110. We lovingly named our steer calves all the time

Enjoyed their presence in the barn yard, and I think they enjoyed ours. My favorite was JR, a cute little black angus guy. He used to push me into the fence, lick my face with his big ol' tongue and then stand quietly while I scratched him in all his favorite places. And yes, after we had fattened him up with freedom to graze on good green grass, hay, corn, etc. he had one bad moment. We thanked him for his life and the life sustaining food he was giving to our family. I realize this is not for everyone. But we loved and cared for all of our animals. And the meat I buy today? I spend the extra time and money to know the farmer and how he or she raises the animals under their care. Not everyone can do this. I can. And it is my choice. I don't criticize other people's food choices as it is not under my control. Nor do I want it to be.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

I'm intrigued Rorey Mar 2020 #38

To make tofu you need soy milk and to get the milk you need soy beans and to get the beans cstanleytech Mar 2020 #46

Walking through an open field also invariably kills insects, yes? LanternWaste Mar 2020 #49

Such a good point. "[distributing] guilt equitably" Rorey Mar 2020 #68
