I had no idea it was this weekend. Done with the NFL.

Egg shortages lead to bizarre pricing across NYC — organic, cage-free cartons cost less than a dozen regular eggs
Let our chickens go!

 

A while back I read Steinbeck's "The grapes of wrath" ... there was a chapter in which he mentioned that at one time during the great depression, canned peaches were cheaper to buy than fresh peaches. An economic inversion of sorts ... really bizarre

 

I would gess, based on cmartinez's post that powdered eggs might be cheaper than fresh eggs. Anybody know?

Death before eating powdered eggs again.

 

Try making sunny side up.

I am fortunate enough to be allergic to eggs.

The only exception: Ice cream with powdered eggs and powdered milk. The cooks made it so it almost edible with canned fruit.

Hundreds of Eggs Stolen...

I'll try the pun one more time:

Poached eggs.

I'm making a mental note to watch that movie again. It's been forever.

The book is infinitely better.

The clip posted does not do justice to egg comment. It goes on about how Milo bought the eggs for 7⊄ a piece and was selling at 5⊄ and yet making a profit. Presumably, that comes out in another scene.

 

 

It really boils down to thinking humans are morally above animals. In my opinion, this is itself an immoral and archaic position ...

Folks are free to disagree and make up their own minds but don't gaslight others into denying the reality of the situation...

I'm shocked at the constant resistance and denial I get from the average person when I talk about things like this...

You might want to take this up with your local pastor, and maybe then you'll get an idea of what your up against.

I have animal husbandry experience, and am an avid hunter and outdoor sportsman. I've witnessed the anguish in both domestic and natural worlds. Believe me when I say that the natural world is a violent place.

I like to roast a chicken every couple of weeks. The bird is always good tasting, but it's whats left in the bottom of the roaster that gets me really excited.

Nature is indeed a savage place but it's a weak argument in the context of human activities involving animals. Obviously no one controls Nature but we do control ourselves and that's the heart of the issue. People can deflect all they want but at the end of the day, you either support the doctrine of animal ownership or you don't. Folks seem to think just because they don't kill the animal themselves or aren't directly involved in cruelty absolves them of participation but it doesn't. The system exists to counter demand and I strongly believe the average person is desensitized (to the point of denial) to what actually goes on behind closed doors.

Also, I'm an atheist. I'm approaching this from a practical point of view which starts with changes I can make locally. I'm not an ideolog or an activist. I follow a plant and fish diet myself and that's because it's a compromise that I have reasoned to be just with all things considered. Sometimes I wonder how a potato plant feels when it gets ripped out the ground. If I become aware that a potato feels pain but as a radish doesn't, I'll probably stop eating potatoes. The jury is still out regarding plants but science has proven a cow or chicken is very much like us.

Maybe you can clue me into why very few people take this all seriously. I suspect it's because people don't want to take a deep look at that dark place inside of them. They seem to prefer to hide behind the fact that we are predators by nature which means there is no onus to change. Of course, some take what I'm saying as an insult but they are missing the point. But I will say, if the shoe fits, wear it. As a hunter, I think you know I'm not saying anything factually wrong or morally distasteful and if I am, please point it out to me.
