

I don't know why they don't choose Black Angus - lots of folk around here grow those.  Their processing facility is fully approved.  The difference is that the cows and beefs and pigs and chickens eat grass and bugs instead of Monsanto GMO corn so they don't need all the antibiotics,  and they don't finish at CAFOs on corn, ditto. 

Cows are not made to eat corn.  All the acid balances in their many stomachs go wrong and they grow e coli 151, which didn't exist until we started feeding them government-subsidized corn.  Plus the processing is human-scaled.  They are real people with real animals.  100 days finished on corrn?  See that in the ads?  It is because the cows will die if they do it any longer.

It is an inspected facility, but it doesn't process hundreds of thousands of animals in filthy inhuman and inhumane conditions every hour. 

It's up to you, Mr Willy - you can choose to continue to believe absolutely everything the government says, or you can free your mind and see the truth.  I don't blame you if you don't.

I'm outta here!

Mr. Willy you are on the internet so go to www.hulu.com and watch the "The Future of Food" for free. It is only 1:28 minutes long and it will open your eyes or watch Food INC. at Mr. T/Ham has suggested on netflix or go rent it at your local video store. I'm with T/HAM, watch a different point of view than what the government has been feeding you, get it, feeding you, lol.

For those of us who has worked for the federal government knows better ::;:

Tribal leaders appear to be more concerned with profit than providing decent health care of their people. I find that extremely offensive.

For being free, tribal medicine is pretty good.

I agree they are extremely chintzy with pain meds though. If they werent Rush Limbaugh would have been sitting in there trying to get a script.

The IHS is better than the white mans medical system when ya aint got enough money or insurance.

Could tribal governments be even more generous? Some could.

And if the US government did half as much for its citizens as the Chickasaw Nation does for its citizens there would be no 'ginned up 'anti-government movements.

There might be a 'realistic' better government movement though.

And thats why they were trying to change the name of HFCS to corn sugar.

Cause its sooooooo good for you.

Lets just rename pot, Natural Herbal Life Enhancement Product.

If Monsanto gets the OK from the guv to start genetic engineering on pot(for medicinal use). we might see something like that. "Ask your physician or health care provider about NEW Cannabull. NOW in child doses!"  Once it's open to copyright, it'll be amazing to see how safe it is! Of course, it'll be Frankenpot so who knows what it will do. Changing a couple of tRNA's may not be good in the long run.

I bought him a pork roast at Whole Foods

M.T how much corn did that hog eat

[Whoo]

mr. willy, if your sole purpose is to join in on this forum and post one thing after another that is obviously the exact opposite of the opinions you see on here, you are nothing more than a silly little troll and should just go elsewhere.  I have seen far better trolls than you, and don't want to waste anymore time trying to be nice.  If you have a valid, personal-based opinion, fine; if you want to post more tripe, take your ass on down the road, troll. >:(

M.T how much corn did that hog eat

The hogs that they raise are a mixture of a lard hog and an English hog. They did this for flavor as well as giving the hogs the ability to run in the pasture. "Pink" pigs can't take the Oklahoma sun but darker ones can.

In answer to your query...none. They eat what wild hogs eat. It's too hard and expensive to try to find corn that isn't Monsanto's GMO corn.

This isn't some hippie-dippy thing that we just latched onto. We've been researching for quite a while. Also, if you ate some of the pork that WE eat, you'd never touch a Smithfield porker again. That flavorizing liquid they inject into the meat before sale is hiding something. Very little flavor!

Here is the website that will tell you about the family farm.   http://www.oklahomafood.coop/shop/producers/p2913.php

[hammondjam]

The family farm is all but gone. Through subsidies from the government, industrial farming and ranching has spread like a fungus and now there are only a handful of large corporations that control most of our food.

You might like to check into Smithfeild in Tar Heel, N.C. Those great Americans were sending out invitations to Mexican nationals that invited them in the country to work with transportation being provided. This was done for cheap labor as well as to bust up the union. After they got so much work from the Mexicans, the Feds would swoop in during the night and arrest a couple of vanloads for being here illegally. In all this, NO Smithfield execs were EVER arrested or even questioned. Is THIS the America that the WW2 vets fought for?
BIG BROTHER isn't the government. The government WORKS for BIG BROTHER!!
