klopklop have a wonderful vacation.
Ralphie you are bursting my bubble about going back to the good food days for everyone. I' not sure about the feed the world thing, not sure you could call what we have for food in the US as food". I was just reading the other day about some pork farmer who was trying to market his pork as free of this one multisyllable pork hormone additive, and the article pointed out that we can't export pork to most of europe, china and russia because of the additive. Would really like to think of us as having food just as safe as anywhere else.
Probably 20 years ago I was in England on business, in a small village and for breakfast had scrambled eggs. could not believe how yummy they were. Asked the waiter, what was in the eggs? he looked at me like I was just a whacko american and said, eggs. I said no really what did you put in them? He repeats, just eggs. Then he came back to the table and said, well maybe a drop of cream.
It wasn't until a few years later that I started keeping my own chickens and had "real" egg that I figured out that the English guy had eggs from chickens, not factory farmed eggs. Chicken raised here tastes so much better than factory raised chicken. I figure, everything does. You know, a bakery that starts with flour tastes so much better than the factory grocery bread, even when they bake it at the grocery store they are just pouring out the bag and adding water or something.
At a garage sale the mom was helping her 9 year old sell some banana bread. I said, you made this yourself? little girl says yes, it is homemade. I said I bet it is good and bought it (kind of pricey I thought at 5 bucks for a tiny loaf, but...) . got home, took one bite, and darned if it was a boxed mix, you could taste the chemicals and artificial garbage. Had to throw it out.
oh well, I just want real food. real chickens. and somehow a real farm doesn't seem to be the one with the 1,000 cows. why do you think my name is lalaland? its where I want to live, not in reality!! Actually, am working hard ot make my own reality as best as it can be.
