A new ACORN slogan: Less food for more money
Changing our perilous food system means making choices — not to shop for a greener planet, but to collectively dismantle factory farming, giant food corporations and the political system that allows them to exist.
Strange the pork produced in America is virtually devoid of the parasites that plagued ma and pa’s farm raised pigs and we don’t have any viruses jumping species here like in China.
Its a Michael Pollen/Alice Waters/Ezra Klein hippy who thinks all things produced in a much less efficient manner at a greater cost must be better. Or something.
Of course, when your talking locavore – climate change doesn’t matter because we’re sticking it to the man, earth be damned. Well just toss aside science and the facts and ramp up climate emissions and destroy water quality and advocate that we force mass starvation on “the little people” without a Washington Post byline or Berkley residence. They don’t need to eat, do they??? Why, just cause their hungry – those little people don’t know whats good for them. Lets bankrupt them, send their job to China and then force asinine yuppie food on them.
The funny thing is that Amerika is largely urbanized areas populated by many more of these people. America is the stuff in the middle where they (evil megacorps?) grow the food.
The good news is that I don’t think there’s enough people who buy into that crap to get your panties in a wad over. I just ate, quite happily, half a pound of bacon the other night because dammit… It wasn’t going to waste!
I ate chicken tonight. Tomorrow will see me consuming another animal’s meat. I am at the top of the food chain. I will GLADLY subjugate lower life forms to be my source of food. Plants are living things too, and to pretend there’s some sort of moral high ground of killing X but not Y for food is idiocy.
I’ve known some vegetarians who were that way because of health concerns. None of them demanded I partake of their lifestyle just like I wouldn’t dare shove a juicy, medium rare Fillet Mignon down their gullet (I’d save that for myself).
Besides, “vegetarian” is an ancient word meaning “poor hunter”.
The best thing about locavores is that they don’t realize that sometimes a tomato grown outdoors in Texas and shipped to say Minnesota has a smaller carbon footprint than a tomato gorwn in a heated green house in Minnesota.
Vegetarianism. Where devouring the torn asunder unborn offspring of helpless living beings raw is acceptable and somehow shows compassion and enlightenment.

Give me a break…

If they try to take my bacon, i, and others like me, will rise up and destroy the veg-heads.
Mark my words!

Now imagine having to deal with these nutjobs day in and day out.
Their lunacy makes Paul Helmke look like Mother Theresa.

What the fuck is a locavore?

@Caleb: pretty sure it’s a hippy who’s trying to reduce his carbon footprint by buying foodstuffs that are produced locally.

Canthros is correct.
Its basically “anti Corporate” hippy gobbldegook.

I take this shit a little personally.

I’ve been saying for years that I can always become a humanitarian. “To Serve Man” has been on my bookshelf for a while…..
