I did not touch on the subject of GMO seed and the hooks that go along with it. Talk about medicine that has not been fully tested?

That one needs honest careful analysis of the consequences.

Dollars and cents do not tell the full story of that.

Not must fast food is cheaper than cooking economically at home.

Sounds nice! I grew up on a farm myself and miss it more every day.

soybeans and corn.

It’s just too easy now. A big machine readies the field. A big machine plants the roundup ready gmo seed. A big machine sprays it with roundup. A big machine harvests it. Repeat.

Why would a farmer want to grow anything else?

Can’t harvest tomatoes with a big machine.

Would you rather maintain a big machine or 50 Mexicans?

Didn’t some teen murder and bury some people on Donaldson’s ranch in the distant past?

Yep. I found it.

A elementary school near me has free breakfast lunch and after school snacks for the so called poor and not a thin one in the lot all chubby ones.
Most of the teachers let them graze on sweets during class time.
Not a good way to help a kid

It’s like what Thomas Sowell said: “One of the most ridiculous defenses of foreign aid is that it is a very small part of our national income. If the average American set fire to a five-dollar bill, it would be an even smaller percentage of his annual income. But everyone would consider him foolish for doing it.”
