I sometimes wonder if I ever get to eat my own beef in a restaurant. Probably not. I would like to try waygu someday.

I have never had that. Neighbor raised a half wagyu beef, said it was good. We were told that the Japanese so rarely eat a good steak, that they want all the fat and flavor they can get. We have shipped calves to Japan before. My FIL loves the beef he gets over here. A steak he thinks...

Good news about all the Paleo stuff. It is driving up the consumption of red meat! Keep eating them steaks! Cooked some beef fajitas tonight. Spanish rice, re fried beans and corn tortillas. Pretty good, but I got every bleeding pan in the house dirty!

That is the trouble with putting out info. We need to find better ways to deliver that info into packages that can be digested by the people. There has to be a balance between content and time. You can sit down to a 3 hour, 15 course French dinner or you can slam a big mac. Same purpose...

Thanks for the kind words Cory.

Yeah, people should eat all the wheat and bread and such that they can get their hands on. Thats science.

I agree, we need to look past the labels. Gabe Brown is not an organic producer. His customers are the crunchiest granola bastards in North Dakota. They dont give a shit that its not "organic". He produces products that are beyond organic, they are sustainable, real sustainable, not bullshit...

Holy shit, what a post. Ask me some direct questions Cory, I will try to give you direct answers if the last essay was not clear.

In the olden days farm land was broke out in large blocks. You might have fields that were a half section to a full section, 640 acres. These fields were pretty young yet, and still had quite a bit of organic material still in them. The farming was done with conventional, heavy tillage. The...

My comment of the public driving a lot of what goes on was not meant to be all negative. There are some positive changes coming too I think.

Organic, IMHO, is a marketing gimick. Current methods of producing organic food is no better for the enviroment than conventional methods.

Human factors have a lot to do with it. We all know that smoking is bad, yet we still do it. Lots of folks still dont wear a seat belt. People still text and drive. Right now there is no incentive to make the switch, unless you are like us and looking for a life line. The govt is not...

Current Federal crop insurance regulations and incredibly high operating costs are keeping a lot of farmers out of the mix. That and competition. You may not think about it, but huge amounts of land is rented. For a whole bunch of reasons, the farmers dont try things because if a farmer...

HA! Shit. Now everyone's gonna know...........

I like that guy, but was afraid to mention him. Worried someone might think I was a quack for listening to him.

Is that cake in Danish? Snofler?

I was watching a program about food in England that was talking about packaged food. At the time the worst stuff you could buy was being marketed by Prince Charles. Maybe they changed it now.

Why do they call it an epidemic? Probably for the same reason we drink bottled water.

I think that artificial ingredients and chemicals are assigned E- numbers in Europe. They just list E numbers instead of writing out the whole name.

Oh, yes. Herbicides are part of the mix. So is low commodity prices, high interest rates, a broken federal crop system, inflation, manipulated markets, lower availabiility of labor, transportation costs and monopolies, fewer local markets, outrageous machinery prices. It isnt just because we...
