WASHINGTON, June 1, 2022 - Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is announcing details of a framework to transform the food system...

"Ascendance of a Bookworm" - S2E3 (A 2020 Japanese anime)
“Equity” means whites become bottom b&^%$#s.
“Grow your own food.”
I’ve been encouraging people to do that and am following my own advice.
BTW, FR has a good gardening thread.
The Beta Generation.
Generation B.
In Michigan, meat processing typically is under the state ag dept. It’s when you step into the realm of wholesale, either intra or inter-state commerce that the USDA comes in. As to full-time inspection, that is only dependent upon volume of sales. Most small federally licensed facilities get a daily visit for a brief time or must schedule kills on specific days according to their schedule. Either way, whether an inspector is there 8 minutes or 8 hours, the billing is 8 hours I believe. It’s fairly lucrative and the pay is high.
High on my list is “fair” food. /s
I have personally been to LEF farms in Loudon, NH.
https://www.brightfarms.com/farms/new-hampshire/
This is a fully automated hydroponic greenhouse operation in central NH. They grow lettuce. They package it and sell it to grocery stores.
This is what I like about it. There are NO illegal aliens employed to pick the lettuce and package it. The space it takes up in relation to its yield/acre is relatively small.
They grow it year round 24/7. There is never any ecoli contamination. It is never touched by human hands prior to packaging. It ships to the store from less than a couple hundred miles away to most destinations. It is not being shipped from Chile in the winter or Mexico or Florida or California.
“Fairer” destroys food. Watch.
At least BrightFarms lettuce does see the sun. One has to wonder if the lack of soil microorganisms has any effect on nutrition. How does sterile food affect gut flora/microbiota?
I guess like margarine, lead, we'll find out if it's good or bad in some decades.
They’re trying to kill us. There’s no other rational explanation.

We put potatoes in for the first time this year. Seems like the most bang for the buck.
They’re doing well so far

The buffoons running the USDA could/will fu*k up a one car funeral.
Everyday I’m more excited over the 6 acres of unrestricted/agricultural property we just bought up in the N GA foothills. Everyone is fleeing Atlanta for the rural areas. Our friends just picked up 16 acres of rolling pasture to put up a barndominium. By the end of summer we will at least have fruit and nut trees and blueberry bushes out plus a large garden and chicken coop. Our neighbor and good friend just told us he’s selling out and moving up near where we are going.
I personally have no interest in planting a garden. I have planted and grown as many as 6 tomato plants. Nothing larger than that. I have 12 acres. SO, no shortage of land.
I just do not see the ROI. I have done that with fruit trees and blueberry bushes. They will pay for themselves hopefully by the time I am dead.
I believe this is the next best thing other than buying locally grown food at the farmers markets. It is certainly better than buying food grown thousands of miles away. If you believe in the carbon footprint, it is a heck of a lot better than something grown in Chile.
Personal automobiles met a similar fate in February 1942 as auto manufacturers
converted their factories to produce jeeps and ambulances and tanks. Gasoline
was rationed starting in May of that year, and by the summer even bicycle
purchases were restricted.
The government began rationing certain foods in May 1942, starting with sugar. Coffee
was added to the list that November, followed by meats, fats, canned fish, cheese, and
canned milk the following March. Newspapers, home economics classes, and government
organizations offered all sorts of tips to help families stretch their ration points and have
as much variety in their meals as possible.
Propaganda posters urged Americans to plant “victory gardens” and can their own vegetables
to help free up more factory-processed foods for use by the military. Restaurants instituted
meatless menus on certain days to help conserve the nation’s meat supply, and advertisers
offered up recipes for meatless dinners like walnut cheese patties and creamed eggs over
pancakes. Macaroni and cheese became a nationwide sensation because it was cheap,
filling, and required very few ration points. Kraft sold some 50 million boxes of its
macaroni and cheese product during the war.
“Fairer, More Competitive, More Resilient” - get ready to starve...
It will be a different life style for those that have been
raised in community settings as opposed to a more rural area.
Tending to a garden of any size takes effort at certain times
which can’t be avoided.
Absolutely nothing good can ever possibly come from this.
Steak and lobster are already on the EBT card menu. What else?
Another massive give away to special interest parties. I see hogs lining up to the trough right now. Remember ACORN and the local green grocer selling moochie’s arugula? They are back... in a new format.
I’ve been gardening for years. Raised beds are way more productive and a lot less work. The only thing we plan to till up is a corn patch. We have had a chicken coop off our back deck for years in our subdivision. I’m just going to jump up from 5 chickens to 25 chickens and add a few ducks and a couple of turkeys.
