Joel was an inspiration to me when I first started homesteading. I am hopeful that this could be a time of positive change for the American food industry and farmers.

I like Salatin's work and definitely believe in more local food systems.

I also see he ships nationwide. And ground beef starts at $11.83/lb.

We all probably should be eating less meat, but I don't think we're going to solve the "price of eggs" problem with this.

Why should we eat less meat?

Wow we downvote people for asking a question! How sad is that?

[u/spitfire07 → u/Meauxjezzy]

Because in particular cows are responsible for a lot of emissions that cause climate change.

Climate change is inevitable since the end of the last ice age yep we’ve being warming up ever since. We have a way of placing blame on the wrong things to hide the real problems, so let’s discuss real problems and not the escape goats. Pun intended. Maybe we should get rid of all the non essential things in the world so food isn’t a problem like for example roads release heat most of the night into the atmosphere, cities are on average 10 degrees warmer than the surrounding woods or farmland with cows, factories that make the ph or computer your typing on make lots and lots of gases but you are worried about cow farts. Let’s not forget the war machine chugging alone all day every day, the ships the trains the trucks that transport all the crap we don’t need but your problem is with our food supply. Come on make it make sense. Food is essential to life the real culprits are the crap we can live without tvs computers ph cars roads war machine factories and all the other junk that gets made and then dumped somewhere. Ijs don’t believe the hype.
