I have to disagree about it being scientific. Science would say to decrease the size of feed lots to avoid the use of meds.

Our agribusiness giants raise animals in unsanitary conditions and feed antibiotics so the animals don't die.

It's all about money and politics.

Yup.

It's why I'll occasionally raise some critters.

The quality of store bought meat really sucks.

No pay for condo board of directors time or work.  I am putting in about 15 hours a month on it. It is like running a multi million $ business. We have 176 residential units and 3 commercial units. Paid full time staff totals 5 and then 4 part timers.

We pay Bob to manage the building and staff, but I meet with him weekly to check in and provide help with prioritizing tasks and whatever else comes up.

If it continues freezing.

Otherwise it's a great hazmat container.

we're probably going to start buying from the local farms too soon.
One has bison nearby.
Saw another one that has a zebra hanging out with their horses, don't know what the hell that's about though.

I'm having difficulty doing this. mainly because local farms are a ways off and i don't usually have the time to get out there when they would be willing to do business.

there is a diner a few blocks away6 that is about 90% organic, i like the meat and veggies there.

Email from our manager this morning: Working from home today and won't be at the staff meeting. I expect you all to attend and then fill me in when I return tomorrow.

Me: I have a house guest from England arriving today and have had on the PTO calendar that I would only be working a half day so that I could be at the house when she arrives.

Kurt: Well, you can call into the meeting.

Me: That's a good idea. You should do that too.

i'd do that, except i'd name them all, turn them into pets & be forced into veganism  ..i caught a huge catfish when i was about 8, fully intended on him being dinner, but instead, i named him barney & threw him back..true story

so instead, i buy organic & local. more expensive, but worth it in the long term
