PUFA-Free, Grain-free layer recipe

[FlockVillemaire]

They will not disclose their feed recipe. Which I get on one side but if you want people to be healthier, gatekeeping is not it.

Monopoly Profiteering. It's what keeps expensive health-related businesses above water. Profit rules don't change unless the rules of business change somehow. We can counteract that impulse freely here, just have to find the information that works on our own, if we can. Lots of studies are available, just time and understanding it needed to apply it to our own needs. And hopefully UNLOCKED studies, since our public tax dollars are constantly being used without our public access! [Rest in peace, actually suicided BEST HUMAN, Aaron Schwartz, (1986 -2013) after CIA-owned-MIT/FBI insane charges for 35-YEAR imprisonment AND a MILLION DOLLARS in fines 2 years after he bravely released public-funded studies to the public on MIT computers and just days before being locked away!]

My geese have eaten through the styrofoam insulation in my overhead garage door.

I've read the warnings on how chickens will eat styrofoam till death! Gotta get it all out of their reach! Now my biggest problem is clearing decades of disintegrating tiny plastic bits from my dad's "organic" acre! inflammatory microplastics are helping make us all fat & sickly in so many ways. They are easily in the backyard raised eggs we hoped to ensure were actually healthy.

I've done my part for the next thousand years. I was burning my trash, but started separating out the plastic because it got so nasty and sticky and foul. Basically ruins my trash cans.

I offer my free-range chickens dozens of options, nearly all organic. They choose to eat a moderate amount of organic cracked corn. OTOH they won't touch the expensive organic "low-pufa layer pellets" (which are mainly peas).

I TRUST MY CHICKENS.

My sense btw is that this "low pufa" thing is a fad. New research will discover that foods such as organic corn are actually good for us, that we've been overthinking it. Similar to how margarine was a health food while I was growing up, but then more research discovered that you "can't fool Mother Nature"... which many of us knew all along.

You gotta look at who profits! US corporate farming has insanely invested in corn for cheap animal & people feed. (Also, due to the anti-masturbation removal of animal proteins led by Harvey Kellogg of cornflake infamy, a physician and devout Seventh-Day Adventist in Battle Creek, Michigan!) Growing peas & far more low pufa greens in my chicken pasture will not fill their pockets.

People are also addicted to corn in every form, but it is still a high carb & high pufa junk food that sticks toxic fats in all our membranes. My flock goes crazy for all sorts of low quality treats just like we all do, (though since going Keto I have not had any more cravings.) I do try to limit it as much as possible for them.

Margarine? though invented with olive oil/animal fats over 2 centuries ago was soon made with highly processed hydrogenated industrial seed oils. By WW2 rationing, it became a corporate farming phenomenon that corporate-controlled science allowed to chronically sicken us all (diabetes rates have gone crazy, along with a lot of other illnesses that are highly related to the mitochondrial problems that trans fats (margarine) & easily oxidized omega 6's cause in ALL our cellular/mitochondrial membranes.) Did you hear? One of the few good things done in D.C. was dumping all the corporate advisors on all of our human health boards & organizations! A very big step in improving our failing science if we can get the $$$ out. Now they just have to clean up the corporate bias on all the medical journals that won't publish if a result is bad for their powerful Corn&Soy&Wheat sponsors.
