The population would definitely be "checked" if we lost our precious USDA and FDA. We would no longer be able to trust just any food in the store. We would be compelled to produce more for ourselves and trade on a local level with people who we know and trust. Doesn't sound like a bad deal in...

I read this part and stopped, opened a new tab, and chromegooglefied hyperbole. "Yes," I said, switched tabs and continued reading... Quote: Then I saw the link! HA! Perfect. The chicken man learned a new word today. English is my first language, but it's a real "mother" so I'm still...

Sensitivity is not a shortcoming. It reflects your respect for the life that gives us life. I don't believe anyone could pluck a chicken and deny that it is real. I wouldn't force my daughter to cut a chicken's throat before allowing her to eat meat, but I do try to instill in her a respect for...

Handling the part that nobody wants to think about does give one a greater respect for what he eats, and a greater respect for the critters that feed us. Nobody snarls when I kill a homegrown tomato, and they all know how much better they are. I think things will change when more people get a...

I killed the first two roosters from my flock yesterday and the reactions from people upon hearing this have been amazing! First they snarl and wrinkle their noses, then they say "really?!" ...as if they can't believe that I would eat a real chicken, one that had been alive!!! One lady was...
