Are you trying to tell me that you actually BELIEVE that running corn through a feeder at a 7 to 1 conversion ratio makes the food system more efficient and yields us more food?!? Fact is that we could be far more efficient if we ate considerably less or no meat. You may not like to hear it, but it's true. That ground that grows feed grade corn and beans can also grow food grade corn and beans (or potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, cukes, whatever). We CHOOSE to eat the way we do - considerably more meat per capita than previous generations. Frankly, considerably more food in general per capita AND considerably less work than previous generations.
The connective tissue that is processed into lean finely textured beef (pink slime) was used in DOG food until they figured out a way to process it into human food. Meat glue is used to make $3 worth of stew meat into a $20 piece of "steak". Does that benefit you?
I'm not giving up beef, pork, poultry. I have 8300 laying hens on the farm and butcher some of the spent hens on site for my own use. I raise up my own hog to be butchered in the fall. I get a half of beef from my dad's farm whenever I need it (soon, I'll be buying my own to raise up). A large segment of the population cannot do this. They have to depend on the large processors that supply supermarkets. The more the large processors try to get away with, the more people are gonna find out about these tricks. The less people trust them, the stronger Animal Rightists will gain a foot hold in people's thinking.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
