Re: A cure for diabetes from 1806?


Producers do not use meds unless they absolutely have to and they use
them only as long as needed and for certain meds they can't be sold
until a certain amount of time has passed since the meds were applied.

Why would they waste money on unnecessary drugs when there is no
direct benefit?

And most producers grow as much of their feed as they can. Some of
those crops require fewer inputs and some are grown to both feed the
animals and to provide proper crop rotation and help preserve or
rejuvenate the soil. And when they buy feed they have to get what is
most economical in their area. If they've grown barley or the neighbor
has barley, why would they pay for shipping corn from farther away, if
it makes no financial sense?

These are family farms, and believe or not, they have concerns about
the environment and about the quality of the food they produce. These
people are proud people.

The problems you always fuss about most often occurs in the food
manufacturing area, especially the multi-national corps that fixates
on the bottom line and don't really care about quality as much as
marketting, shelf-life and bottom-line costs.


Just so much "just so" fairy tales. There are perhaps a few who do this
but you are making it up as you go along as an ideal. You used the word
"most" and asked for evidence, this kind of story telling is not
evidence.

All farmers use economic models to make decisions depending on various
goals. Those few farmers who do as you describe do it for goals of
being "organic" and having "range fed" meat etc. and not because it is
less expensive to do so.

But as you reveal more and more of your meat industry ties we can
understand your posts in general.
