Actually Bill Gates has been buying farm land in the US and in India. I believe his is the largest holder of farmland in the world now but will have to double check. He would prefer people eat a type of pseudo meat made from insects.
Couldn't agree more! Though I probably would have a burger with Bill, if I got the chance.
It may be the Mormon Church, I know 10 years ago they had over 1,000,000 acres and have acquired a lot since.
Except if you track it down, most "organic" isn't. It just costs more.
Where is the link to this exact source, please. This post is being treated as a fact.
You might be right. I remember a few years back about a dust up with processing plants down south and the injuries, unsanitary, and shady business going on. I couldn't find the info. BUT
here is some small truth in that...SMALL, to be sure. No animal is scalded alive. The mess from the kicking and thrashing about would be awful. Think about that. No is anyone going to wrestle them to slit live throats. And yes, animals are often dirty, they ARE animals. And again, all this "jam packed and suffering" would pretty much ruin the meat from all the stress hormones. I am farm raised, worked in several slaughter houses and was the manager of Ozland Horse Rescue for 15 years. I do know a little something about this stuff. Now....think about the agenda these people have........You might be right.

On this website Paul McCartney goes through the facts surrounding many processing factories. The video is restricted on youyube for 18+ folk who are logged in. I don't have an account.
here is the web site and an overview....
"In the U.S. today, 99% of animals used for food live on massive industrial “factory farms,” where they’re crammed by the thousands into wire cages, metal crates, or other extremely restrictive enclosures inside filthy, windowless sheds. These animals will never raise their families, root around in the soil, build nests, or do anything that is natural and important to them. Most won’t even feel the warmth of the sun on their backs or breathe fresh air until the day they’re loaded onto trucks headed for slaughterhouses.
The factory farming industry strives to maximize output while minimizing costs—always at the animals’ expense. The giant corporations that run most factory farms have found that they can make more money by squeezing as many animals as possible into tiny spaces, even though many of the animals die from disease or infection.
Animals on factory farms endure constant fear and torment:
- They’re often given so little space that they can’t even turn around or lie down comfortably. Egg-laying hens are kept in small cages, chickens and pigs are kept in jam-packed sheds, and cows are kept on crowded, filthy feedlots.
- Antibiotics are used to make animals grow faster and to keep them alive in the unsanitary conditions. Research shows that factory farms’ widespread use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria that threaten human health.
- Most factory-farmed animals have been genetically manipulated to grow larger or to produce more milk or eggs than they naturally would. Some chickens grow so unnaturally large that their legs cannot support their outsized bodies, and they suffer from starvation or dehydration when they can’t walk to reach food and water.
When they’ve grown large enough to slaughter or their bodies have been worn out from producing milk or eggs, animals raised for food are crowded onto trucks and transported for miles through all weather extremes, typically without food or water. At the slaughterhouse, those who survived the transport will have their throats slit, often while they’re still conscious. Many remain conscious when they’re plunged into the scalding-hot water of the defeathering or hair-removal tanks or while their bodies are being skinned or hacked apart."

What do you mean "track it down"? When you find a worm in an organic bell pepper, you KNOW it's organic. Otherwise the pesticdes would have killed it off.
Not necessarily, but we are aware that our governments don't want us to eat meat. They're going to shove us into a climate crisis similar to the covid crisis and deciding for us what we will or will not eat is just a byproduct of that. It is happening whether people want to see it it or not.
Not true Chic, this was just a little village primary school, somewhere in the North of England whose head made this decision without consultation with the parents. It made the national Media...
I was hoping someone from the UK would weigh in with more info. Thanks, Holly.
I'm glad to hear it. It was on a clip from GBN a few weeks ago so I thought it was valid.
Again, you should always check the source, since its rarely what it seems.......
What is this? Beat up on Chic day?
GBN IS a reliable British news channel. They are what I would call mainstream media with conservative leanings. I remembered this from about a month ago because it seemed extreme and shocking but I do not live in the U.K. so it was just a passing segment that interested me and I watched it.
I've never heard of that channel... Chic, but if we had an American news channel here which was usually reliable, I would have done the same as you and posted it in good faith.. but in this instance it was not quite false, but they were misleading the American publicWhat is this? Beat up on Chic day?
I'm sorry you feel put-upon, but about ANY news source has their own agenda, or one they are paid to have, and its just good common sense to check as Holly dolly just proved.What is this? Beat up on Chic day?
Absolutely. The MSM is bought and sold. It does fit with the extremes of the green movement's narrative currently.
