I thought I was the only one who didn’t like to kill insects, but it seems I have a lot of company. I do make exceptions – roaches, mosquitoes and wasps especially. I’ve been stung by the red wasp Polistes carolina twice and its sting hurts for over an hour.

Everything your link revealed about chicken was paralleled by Monfort of Colorado — virtually year by year.

Monfort really got rolling in the post war years.

And, in case it’s escaped your notice — something staggering happened in 1948: ammonia fertilizer on a mass basis.

During the war the War Department spent huge on Haber process ammonia production — the essential step in nitric acid production and its resultant use in all high explosives.

This was the period when the natural gas — previously flared — began to be seriously captured and sent to Haber plants.

There methane is shifted over to carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas — providing the cheapest source of hydrogen ever known.

(Lacking our natural gas deposits, Nazi Germany never had a production chance to keep up.)

Like the chicken industry, the ammonia industry was frantic after the war to find a market for the staggering amount of ammonia they had.

Ammonia based fertilizer was their magic market. Farming could take ALL of the war plant’s ammonia — and plenty more.

The addition of ammonia caused crop yields to DOUBLE over night.

This super surge in grain production is what lay behind both the chicken revolution AND the steer feed lot revolution.

For the real price of feed corn had just dropped about 30% in a few short years. The early adopters of ammonia fertilizer ran riot through the farm belt.

Ammonia — in India — was THE huge factor in the Green Revolution. It gets no press.

Women in Print
Essays on the Print Culture of
American Women from the Nineteenth
and Twentieth Centuries

Many of the didactic novels and polemic tracts Waisbrooker
wrote after 1868 portray young women victimized by the sexual double
standard, and employ frank language to describe woman’s sexual en
–
slavement in marriage. Informed by her unsatisfying marital experi
–
ences, and those of women she had met while lecturing, she proclaimed:

“If there is one act in heaven more criminal than another it is the crushing of a young and innocent girl into a loveless marriage.” It was, she elaborated, “prostitution of the worst kind. . . .” Her readers concurred. While they found Waisbrooker’s Alice Vale: A Story for the Times (printed by the Banner of Light publishing office in 1869) “interesting,” their enthusiasm for Helen Harlow’s Vow (1870) ensured that the latter would remain in print for most of the century. Recounting the story of a young woman’s seduction and desertion, and her subsequent efforts to raise a son while coping with societal prejudices, Helen Harlow’s Vow tackled the issue of the sexual double standard. Waisbrooker’s message–that woman must free herself because no one else would–struck a responsive note with mothers who, like Mrs. Lavinia Woodard of Fruitland, Illinois, encouraged other readers to “place it in the hands of your daughters.”

They would, she explained, learn from the title character’s example “that if woman respects herself, she will always command the respect of others.” “There are few families in the land,” observed a reader in Laona, New York, “that cannot apply some part of Helen Harlow’s experience.”

Until 1886, Waisbrooker found the thought of anarchy “hateful” or discomforting, but Chicago’s Haymarket Riot (4 May 1886) and the subsequent execution of four anarchists caused her to reconsider and then embrace this cause. With other reform-minded Spiritualists, she looked to the anarchist press as an outlet for exploring the social and economic problems that plagued rural and urban working-class women and men during the economically tumultuous late-nineteenth century.

Her readership did likewise. Many subscribers to
Foundation Principles also read Lucifer, the Light-Bearer , an anarchistic free-thought weekly published in the rural community of Valley Falls, Kansas. Begun by Moses Harman in 1883, it advocated woman’s emancipation from sex slavery and encouraged readers to engage in vigorous print-based discussions of sexual and economic topics.

his program is what feminists follow.. not the program the original feminists created… they respected life, moses wanted babies dead so you can have sex, sex, and more sex.

https://www.kshs.org/p/kansas-historical-quarterly-the-moses-harman-story/13209

too bad neo picked fruitlands, and ignored the shakers, and and and.. oneida, brook farms, new harmony… the effort for free love and artisinal value for men…

the sex communes of Moses harmon, who inspired the modern feminisms outcome more than wollencraft, etc.. his daughter lillian harmon too.

would modern feminists be following feminism if they knew that the real inspiration was a bunch of hard up men who wanted to screw them all day and not have to pay for the babies being made?

see Moses Harmon, Ezra Heywood, and the other sex radicals…

is it any wonder that women now are a self supporting harem that the wealthy have lots fo fun with, and do not have to pay for the babies they create? i mean, when poor men were in school, women could be safe and a cad was a bad man who got kicked out. now that the poor man is out, the women have nothing but having to debase themselves doing all manner of deviant acts just to get attention!!!! not to mention how the system now teaches the girls about Bjs, anal sex, group sex, sex with animals, lesbian sex, s&m sex, and now pushing sex with children, and all that as liberating. (so its not the feminism women think it is, its the sex commune for the wealthy who wanted the sex, but did not want the marraige, kids, and to have to pay for the women who they were using and discarding!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

yeah… all these communes managed to do was turn the average woman into a lonely, angry, workhorse whose only value is pretty much sex, and thats now too dangerous for any average bloke.

i guess that since the women will beat you up and destroy your life if you save them from their misery
the articles they are writing and whats going on with them is quite telling…

when it comes to marraige
who wants to drink from a dirty glass with a person permanently discontent and will punish you for her selection…

fie on that…
enjoy your moses harmon sex commune as nation
which is what your seeing… ie. the society turned into that kind of thing… good thing the ladies are paying for their own servitude, kind of leaves the conspiracy of the left to hang in the wind on blame. eh?

if that were true, you would not say it was corruption to eat… would you?

how could the natural means of existence for several billion years be corrupt

cor·rupt
having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain.

cause to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain.

change or debase by making errors or unintentional alterations

your idea of corrupt is only in the new speak self loathing nihilistic leftist communist dictionary..

about the closest conceptual to your idea for corrupt is:
to change (something) so that it is less pure or valuable

and eating and existing does not make one less pure unless your a self loathing human hating nihilistic communist who thinks everyone BUT animals should live for the existence of others (but not the leaders who live as an embodiment of socalism and dont have to live for others as everyone else lives for them)

i guess once your poisoned by the left and its ideas that perfectly normal acts of reality are now abnormal and corrupting, and wont be anything else but that unless your dead…

its always, less pure… eh?

what stupidity…
and you wonder why people cant feed themselves if they exist outside the state controlled cages?

Nothing else matters… if you dont elect the incompetent woman in favor of the competant man, your sexist (never mind the sexism in the reverse). not only are you sexist, but you confirm the conspiracy against women of any competence in favor of men of some competence.

want Rangers who will die to complete their mission?
get competent men
want rangers who cant do the job?
get incompetent women

if you dont select the later, your just mean and sexist, and didnt get laid.. so there… thhffffpppppptttt!!!!

Professor, MSNBC Contributor:Reparations is the Answer to “Patriarchal White Supremacy” that Runs US
http://thepunditpress.com/2015/04/27/professor-msnbc-contributor-patriarchal-white-supremacy-runs-us-reparations-is-the-answer/

I am starting to think that the US fighitng the civil war was a big mistake… even more so if the people made the winners into the equivalent of the losers, why did they bother dying to win and oppose it if they are blamed for it, and people who were never here have to pay for others actions?

Grass fed beef? Ugh!

But the subject of modern tasteless food is a great one, although some might not be able to stomach it depending on the time of day, or the day, or anytime.
