All of these expenses would be completely unnecessary if the fundamental problem feedlot overproduction was banned outright. So our government is subsidizing ecologically damaging farming practices that lead to preventable human deaths from food poisoning. I m sure that most people have wondered how it is possible for McDonalds to sell meat products for less than a large soda. It s just another example of how our consumer economy benefits our pocketbooks, while costing us many times more in damage to the environment, human health, and other unquantifiable resources. If you eat meat, please support the farms and ranches that are producing it in a sustainable, ecological way.
Free range is good, organic is better.
Yes, it costs more, but you shouldn t eat that much meat anyway. You shouldn t have to be an animal rights supporter to see the logic anymore. If you have protests or reasons for us not to switch your drop-off day, please let us know soon. Last week s near 100 degree temps didn t just finish off our asparagus, they creamed the strawberry patch. The hot sun literally cooks any strawberries that are not safely hidden under the plant canopy, and the high temperatures cause the plants to stop initiating new flowers.
