freewheat - I think you're the happiest and most contented person on this whole forum! Keep up the good work!

Free is one of the few "mixed family farms" around here, diversified to the max. Yup you sound content.

[blackpowder]

I second that!! Jealousy intended.

Now,if the whole world raised chickens this way?????

[BFW]

if chicks are 8 bucks a piece the cattle industry is really screwed. I can see roving herds of chickens on the prairies already. Grassfarmer sell the cows, I am shutting the feedlot down and starting a chicken ranch.

I don't know, pretty content here laying in the sun at 90 F with no stupid chickens to take care of.

Freewheat:

It has probably been thirty five years that I have sold eggs off the farm. One thing I am surprised about is when you say that you let your chickens free range. When we sold eggs, I would say at least seventy five percent of our customers would not buy dark yokes, so we kept ours penned. Got to the point I myself did not like the dark yokes. Lol funny how the mind can play tricks.

There is good science to back up why there is such a difference in factory or farm,and the tidal wave of what the consumer wants shouldn't be ignored.

The world is suffering from a major vitamin and mineral deficiency and people are waking up,i could blab about it for hours.

The food industry in nirth america created An eating disorder! Literally.
I never used to give a shit about any of this stuff until I started growing and eating hemp. Then I learned it is very healthy, so... Why not.
I recently watched a youtube video lecture called "Sugar-the bitter truth" maybe it was suggested here. Its very insightful about the biochemistry and how calories are not calories. It all ties into the Nixon era, the war on poverty and cheap food.
The summary was in a span if 40 years the American food industry has taken away the people's freedom (biochemical sugar addiction) , their wallets, and their health.

Im kind of suprised that Cotton acknowledges some of these trends.
I am also suprised everytime an AVer calls the consumer stupid. Its incredible.
