A total of 4 companies control a whopping 80% of the entire beef-processing industry. That's a modern-day monopoly.

The winners here? The monopolists - like Tyson Foods. The losers? Farmers & grocery shoppers.

How is it different from pharmaceuticals, the big box stores? All the mom and pop stores are gone, the local corner grocery store replaced by gas stations and bars, the local hardware by Lowe's and Home Depot, the local restaurants by all the chains.
Corporate farming is an immoral business. Dutch farmers in IN, violated sewage laws again and again with overflowing sewage ponds of hog waste. Odors were horrendous.
Corporate chickens are under roofs, crowded beyond belief. When chickens die, they fall over and the other chickens eat them, beaks, eyes, claws and all.
Cows under roofs never see sky. They are shoved so tightly into each pen that their heads can be stuck through the fencing enclosure and they can't move to get their head out. On the opposite and moral side of things, small farmers grazing on wildlands, managed by a team on horseback, are good for the soil, pollute nothing, cows have stronger skin/leather because things happen as they should. These farmers sell their food via mail but supplies are limited.
The entire model of corporate farming is disgusting, filthy and immoral. I have watched vids and they are sickening.
My small farmer despises the stupidity of the other small farmers around him who spray this and that, while he sprays nothing, adds nothing that God didn't give him. Grows his own feed, buys flax if I remember right.
His raw whole milk is tested reqularly and is the lowest bacteria count Ohio has ever seen. He is Grandfathered in because OH doesn't normally allow raw milk.
His milk is high Omega 3, in a ratio of 1:2, Omega3 to Omega6. Omegas are fatty acids that cannot be produced by the body. They are unsaturated fats and they are essential fatty acids. Oemga3 heals. Omega6 is inflammatory.
The American diet is a ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 of 1:40, 1:50. 1:60, 1-70. He told me that when I met him. The ratio in America of O3:O6 is completely upside down, which means it is inflammatory.
High Omega 6 is completely inflammatory. Omega 3 is completely healing. He couldn't get his baby hogs higher than 1:3 so he fed them raw milk. That was the word from the Lord to him. Now the hogs are just as high in O3 as the cows. Chickens cannot achieve that ratio. He is partner with a brilliant and known doc, who shall remain unnamed, in the healthy docs circle. They were told when interest was shown by Chicago (natural) docs, to seek investors and go larger. Once they all met, the docs told Tim and the Doc, to not do it, without getting bodyguards. I kid you not.
I have been drinking his raw milk for over a decade. I have been sick once, back in 2018. That is where and what we should be doing and the result would be to starve the beast of the drug/pharma culture right at the root. My dogs eat his food raw, the eggs, milk, beef, heart, oxtail, bones. I add veggies/blueberries and other. Chicken must be cooked. Their waste is less than 1/3 of when they ate crap kibble. Healthy.

This is why I rais my own chickens, ducks and pigs, but if I were to try to sell it for what it cost me to raise them......people will by the crap meat at the big stores where they sell the tourchered meats. People are eating those unhappy, miserable animals and never think that they are affected. Look at all the miserable people ....."you are what you eat" has never been more true!
If we knew all of it, the gravy train of raising foodstock, innoculating them, feeding them with poisoned food (sprayed) and then some brilliant person calculated the sum total effects upon our bodies, we would probably find we are blessed to even be alive with all the accumulated poisons. No way to calulate it, though, since it's through air, water soil, seed, etc., etc., All or most of our dieseases are preventable with healthy immune systems, which they are trying to rid us of. We need a miracle in this area along with everything else.
We don't have the space, or time to raise our own, but we like to buy meats from a local butcher. As a youngster, growing up, my dad always raised chickens, pigs, beef cattle and we always had a big garden. Further down the road, Farmer Quimby raised dairy cattle and was happy to sell us milk from his herd. Nothing from any store compares to that.
Who does your slaughtering, Ilona? Just curious.
IDUnderstand why people CHOOSE to be both ignorant and blind. Never will. Believe the lies, believe the ads, believe fauci, govco, Burke, Whatever happend to thinking? Reasoning? Morality?They are all related or supposed to be.
Too many youngsters, through the past couple of generations, (or more) were never "taught" how to think for themselves!
