Thank you. That does sound good. Just took some beef out of the freezer. Incorporate a little cherry wood and a high-quality bun...and money.

I'll try to squeeze some of the excess water into my bourbon, just so it doesn't go to waste, and that's a ****ing sacrifice; I hate tainting perfectly good liquor.

I'm giving you a standing ovation. I had a good cry this morning when I woke up and found the woman was making a roast today. Such senseless indulgence in beef products always gets me right in the feels. |

I do my part for water conservation with my bourbon by always ordering it neat.

I'm not sure what is more ridiculous to me:
1. The crap that I keep learning about how our "food" is produced, or 2. The large majority of people who don't give a shit about it. Any time I start talking about the shit I have read, a few of my friends roll their eyes and tell me I'm making a big deal out of nothing and there's nothing wrong with heavily processed garbage they constantly eat. Meanwhile, they are getting fatter and fatter, they are sick more than me, their allergies are getting out of control, they can no longer compete with me in any sort of physical activity or sport, and they appear to be aging twice as fast as me. If people would just stop buying that shit, they'd stop making it. I promise. |

I'm guessing we are talking corn fed beef, and how much water it takes to raise corn vs how many pounds of corn a cow has to eat before said cow is ready for market. Most all of that water comes in the form of rain, and soaks right into the ground anyway, so it is not like our fresh water supply is being wasted at your rate stated for every single pound of beef produced. |

I live in North Central Kansas. I am totally aware of this situation. Not all corn grown is directly linked to Ogallala. Just the irrigated corn fields.
There is a whole lot of dry land corn raised in the United States that doesn't affect Ogallala. |
