Yah, as I said, I grew up in Iowa. I'm very familiar with all sides. I think their needs to be some balance. The world is tilted. Best wishes with your farm.

Because the oceans are so polluted, mercury is a big issue. I like cod, salmon, ahi tuna, etc. Unfortunately, I don't trust a lot of sources and I'll only buy wild caught. If I can't afford it, I just won't eat it. I just Google the sources from where the fish are coming from. If I see...

I don't really have any. Antibiotics is an issue, but I haven't researched it. I'm a bit skeptical of the packages that say "NO ADDED Antibiotics." What does thst even mean? If chickens are fed Antibiotics is that "NOT added"?

Nope!!! They produce 55% of the world's salmon. I think most if not all of it is "farm raised." In the film "Eating Our Way to Extinction, " they were secretly filmed poring chemicals like formaldehyde in the salmon farm water. Below is a link about formaldehyde use. The article refers to...

**** NO!!! Farm raised fish are the worst. They are still raised in ocean water. They are basically in an ocean cage. Because the fish are so close in proximity, they pass bacteria and diseases much easier. It's a huge problem. To combat this, the fish farms suck the fish thru a tube...

Research it for yourself. Find your answers. Yes, fossil fuels make the grains, but it doesn't end there. You have to keep feeding the animals and then they have to be shipped, processed and shipped again. They also have a limited shelf life once processed. I'm not telling you what to do...

Those things are real and perhaps they weren't presented in the best way. I'm a realist and also analytical so it's easier for me to see big picture. As I said in other posts the film "Eating Our Way to Extinction" was eye opening. It wasn't hypothetical. It showed where we were, where we...

Stock up on the grains and beans before the prices get out of hand. The nice thing is that grains and beans can be shelved for years.

That's where we have to start. Ironically, my ex-wife was/is vegetarian. She had my son vegetarian most of his life. I just reunited with him after not seing him for 5 years (ex from ****) and he is now a big meat eater and gained a lot of weight. I think the best approach is moderation. If...

It already is unsustainable. A lot of the problems being blamed on fossil fuels are also caused by the meat industry with our obsession for meat.

Yah, I tried to spoon feed the info. Too much too soon and the people just won't believe it. I didn't even get I to the other problems of quality or talk about fish. We've destroyed the ocean with plastic that plankton are eating. Plankton get consumed by other fish on up the food chain so...

Too much land is being used to feed grains to animals and not people leaving a shortage of food other than meat. A majority of water resources are used for crops and animals. There are water shortages around the world. This will get worse. The meat industry continues expansion of farms. The...

It's not sustainable to have 80% of agriculture as grain feed. Iowa is all soybean and feed corn. Feed corn is not consumed by people. This is not the sweet corn that you buy at the super market. We're talking farms 500-1000 acres. The soy could be human consumption and they may process...

You should still watch the film if you can. It will change your thought about food. I use to eat a lot of fish. I will no longer eat fish especially farm raised fish after seeing how they farm it and the health issues even with wild caught fish. I'm not going to tell people what to eat. To...

Growing up in Iowa I know all about beef and pork. What I didn't know is that nearly 80% of agriculture in the world is spent growing grains for animals. The meat industry controls politicians worldwide. The meat industry gets $38 billion dollars annually in subsidies from the US government...
