  • I like chickens more than people. They are wonderful little beings. They make me so incredibly happy as they run around and peck at each other.

    Nature sequesters carbon. If you are farming within the natural limits of your land you shouldn’t be generating much carbon at all.

    All these people have a hard time imagining an old timey farming. Pre Industrial Revolution. There are plenty of natural farms around to this day. Tons of farmers, honoring traditional farming practices.




  • I mean what’s the owner class? I own my house and my car. I own my own farm and water. I farm my own food/tobacco/pot. I own assets and participate in capital markets. I have never earned a wage from a capitalist so idk. We can have solidarity and want the same thing, but like I said not all of us are ‘wage slaves’. I used to have employees and none of them were wage slaves. All my employees paid off their college loans and bought houses, and still had disposable income to party.













  • Let’s compare 3 farms and please explain to me which one has the least amount of CO2 per pound of beef. You are incorrect and I shall demonstrate it, and I’d love to hear your theory on why you are correct given this context.

    Farm A: Natural farm, no fertilizer inputs, no feed inputs, rotating pastures, butchered on site, sold to a local market. Pastures have been historic farms and landscape consists of healthy native plants. Farm A uses a solar power and gets water from a local spring or aquifer.

    Farm B. A start up funded by the Brazilian government, gifted 100 acres of rainforest, burned it down and added grass seed and fertilizer. Purchased corn from a different South American country to finish the product. Had the beef shipped across the country for slaughter, had the beef shipped across the world for sale. The land is still surrounded by some rich forests, but the grazed part is severely depleted and bordering dead.

    Farm C. A feed lot in California. Cows are shipped in, water is shipped in, cows stand in dirt and erode the soil for most of their life. The land is barren and cannot take in any CO2. Cows are at a density of 100 head per acre. Standing shoulder by shoulder shitting. shit is transported out to local farms, cows are sold regionally and slaughtered locally.

    Which one of these models generates the least amount of CO2 emissions per pound of beef
