I never got passed to the consumer though. Just kept climbing. Cargill is raking in killer profits.
I had a summer job as a track man on an Erie & Lackawanna Railroad section gang, at $1.85 per hour, a great wage for a 20 year old College Joe getting ready for his senior year's tuition. But there was enough margin for me to buy steaks to treat my Dad, Mom, two Grandmas, and soon-to-be-engaged girlfriend. I could do with less than two days' wages of hard work, three or four times that memorable year.
In the evenings I was reading the autobiography of our dear war hero President Ike, still enjoying the morality of a decent environment, moving ahead confidently, even though in a "Cold War."
I was also glad that Joe McCarthy and VP Nixon were staying ontop of thing, although a number of social do-gooders and movie star aficianos were not. But I was quite happy for gaining traction in the New York Army National Guard combat arms that I'd enlisted in the year before.
A Great Society won by the GI veterans that trained me, and their dedicated civilian praying supporters, was coming to an end, unbeknown by the last of us born in it, never to recur.
Only a few yet alive can understand the sense of it, and now yearn with tears for its past joys and romances, free of psychoactive drugs and overwhelming vociferous "gayism."
It can be said that the lamentable decline can be laid squarely at the door of the irreligious unchristian "progressive" minority who have schemed to overturn the written Will of our Founders--the Declaration of Independence from titled moneyed tyranny embodied in the language of their Constitution of how we should be governed, even today. But now we can't even select our representatives by vote, but must submit to liars securing the rule overus through a surplus of policy-determning fake harvested ballots, not the will of real living reasoning humans.
That we should dine on pretend-vegetable flora from yeast or gene-modified microbes and lab-grown ovine, bovine, or porcine "flesh" marketed as animal muscle tissue (who knows that it is not "anus" rather than Angus?); what a parody of human success in the application of science to sustain the bionic activity its externally re-genderized demonic spiritually dead jiving posterity.
God help us and the three or four generations that have followed.
May the prophesied return of the Savior for His Own be soon. Amen.
Maranatha!
I remember my parents telling us about how meat was the cheapest in the 1930s. Steak for breakfast, lunch, dinner.
So FDR decided to get the price UP by buying up millions of head of livestock, shooting and burying them.
And people who had no jobs and were starving in those years were denied the meat. It had to be buried.
They did, and still do, the same with agricultural products.
My neighbor had many acres of perfectly good peanuts they just plowed under......................
Well, genetcs will be a lot easier and quicker in the lab than on cow-borne grass-fed calves, eh? Mo barbwire, either.
I’ll eat less real meat for more money before eating their artificial crap
Great thing to muse on.
And Amen!!!!
If I have to resort to an alternative to beef, it will be something natural; not some crap from a lab.
My wise grandfather taught his grandchildren to respect ‘the taboo structure’ which civilizes a society. That is the very thing the evil has targeted and erased, the taboo structure. Such a structure is maintained by collective assent by we the people ... and destroyed by our inattention and shirking our sovereign responsibilities.
I’m in a couple of online discussion groups for “backyard” meats. One focuses on rabbits, one on quail. Both have been increasing drastically with people looking at home-grown meat sources.
It’s both encouraging and depressing to see.
I bought three chuck roasts last week @$4.99. Pork roasts are good, I can usually find them @$1.99. Chicken legs and thighs and whole chickens are cheap too. I gave up vegetables four years ago.
“May the prophesied return of the Savior for His Own be soon. Amen.
Maranatha!”
I could not have said any better.
Maranatha!
I guess I’d better fence my 13 acres and get some cows!
is that the big round bale?
At least we have cheap gasohol!
I throw away fertilizer with every flush.
My three miles down a county road that T’s from a state highway there are 16 homes.
The rest is fields of either corn or soybeans in alternating years.
One fella does have about a dozen cows.
LOL! Rabbit is as far down the Food Chain as I go. If I ever have squirrels in the attic, I’ll pass them on to you. ;)
