Yum. “Not Invented Here” comes to food distribution.

Glad I live in Texas. Keep the steaks coming. Medium-rare.

So much for citrus fruits in far northern climates...

The endangered Desert Tortiose is amenable to slow braising.

Don't rush it, that's the key!

“So-called “locavore” advocates usually make environmental arguments for reducing our “food miles,” the distance food travels from farm to fork. This, too, is just another trendy foodie myth.”

This bs combined with the green sustainable food BS will starve most of us if they get control of our food supply.

A little over a year ago, one of these green eco terrorists started a so called locavore/sustainable produce market in our city. She would go into a high self righteous orbit explaining how great this concept was. Yet, she had no answer to who should starve to death in our county since we only have a handful of farmers selling produce in the local farmers market or to the local grocery stores.

Thanks to truth in labeling re where produce comes from this Eco B$tch now pushes organic produce. She never was a able to get a contract with the few local farmers, who preferred to use capitalism and sell in our local farmers’s market. Her “Organic” produce with bugs and whatever comes from all over our hemisphere.

I was in Colorado during peach season, the wanted $48 per bushel!!!!!!!!! At the roadside stands! And they were just like the ones at the store, picked before they were ripe.

My husband’s cousin from Maine was recently here and talking about how Europe was so much further ahead of us in the local distribution of food. I turned my head and rolled my eyes.

Granted there are extremes that could save everyone money but if someone is selling something in California and someone in NY wants it and pays for it, then they should be allowed to buy it.

If I don’t eat a banana every morning I feel hungry all day. Does that mean I have to eat breakfast in Ecuador?

Should they manage to pass health care reform and Cap & Trade they will have the means to control the food supply. Bureaucrats will be able to make the decisions without any further legislation. The government health care managers can make a health issue out of how food is grown and who gets to eat it. The energy managers can make an environmental issue out of it based on CO2. Check and checkmate. Game over.

Go first to the Central Valley in Calif and sell this theory to the farmers who own the 2 million acres there which have had their water cut to less than 10% of what they are legally entitled to have to raise their crops and produce food for many more than their own families.

There is a reality TV show on this called "The 100 Mile Experiment". Families are challenged to live using only things produced within a 100 mile radius of their town.

It's on the Green Channel. I have not watched it yet, but there could be some good ideas for minimalist living that we may need to brush up our skills on soon.
