What, like they can't grow anything without chemical fertilizers? That sounds like a load of manure. Oh, wait, that load of manure is great fertilizer. Till some into the soil and they'll have sugar.
A couple days ago, there was a thread about a farmer who's family was supposedly starving. Their picture looked healthy enough and the wife could stand to lose some pounds. He was growing corn, beans and potatoes but claimed it wasn't enough. Funny how he had a satellite dish on his roof and what looked like big bad speakers in the living room. He said there was nothing in the fridge but it was plugged in. Outside the home there were flowers growing and lots of bare land that could have been planted with food if they were truly going hungry. He also said there were bugs in the corn, well, his half dozen kids could have been out there picking the bugs off, weeding and watering just like I do. Sorry, while there are troubles there, I'm not believing half of it. If your kids are starving, then you do not have flowers and bare land.
“A couple days ago, there was a thread about a farmer who’s family was supposedly starving.”
I agree with your post, and it reminds me of the bleeding heart articles that we’ve seen in the past in the NYT and WP about how these same South American farmers are starving so badly that they must resort to using that farm land for growing drugs, LOL! The sad thing is, I bet those reporters and other city idiots don’t even see the irony in their argument.
