Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

I have become cold hearted in my old age, to the point of hoping companies like Epicurious join the sports franchises. Coke etc. go broke due to pushing the lefts political agenda.
I should have added that we don't even eat beef any more due to some health issues, but many people do eat beef.
I eat beef.
And I'm happy to stick with grilling steaks w/ some Montreal seasoning. Or traditional burgers. I don't need Epicurious. Epicurious Will No Longer Publish Recipes With Beef To Stop The Climate Emergency
I saw a recipe on Epicurous for imported mineral water. Imported mineral water uses a LOT more fossil fuel energy to get to your table than tap water. But as imported mineral water is chic, it gets a pass. Epicurious stated that vegan recipes are more "sustainable" than beef recipes. I am reminded of a blog discussion I got into about Cuban agriculture. I pointed out the collapse of Cuban agriculture under 6 decades of Castroismo. The blog owner's reply came that in terms of sustainability, Cuban agriculture ranked VERY high. Yes, but 50-70% of Cuban foodstuffs are imported, so that is not an accurate "sustainability" matrix. The blogger shut off comment before I could make that reply. Facts are not nice. Kind of like the blob Michael Moore and his wonderful opinions about medical care in Cuba. They don't want to see the truth as it doesn't fit their narrative.
Eating less Meat won't save the Planet. Here's Why

https://rumble.com/embed/vcchtf/?pub=1 1:20 video. That is the most depressing thing I have seen all month. A four star general mouthing diversity. As long as you don’t speak or believe in those conservative things; that’s not the diversity we are looking for.
Check out Red China's videos and you will be even more depressed.
Awful! Just Awful! So much for the "best military in the world."
Re Epicurious: the "money" quote - "For every burger recipe we didn’t publish, we put a vegetarian recipe into the world instead; rather than articles about ground beef, we talked about alt-meats from brands like Lightlife, a sponsor of this collection of recipes." ...brands like Lightlife... it's a grift. Had "The Beef People "sponsored" some recipes, you know dang well they'd been run.
Anyone requiring a recipe to make a burger should probably not be trusted near a hot stove anyway.
I use a plant based diet; the bovine eats the plants and I use its milk and meat. The animal can eat plants that I can get no nutrition from. If the world only had plants for human consumption, it would lose plant diversity. You either have diversity or you don't.
Wow. The Day of the Jackal all over again. Of course, that one was premised on the granting of independence to Algeria. I guess this sequel could be premised on granting it residency.
Re: Masking for the vaccinated as a symbol of ‘solidarity’ is downright dumb
“Dumb” is not the word I would use. It’s much more sinister than that. I heard a state health official speaking on the local NPR station this morning. I like to call this station "Radio Free Radical". Anyway, he was saying things are looking better, why it's almost getting safe enough to be outside without a mask on, and maybe OK to go to inside events, provided you are wearing a mask.
'Safe enough to be outside without a mask'. Almost. Indoor masking may be permanent in some places, but not where I live. "The pandemic theater was always there, but we did not go to it any more."
Mask wearing has been pretty much optional in NW Fl since Christmas. I ignore corporate mandates and employees ignore my rebelliousness. During Mass, masks have been optional for months. We started greeting with a handshake (rather than waving) others before Easter.
We're not dying in droves. I bet this story attached - about Chinese murder in vancouver - has more to do with the severed feet than the unlikely tale you'll read in that "science" journo....

As far as voting? I have my sticker for voting in 2020 for my President trump.....last time I will vote. Once the crooks have complete, unchallenged control of all mechanisms of government, there is no going back. |
