Exposing the Fraud of Grocery Store Organic Eggs

[shortgrass]

Being an "urbanite" is a choice: there are vast swathes of this country that had people, indeed functioning communities, in them, just a few decades ago ..... and now are full of ghost towns and scattered farms tended by old men  ...... the kids by and large moved away chasing the almighty dollar and entertainment in the cities..... There is not an "overpopulation" problem ..... just a excess of people concentrated in urban areas that haven't got the sense God gave geese.

Ag policy in the United States is geared to provide food for these people as cheaply as possible, regardless of the cost to the people themselves ...... it makes them dependent, and easily controlled.

They get cheap (and often FREE) food, and free entertainment ..... but it's not good food, and to look at the majority of them the amount of they eat is debilitaing them .......

You get what you pay for, when you are dealing with reputable people.  Corporations are NOT people.

So entirely true... Sadly

Big AG makes it almost impossible for a family farm to function anymore without a bank... And the bank wants their profits....

We have to grow commercial crops just to be able to pay for the ones grown organically, and to feed our livestock, otherwise the whole farm woukd be lost within one generation, since the odds are stacked, 4 cousins out of 23 left on the farm, the rest gone to the "big money"...

BTW lol, just for interest, we sell our fee range organic eggs for $2.50 a dozen, knowing the ones at the store are pushing $5.00. I don't do the organic for profit, I do it to teach others to do the same

You're right on both counts.
Walk into a Wal-mart and ask people buying eggs or chicken if they are concerned about poultry welfare and you'll get a far away stare. Of course the nutritional value of free range eggs and meat is far superior but are most people willing to pay $6 a dozen for that or are they content with blah eggs for $2.99 a dozen from Wallyworld?

Most people have no concept of good nutrition. That's why the collective health on the planet continues to plummet.
You're preaching to the choir when presenting this stuff to me. I've been a rabid nutrition Nazi for several decades.

LOL. You are right. The average American is so dumbed down these days, it's scary.

Preaching to the choir here too.....longtime marketing skeptic, marketing/labeling for most products is full of untruths.

Anyone remember when they started slapping the word 'natural' on food packaging?

It's actually worse now with the rise in nutrition/ecology awareness,
marketers thread those buzzwords thru a plethora of loopholes to put them on packages.....
....and the sheeple still believe them and 'spread the word'.

Opened bag of powdered sugar the other day, labeled 'naturally fat free'...geeeezzzsh, SHM.

Wowwwwww ROFL

Outright lies, deceptions, using the sheeple for large profit. The sheeple unknowingly suffer, at their own choice, while plugging their ears saying "tell us more lies".

 

[shortgrass]

A great example of that...

I can't remember the fast food chain, but it was recent; I saw an ad on the window to "upgrade your soda to extra large and we will donate 10% to find a cure for diabetes"...


Ummmm... Ok, I want to move away from this planet... Or at least this country lol

When we stop empowering Government (and therefore Big Money) to pick winners and losers, this stuff will straighten itself out.....
