I will admit that the crap they put in our food is unhealthy.
I traveled to Europe last year for 10 days and lost 6-7 pounds without even trying and I was eating plenty.
Stuff like HFCS and Bromine should be banned from our food.
Yes! Exactly what I am going for.
See, that there looks like a man that would jump a pickup truck over a bonfire.
I looked out the window and saw a deer, head down in the tomato
plants having breakfast.
I opened the front door to shoo it away, and saw the other deer.
The other one was further away from the house, and it ran as soon
as I opened the door. (Probably the female.)
The first one (probably the male) totally ignored me and continued eating.
After yelling at it for a minute, and waving my arms, I succeeded
in getting it's attention.
It raised it's head from out of the tomato plants, with a
whole tomato in it's mouth, cocked it's head sideways,
looked at me and if it could have talked would have said:
"Yo, dude - like WHAT is your PROBLEM?
Can't you see you're interrupting my breakfast here?"
To make the long story short - after some more yelling and arm- waving,
it dropped the tomato from it's mouth, and joined
the other deer that had retreated about 30 feet into the
woods across the street.
Where it stopped, turned around, and stared at me - as if it
was waiting for me to leave.
It took more yelling, arm-waving and me advancing towards
it to get IT to leave. Brazen beast.
All of the deer in the area feasted all summer long, and into
the fall, on my tomatoes.
But I have (non-lethal) plans for them this year, however - to repel them.
.
And last spring there was a late cold snap that killed my zucchini
one night. All of the plants, every single one.
Hopefully I'll do better this year. (But not trying zucchini this time.)
I like it Sam. The seasoned Fabio look.
It says: My days of fire-jumping trucks are over. Now I drive a Maserati and take your mom out on dates.
XD
As far as processed foods are concerned, that is something different and that is why there are ingredient labels on the boxes.
Sounds like you have the same breed of deer we have, bold and unafraid. I joke that you could go deer hunting with a handful of birdseed and a hammer.
I saw a rabbit last year hiding under some tomato plants. I set a live trap. A raccoon and 2 snunks later I pulled the trap. No rabbit.
Also, one would have to have a very discerning group of taste buds to determine what the animal was injected with.
In other words, meat is meat. It is nutritious and necessary for life.
As I previously said, I am nearly 80 and have done a lot of things and have eaten lots of things, including C-rations among some meals.
I’ve been buying some of the “Dirty Dozen” in the organic section, but I am seriously considering dropping that practice because of the ridiculously high prices.
It was in the southwest corner of the yard, eating my bean plants.
I got out of the car and went back there and tried to shoo it away.
It would have none of it.
It huffed & puffed and stomped it's front hooves.
It was making sure that I understood that they were HIS bean plants,
and he was going to eat them ALL.
Huff and Puff - Stomp Stomp.
I didn't think it was a good idea to swat the thing on it's
rear end to try to drive it away - it might kick me in the head.
So I shrugged my shoulders, left the deer to it's meal,
and went inside.
The next morning the bean plants - all of them - were GONE.
Stems and all, flush with the ground.
But my experiment was a success - the dried pink beans,
pinto, kidney and black beans that you buy in the
grocery store for 99 cents a bag WILL grow if planted.
Bob’s Red Mill. You can’t go wrong with it.
Just because it says organic doesn’t mean it. Lots of substituion. “Organic” is more image than substance. It is a marketing/fad effort.
Look at other factors for food quality.
There are pros and cons to everything.
I took some organic chickens to a processor once and half of them died on the way, they were that unhealthy. BUT THEY WERE ORGANIC.
