“The Biden Administration ordered the mass killing of over 100M chickens”

All to stop you having cheap eggs & continue the attack the Farmers.

Eggs are now running $10 a dozen. Or more.

Can we PLEASE stop killing chickens until someone who is not a public health/Covid hysteric makes a real estimate of how likely it is that bird flu – which has been around forever – will mutate in a way that might cause an epidemic? pic.twitter.com/MgzX7AnQF2

Like the coronavirus hoax, this bird flu thing was made up whole cloth.

it’s just total nonsense.

During the coronavirus hoax, the health authorities, a hive of scum and villainy, gained all these wild new powers, and they’re just exercising them arbitrarily to murder birds based on unfounded claims with no supporting evidence.

Why doesn’t someone tell them to prove these birds have the flu?

The Guardian:

Egg prices in the US have risen steeply over the last several weeks. Experts say they are likely to climb further as an avian flu outbreak decimates flocks across the country.

Though the avian flu has been in the US since 2022, the largest outbreak started in October and is still affecting millions of hens. About 14.7 million egg-producing chickens have been affected by the avian flu since the start of January, surpassing the number of hens affected in all of 2023, according to data from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“Based on the amount of birds that we have lost in the last few months, and the hen population, there just isn’t enough production to support the amount of demand that we have,” said Karyn Rispoli, managing director of eggs at the price-tracking firm Expana. “We’re at a point now where we’re truly in a shortage.”

In December the number of table eggs produced fell 4.5% compared with the same period last year, according to the USDA. With more hens infected with the avian flu in January, the number of eggs will probably continue to drop.

The avian flu is specifically affecting hens that produce table eggs as they are kept alive longer than broiler chickens, which are used for meat, making them more susceptible to infection during their lifetime. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that human infections of the avian flu are rare.

The wholesale price of a dozen large eggs has been climbing as much as 40 cents a week as farmers struggle to produce enough eggs to keep up with demand. As of 24 January, the wholesale price of a dozen large eggs was $7.24 in New York, $6.84 in the midwest and $8.35 in California.

Ending the current avian flu outbreak will be tough. Egg producers have been lobbying the federal government to help fund vaccine research and biosecurity to address the outbreak. The virus can spread from wild birds to domestic hens, and while the disease is known to spread from bird-to-bird contact, scientists are still unsure whether infections are airborne.

If a single chicken in a flock is infected, the whole flock becomes at risk of infection. Orders for new chicks can take up to a year and a half to be fulfilled, meaning it is unclear when the number of egg-producing hens will get back to normal levels.

Why are they killing these birds with foam?

Consequences for your belief in “viruses”.

The U.S. Government with the lie about “bird flu”, made a decision to destroy all birds with chemical foam.

It is Your belief in “viruses” that gives the government power to do this. To lock you down and take away your freedoms. pic.twitter.com/ZrBsg50eDx

Whose idea was that?

Can’t they at least make them into dog food? Or would that create the hybrid dog flu?

The only label that is regulated is “USDA Certified Organic.”

I don’t really trust that label very much, quite frankly. They put it on food from Mexico, and I don’t know how the USDA is ensuring the processing of food in Mexico.

However, the labels “natural” and “local” have literally zero meaning. I’ve known this and talked about this forever.

Back before Amazon bought Whole Foods, it used to specialize in actual labeled “organic” food, while Trader Joe’s had stuff that said “natural.” I would tell people that label meant nothing.

Now, Amazon Whole Foods does the same thing with these “natural” and “local” labels.

The Guardian:

If you walk into a Whole Foods in Oakland and pick up a container of non-dairy yoghurt marked “local”, you might be surprised to learn that though the company is headquartered nearby in San Francisco, the cashews the yoghurt is made of come from Vietnam, more than 7,500 miles (12,000km) away, or Ivory Coast, about 7,300 miles in the opposite direction.

This yoghurt made with ingredients from the other side of the globe points to the contradictory nature of so-called local food today: though the term holds appeal for customers, nearly two-thirds of whom perceive local food to be more environmentally friendly, experts suggest it may not always mean what you think.

“Most of it is bullshit,” says Austin, Texas-based Errol Schweizer, who led grocery merchandising for Whole Foods from 2009 to 2016. “Every retailer has a different definition [of “local”]. Even the retailers themselves will have different definitions, depending on where they are, and the original purpose of localization has totally gotten lost.”

Local food first started to attract attention against the backdrop of globalized supply chains at a time when US shoppers had become accustomed to eating quinoa grown in Bolivia or salmon caught in Norway. Local became a selling point in the early 2000s as the result of an intellectual backlash to the growing hegemony in grocery stores and prevalence of highly processed foods, says Schweizer, who points to the publishing of Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma as one inflection point.

Proponents like Pollan asserted that buying local would mean fresher and healthier food with a lower carbon footprint. What followed was a “flurry of activity to figure out how to re-localize supply chains” that had been decimated by the advent of 20th-century national grocery chains, which had de-localized in the name of efficiency, says Schweizer.

There was never well-defined agreement about what the term actually meant, though. According to Food Tank founder Danielle Nierenberg, “local” is usually understood to refer to food grown within 100 miles (160km) of where it’s sold and eaten, a perception bolstered by books such as The 100 Mile Diet by Alisa Smith and JB MacKinnon. But the US Department of Agriculture’s definition of “local” in the 2008 Farm Bill includes food grown in the same state or within 400 miles (640km) of where it is finally marketed – and even that definition isn’t regulated the way a label such as “organic” is.

That’s led to a lack of clarity and consistency in how the term is deployed in supermarkets across the country, with each grocer defining the label for itself. In the produce aisle at a HarvesTime in Chicago, for example, microgreens classified as local are grown at a farm about 45 miles (70km) away in Carpentersville, Illinois. At a Union Market in Brooklyn, the “local eggs” category includes cartons from a farm 158 miles (250km) away in Pennsylvania, one 17 miles (27km) away in New Jersey and another 270 miles (430km) away in upstate New York.

Meanwhile near Dallas, Central Market posts signs with the outline of Texas promoting “local flavor” that sometimes point to items that are grown in-state, like wine from the Frio Canyon Vineyard, 340 miles (550km) away. Other times, the same sign seems to have more to do with where a food company is headquartered, as is the case with Austin-based Lamme’s Candies, 200 miles (320km) away. Lamme’s features Texas heavily in its branding but gets its chocolate from the California company Guittard, which in turn sources cocoa from Ecuador (around 2,500 miles, or 4,000km, away) and West Africa (almost 6,000 miles, or 10,000km, away) – a fact you wouldn’t find out without poking around online.

Whole Foods, HarvesTime, Union Market and Central Market did not respond to requests for comment.

If the markets wouldn’t respond, they should have called Greta.

I think her opinion on this issue is really important, no?

Bacon never loses in a fair fight.

Euronews:

Voters in Switzerland have rejected a referendum motion that would have put an end to factory farming in the country.

Almost two-thirds of those who cast a ballot opposed the initiative, which would have outlawed intensive farming methods.

Farmers’ unions had opposed the move, arguing that animal rights are already protected by existing restrictions, which limit the quantities of livestock any single farm can keep. Citizens had also expressed concerns over the impact on food prices.

In a separate referendum, the Swiss did agree to raise the retirement age for women from 64 to 65.

How is it even possible that the only alternatives we’re presented to toxic factory farming is eating soy slop, which is even worse?

Imagine if we spent 10% if what we spend on finding new and innovative ways to mutilate children’s genitals into developing a healthy, high-productivity form of agriculture that can be reproduced on a large scale.

60 years ago, people thought we’d be colonizing Mars and traveling in flying cars by now, and we can’t even figure out how to grow food that doesn’t make the people who eat it sick for a reasonable price.

We are literally living in hell!

This weather-changer agenda is really getting extreme.

According to The Guardian: “Kari Hamerschlag is the deputy director of Friends of the Earth US’s food and agriculture program and Christopher D Cook is an award-winning journalist and author of Diet for a Dead Planet: Big Business and the Coming Food Crisis.”

They write for The Guardian:

As the climate crisis boils over, new research shows that reducing methane emissions is our best hope to rapidly stem the crisis. It’s time to turn up the heat on the industrial meat industry and dramatically curtail its climate harm, which includes 32% of global methane emissions. Yet instead development banks are using public funds to expand this sector that generates 16.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).

On 19 and 20 October, hundreds of public development banks (PDBs) will gather for the second Finance in Common Summit to make pledges to advance Paris climate and UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). The summit – which will also focus on agriculture and agribusiness transformation – presents a vital opportunity for these banks to put their money where their mouth is and align their agriculture investments to meet these goals.

Development banks on every continent are directly undermining the UN SDGs and Paris goals by channeling billions of public dollars into multinational meat corporations. While undermining the livelihoods of small-scale producers, this heavily polluting industrial meat system is fueling the climate crisis, destroying precious ecosystems, promoting animal cruelty and increasing the risk of antibiotic resistance and future pandemics.

With vast documented evidence of factory farming’s destructive effects, a new global campaign, Divest Factory Farming, is calling on PDBs to immediately stop financing industrial livestock operations and shift their investments towards a more equitable and sustainable food system. A 2020 investigation by the Guardian and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism revealed that over the past decade, just two banks – the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) – “have provided $2.6bn for pig, poultry and beef farming, as well as dairy and meat processing”. Additional research shows that the top five development banks have spent more than $4.6bn in this sector over the past 10 years.

Unless we dramatically scale back meat and dairy and move swiftly to sustainable methods, experts project that livestock production alone could account for a whopping 80% of the world’s budget for greenhouse gas emissions (in a 1.5C temperature increase scenario) by 2050. If cattle were a nation, they would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. With less than 10 years to prevent irreversible climate catastrophe, every investment and policy must help greatly reduce emissions while bolstering food security and resiliency to weather upheavals.

By ending investments in factory farms, public development bank leaders will send a clear signal to other public finance institutions, the private sector, markets and governments that it’s time for meaningful emissions reductions from livestock, and time to shift subsidies and investments toward highly productive, lower-carbon ecological farming. There is no time to waste.

There are a whole lot of ways to not do factory farming and still create enough meat for the population (assuming you’re not constantly expanding your population with low IQ third worlders).

You can find plenty of these permaculture gardens on YouTube. There is enough acreage in America and Britain to feed our populations with healthy foods, without resorting to soy and insects.

It’s almost like a big part of the weather-changer agenda is making people physically weak.

According to the Hill, we now have new researching showing the untapped intellectual ability of pigs. They can use joysticks.

So it is now even worse to not give them fair housing opportunities.

The Guardian:

French veterinary officials have been accused of publishing “falsely reassuring” inspection findings after undercover footage at a farm appeared to show pigs in conditions that continued to breach regulations following allegations of abuse in December.

The farm is a supplier for the Herta brand of frankfurter, part-owned by Nestlé, which is sold by most major UK supermarkets.

In December 2020, the French NGO L214 released undercover footage that appeared to show pig cannibalism and other serious issues at a farm that supplies the Herta pork brand. The brand is 60% owned by Spanish food company Casa Tarradellas and 40% by Nestlé.

These allegations prompted Waitrose to suspend sales of Herta products and Nestlé to pause supply from the farm to Herta, pending investigations. Separately, the Allier regional government launched its own inquiry.

On 16 December, Allier effectively cleared the pig breeder of any mistreatment charges. Its statement said: “In general, the inspection concludes that the farm is in good condition and that there are no major non-conformities.”

New undercover footage, however, said to have been filmed in January 2021 and released on today, appears to show pigs in conditions that continue to breach French regulations, L214 said. Infringements cited by the NGO include: the absence of any hay, straw or other bedding, no apparent fresh water, pigs with docked tails and unsuitable flooring.

I’ve been an advocate for fair treatment of livestock for a very long time. My argument is that even if you don’t care about the lives of the livestock, it is simply a fact of reality that the meat produced through ethical farming is better meat than that which is produced through factory farming.

Unfortunately, factory farming has continued unabated for decades, while Peta was talking about fur coats (I don’t know and haven’t really ever cared about the treatment of mink, because I don’t eat mink. I guess I think mink shouldn’t be abused, but you know, things are tough all over and so on).

Factory farming got a pass for all this time. But now, they want us to stop eating meat. They want us to eat bugs. So, all of the sudden, factory farming is in the spotlight.

It’s all very transparent. Everything that is printed in the mainstream media is a part of some kind of an agenda.

You can expect to hear more about the factory farms that the health community has been talking about for decades on end in the months to come, as they continue to attempt to convince you to eat bugs.
