Vegans don’t understand the chemicals that go into a lot of vegetables
I'll tell you on simple thing that speaks volumes!!! You'll never meet a VEGAN ROW CROP FARMER!! THEY KNOW WHAT CHEMICALS GO INTO THOSE CROPS!!! SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!!!
I raise all of my fruit and veggies 100% organic. Bugs and fungus are a HUGE problem. If selling, I would be tossing most all in compost pit. Non-marketable.Tasty and extremely healthy but people want eye appealing crops.
What they and many others do not understand are the chemicals and anti nutrients that naturally occur in vegetables. Carbohydrates are contra indicated in a human diet.
Yes we do. Far more understanding and research than youre extremely low perception of vegans. Vegans = dumb as a rock.. LOL Try Kerlian photography. Dead carcus vs healthy plants. You have been brainwashed. Meat contains the most horrific toxic poisons that are used. Open your eyes. Try to be objective and compassionate.
amen....100% and that's why I have chickens...yesterday my hens got tomatoes, cucumbers and squash! We have such a waste stream in this country!!
Please Comment! Folks...Please, take this information into consideration! This isn't meant to put anyone down, it's meant to make folks think about the real environmental impact of our food choices, the reality of seasons, plants, animals and the horrible consumptive waste stream produced by an energy and chemical intensive diet v/s taking the time to consider all factors!! Less fuel...less plastic and less chemicals!! We're dumbing down our population with selfish popular fads and false idealism! Please comment!
YOU NEED TO BE TEACHING A CLASSROOM OF TODAY’S KIDS!!! VERY EDUCATIONAL! THANK YOU!!
Wow, thank you
@@StoneyRidgeFarmerI agree 100%. These facts need to get to kids. Let them decide.
Josh would make for a good teacher. If I had kids I'd lock their devices out of most content but would allow this.
I am a vegetarian myself, for health reasons. But, I still cook and serve to others. I encourage people to network and find farmers locally. Buy from responsible farmers. I am not one to tell others how to live. A good farmer will care for the land and animals. Basically the whole circle of life. I live in an agriculture area. A lot of the land is getting sold off to developers. It's sad. I see animals losing the grass fields and hay. The land we grow in the land is disappearing. It breaks my heart. A happy cow is a good sign of a great farmer.
there is so much land in this country that's not being used....I hear ya...and here's my take....I don't care if it's roaches or rain deer.....if a species over populates it will cause disease....this can't go on forever....and we can't live selfishly forever not considering the consequences!
@jennsadventures84 Animal agriculture has so much more impact on climate change than where our food is grown.
we just had a cattle truck crash under a low bridge in Australia yesterday ( wednesday the 24.7.24 ) and vegans were filming a few cows got injured, decapitated and had to be put down, vegans were screaming animal cruelty, and i said: WTF Man, it was an accident, not cruelty. same as if a human has an accident.
Animal cruelty is imprisoning them against there will, packing them into abusive travel arrangements then slaughtering them. What part do you not understand? You are on a high horse, you do not realize its made of paper mache and its been on fire from the beginning. Have some compassion..
You are a bit odd@@RonaldGroves-fr1uj
odd as a truthful honest vegan democratic .
Look how vegan Cuba and North Korea are , anemic people are very easy to control . Now chicken flu affects cows and pigs. Figures !
Wanker
Thank you for educating on the facts! God bless you for telling the truth.
I lived in Chapel Hill NC for a good while and don't get me started on these topics, lol.I've seen dumbed down feeble minds with my own eyes.I lifted weights in. a gym there , and it was a stunning observation. I had a lot of interaction with vegans , and let me tell ya, they had no power. They appeared healthy I guess, but they couldn't get stronger no matter what. That told me what was wrong with it.
healthy doesn't mean skinny!! I hit the gym 5 days a week and watch folks jump around and roll around all over the floor....standing up against a wall and jumping in place.....they pay for this...and then pay someone to mow their yard, clean their house and wash their car!!!! I guess I'm the exception because I do it all!! GET OUTSIDE AND LIVE!!!!!!! If ya can't grow or raise some of your own food you're a prisoner to this flawed food system and the chemical companies that thrive on it! I'm working on a program at my local gym that I'm calling "Farm Fit" taking folks out to do farm chores that require labor....let's just see how long that lasts....jumping up agianst a wall v/s accomplishing something to beautify the land, breath fresh air and understand ecology. My guess is they'll be right back in the gym floor rolling around paying for it and they'll eventually wanna get paid for "working" lol...it's hilarious!!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer it’s certainly all that, but what I was trying to say is that those guys had no power. They couldn’t get to a resistance level that I consider respectable for a man.
I agree with a lot of what you say but with the population of today how do we provide the amount of chickens for example to feed the population in a free range setup. There is just not enough land mass in most places to grow that many chickens. My family farm has always had chickens on it. Mostly in broiler houses not free range for the most part. My brother currently has two chicken houses that have a capacity of about 45 thousand chickens. Just think how much land mass that would take to free range that many chickens. And he is just one of hundreds of chicken farmers in my area. So tell me how do we feed the population on all free range animals?
On my farm, I know I will need to get steer manure at home depot. I don't have enough space to support a cow. When one of my cats dies, the cat is buried on the farm and after an amount of time, the remains are dug up and any bones left are reburied but the other remains are just very fertile dirt. The most that is left at that point is pretty much the skull, maybe part of the jaw. Everything else is just dirt. So, the bones that are left are reburied. Now they talk about people who say that when they die, they want to be composted. It's a real thing, instead of being buried or cremated. I know in my religion we don't do cremation (I know there are some people who I've run into who do NOT like that)...but it's forbidden. Now, I don't know about composting...I don't think any scholar has said anything about it, yet. Anyway...I just looked it up. In my religion, the body must be washed, wrapped in a white burial shroud and buried directly in dirty (NOT IN A CASKET). And neither cremation or 'composting' are allowed because they both involve disrespecting the body. Either by burning (cremation) or by actually pulverising the body (composting). But, ultimately, it is up to the individual and their own faith. My mum was NOT from my faith. I didn't like it because I saw it as harmful, but SHE wanted to be cremated. In her faith, that is allowed. I had to respect that, even if I wouldn't have chosen that. If my kids leave my faith, I can only hope that THEY will respect my wishes for how my body is treated. And may the Creator's CURSE be upon them if they do not! Also, no...I would NOT 'reject' them if they leave the Faith. The only way I would ever even consider that would be if they became a trial for me (like they keep trying to preach their new religion to me after I told them not to). But, in my religion, it also says that we aren't allowed to 'cut off kith and kin'...which some of my kith and kin HAVE done to me. When they found out what I did...my gosh...they reacted like I said I wanted to SHOOT THE POPE, or blow up the Vatican! I never said any such thing! I wasn't even Catholic. But, yes, I got an e-mail 5 years later...'we are still shocked and saddened by your decision'. FIVE YEARS LATER!!!!!!
Forgot: in my 1 year old 19' x 37' raised bed garden at my little building I harvested 80pounds of tomatoes (4 varieties), 70 pounds of zucchini, 10 pounds of yellow squash,10 pounds of radish, 15 pounds of sweet onion,20 pounds of okra (still harvesting),5 good watermelons (still harvesting),waiting on 5 cabbage,sunflowers just for fun,5 pounds of sweet banana pepper and 50+ pounds of kale.I'm in NE Texas and all but okra,watermelon, and cabbage are done for the season. Fall crop will be broccoli, and more kale plants..
Exactly.
Feed lots are criminal!
If you have less people and do not have to create tons of food for each acre then you can get by without animals. So if we were a small population there would always be soil that was their growing the food and there would not be very much of it and we could be like the animals and leave our poop donation as we were eating the food.... Josh you are absolutely right on everything you are saying there. I was in Michigan years back picking up some organic Rye for cover crop from a organic farm and was surprised to find that they would not allow any inputs that didn't come from another organic farm or an organic source .. in case nobody realizes that the farmers although they account for a lot of the glyphosate use are only part of the problem since those products are used abundantly on everybody's Lawns and parks and around buildings and golf courses and whatnot.. I watched a RUclips video about a fella who had bought hey fed it to his goats and then use the goats poo to fertilize as high tunnels and out in this Gardens..... what happened was that the crops were all going bad they were getting up and then dying out.. it took him a couple of years and somebody said well yeah you were getting the hey from somebody who was using an herbicide that was to kill all broad leaves and it carried through the manure and didn't go away even after it was setting and composting for quite some time .. I can't verify it I wasn't there so I can't say it's true but I can say this when I started going organic I picked up the fields that were sprayed in the past and I mean 5-year more years ago. At the end of the fields there was circles that you could see from when they turned with the sprayer and nothing would grow their. I had another friend farmer who showed me something from Purdue and a professor who had found that the glyphosate was tying up the calcium in the soil and the farmers were not doing a water essay to decide what to add. Well it was a mystery until they started doing that kind of a soil test using water which is very rare in the non-organic world. When they did that they found out he was low on calcium and some other things that the glyphosate was tying up. So when you get sources like leaves and grass clippings you just take your chances. Tree clippings I hope are better but who knows? Hope this helps somebody
ecosystems....we forget about them when we choose to eat based on our concrete little block of the world don't we
...it`s really very simple...as we are omnivores, we should eat a little of everything........😀
I actually don't think that's true (I used to) I personally do way better on Animal products only. People honestly think eating fruits and veggies are healthy but they are filled with too much sugar, pesticides and naturally occurring chemicals that are intended to prevent animals from eating them.
Almost. In reality it means that we CAN eat a little bit of anything, not that we SHOULD. If it's available then we as humans can eat it and pretty much survive on it, whatever 'it' may be. 🙂
We are always either evovling or devolving. We are not all omnivores. Obviously. Use youre perception a bit more and if you are objective, it will be an eye opener. Living in a tiny perceptive closet is crushing youre spirit and abilities.
@@brockstar1311I understand about sugar part but pesticides are completely manmade. So you can't say eating natural fruits and legumes,lentiles,veggies will harm you
Well said, meat with fresh veggies from the farm in your plate is King and will always be
On the farm where my family came from...they didn't even have indoor plumbing! They had an outhouse! Every so often they had to clean out the urine and faeces in the outhouse. You know what they did? They spread that on the land as fertiliser along with the animal wastes.
Animal fat is the only source of vitamin B ( complex) on our planet.
Yes, we can get protein from plants, but the best form of protein is animal protein, so we can live a healthy, sustainable life.
Great video Josh!
If you need to take supplements, you're obviously on the wrong diet.
A simple concept made difficult by people who like to complicate the uncomplicated. ie. Common core math......
With the correct vegan diet, that will include foods like fruits, mushrooms, goji berries, maca, cacao herbs, sea salt like himalayan (packed with minerals) you have FAR MORE nutrient based meals, a very powerful alchemy. And it is LIVE energy. Dead animals on any scale doesnt even compare. It is so low on every scale in comparison. Please do a little objective research for yourself. You are living in a lie. Really, the real kind of really, no exaggeration. LIke kerlian photography. You will see for yourself.
If diet A requires supplements but produces better health outcomes than diet B that doesn't require supplements, then diet B is the wrong diet.
It's not what you feel is healthier. It's what has proven outcome data to back it up.
I am vegan and support farmers who raise animals in sustainable and ethical environments. I recognize that for many people, it is challenging to change their dietary habits completely, and continuing with farming practices that are sustainable and ethical is a step in the right direction. However, I don't support claims that are based solely on belief systems, especially when they spread misinformation.
While this is your channel and you have the right to share your perspective, I believe it is important to provide accurate and well-researched information to your audience. There are numerous peer-reviewed studies that present evidence on both sides of this issue. As an open-minded person who is willing to learn, you might find it beneficial to explore these studies.
For your information, I have been successfully growing vegetables without using any chemicals or animal manure, proving that sustainable and ethical farming practices are possible without relying on animal agriculture.
an ecosystem requires an animal component my friend....take away the animals, take away the ecosystem. We are not herbivores and the vegan diet is not healthy and or sustainable....we are not herbivores....food should not be manufactured...that's my take....and there are many vitamins that we need as humans that we cannot derive solely from plant sources. We've educated ourselves to the point of ignoring our own evolution...and it's happened in the last 40 years!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer You are correct, my friend. From an evolutionary standpoint, humans are indeed omnivores. This adaptability allowed humans to spread across the globe and survive by consuming a variety of foods. However, just because humans can eat a wide range of foods doesn't mean that consuming animal products for every meal is the healthiest choice.
Our digestive system is about 30 feet long, much longer than that of carnivores. This length is designed to maximize nutrient absorption from plant-based foods. Carnivores have different teeth, jaw structures, saliva, and digestive enzymes. Their stomach acidity is also different, optimized for digesting meat, not plants.
Catching animals is extremely challenging, as I have friends and family members who are hunters. It's not realistic to assume our ancestors caught and ate animals daily; They flesh in a wild spoils quickly and most likely will kill you. It was likely a rare event to eat animals, perhaps once a week, with their diet mainly supported by readily available plants.
Regarding your point about ecosystems, to grow plants, you know for sure we need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These essential elements don't magically come from animal butts; they originally come from plants, which animals consume... Also all the nutrients that animal flesh has, it comes from consuming plants. A tiger wont be able to eat a plant, but we can, and at the same time you cut our the animal part from the equation.
I fully respect your decision and beliefs, but I would strongly suggest reading up on the latest science when it comes to diet and our top soil and making decisions based on that.
In the meantime, I salute you for being a respectful and open-minded small operation farmer. Who knows, you might grow to the point where you tackle a big topic of regenerative farming.
As a vegan of several years standing, I must agree with you 100%. I took a vow, before I knew better, and live with the decision I committed to. From a health point of view, he best diet I found after extensicve research is the WIse Traditions diet of the Weston Price Foundation. Bless you and thank you from a new subscriber in South Afrika.
you took a "vow" to only eat veggies?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer a reliious thing, yes.
Thank goodness someone is right!!❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you!
Josh, you have hit the proverbial nail on the head, great job my friend, keep up the great Videos.
This is good information. A rant that is needed. 😊 My granddaughter's father was vegetarian for many years. He started having health issues, his doctor told him that he needed to start eating meat. Both myself and a friend of mine need the protein specifically from meat. I can tell physically if I'm not getting enough meat. At times no matter how much I will stuff myself with fruits and vegetables I will still feel like I'm starving. Just a thought- Buddy, my flemish giant's favorite food was chicken. We as humans for thousands of years were hunter gatherers. That is what our body is attuned to.
After listening to you and my mind going... vegans are not actually vegans unless they are growing and sourcing their own food. Veganism does not use any animal products or by-products, ie. eggs, leather, etc. So.. I see eating foods fertilized by manure from an animal are not a vegan product. 🤔
Veg, vegan, raw, fruit, low processed foods, a few beers. 45 and have a bile leak, it’s a lot of beef & apples when I can eat.
Also look at the vegetable nutritional decreases over 50-75 years
Amen
Sadly it’s all about money, what is cheap that’s what we eat. No comments on the vegan part.
I have a meat market in front of my house where you can buy beef,pork,and chicken raised on my farm. I'm in Richmond Indiana
that's great!
Amazing VIDEO!!! you hit all the points and where very respectful. We need the population to understand how their food is grown. THANK YOU!!!
Josh, I like you am an Omnivior.. for the longest time my meat protein of choice was Ground White Turkey, however today I
Also eat Pork, and certain cuts of beef when I make a meat loaf
I use ground pork and beef to form the meat loaf. Have had great success with that. Darn your garden looks so awesome it nakes me want some. Great job Josh things look wonderful.
A lot of vegans tell me they’re against feet lots… which is usually what Netflix shows.…
I agree with you 100%, keep telling the truth about fresh food
Plenty of people with high fodmap food intolerance can't eat legumes. most plant based protein comes from legumes. Lactose intolerance also usually accompanies intolerance of other high fodmap foods. People who suffer with those diets have to eat meat or eggs to get their protein. also people with anemia who need iron rich diets. red meat is the best option for them to get the nutrients they need. There are plenty of people on this earth that can't eat a vegan diet even if they want too. Aside from that, you can't have the option of a vegan diet without major farming operations to support you. Mankind were hunter gatherers from the beginning. If we did not hunt we would be extinct. We live today because our ancestors killed mastodon with sticks and sharp rocks. In every part of the world where humans have settled we have always competed with every apex predator species, and even hunted them going all the way back to paleolithic times. You cannot gather enough wild edibles to sustain a population. And even in civilizations that began large scale farming, none subsisted entirely on crops. Domestication of animals, and hunting went hand in hand with husbandry since we first began tilling the ground.
P.s. SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! don't eat the freaky paste in the tube!
Funny how 50 years ago we didn’t have these food intolerance, isn’t it? Really funny how when people actually got outdoors and worked together as a family they weren’t sick, they didn’t feel bad all the time they raise their own food and they got exercise. If they lived in filth, they got sick if they lived to clean life with wonderful family they work together. They had dinner together and they cared about one another now. Everything‘s just cheap punch o’clock fake money and another Disneyland vacation that means nothing.
There is a lot to be said for grass-fed beef. There are large feedlots nearby (John Wayne's former Red River Cattle Company). Free-range, grass-fed beef tastes better and the cattle are less stressed.
Love it! 💯 Know your farmer!
Most people, vegan or non, don't know where their food actually comes from or what goes in to how it's grown. Feed lots and chicken/hog farming has got to change. I grew up in Tyson country, and that is the worst... the smell, treatment of animals.. all of it. Hog houses are just as bad, if not worse. Wanna see how your cows from the grocery store are treated.. go down I40 in TX and you'll smell when you get to the Beef lots... Sustainable pasture rotation is the only way for us to move forward. It's called the circle of life for a reason.
I grow a lot of my own veg/fruit and am looking into a co-op for my meats. I'll get the hubby to cave on getting chickens soon.. then fresh eggs!
P.S. I'm totally jealous of your squash plants/harvest. SVB gets mine every year.
I’ve been carnivore since Jan 1. I have lost 80 lbs eating beef butter bacon and eggs mostly. Chronic acid reflux gone in less than 2 weeks in. Back pain gone in the first month. My energy levels are constant. No longer pre diabetic and or have high blood pressure. My cravings are all gone. I feel like a carnivore monk. I just feel at ease all the time, it’s actually great.
Former vegan. I still eat a vegan diet, but supplement with our animals that we raised. If we didn't raise it or know the person who raised it right, we don't eat it.
Eat real....eat local and eat whole foods!! That's the message here 100% thanks for speaking up!!
Josh, I agree with everything you are saying and love everything you are doing . We can, however, grow food without chemical inputs. We can also make bio-complete compost just from plants and grow food using the soil food web. Animal inputs are not necessary. Animals are critical for building topsoil like you are doing. Check out the work of Dr. Elaine Ingham and the soil food web school.
I understand composting very well…..in the case of composting we are the animal element right?
I started the Carnivore diet 2 weeks ago and I am feeling great.
Moderation my brother.....moderation....we need to consider our evolution and omnivorous diet
Dont forget fiber. (fruits)VERY VERY important.
Love this, it should be criminal for the food markets to allow the garbage foods pumped with chemicals and or cooked in a lab. I agree with u Stoney!
Well said!
The best explanation on the subject I have ever heard. Thank you for your passion for truth. Let those of us who know the truth never surrender our love for humanity!
Thanks for listening
Well done Josh excellent and informative and well discussed taking into consideration what Mother Nature intended. The chemicals are not natural but animal husbandry, sustainability and the natural cycle of life and death is and it’s what was intended from the creation of this amazing planet.
We raise our own beef,pork, and chicken we have eggs from the chickens and we are also a dairy so we have fresh milk
Amen! 100%, right?
A lot of artificial fertiliser is made from petroleum. One day, society WILL collapse and we will HAVE to figure out how to go back to 'the old ways' of farming. A lot of people are going to starve.
Interesting episode
Just make me want to get back to my ancestral roots in farming. Some Vegan people have mental problems yes. I don’t think all of them do.
It's important to recognize that most people, regardless of their dietary choices, don’t usually consider how their food was fertilized when they go grocery shopping. The concept of veganism, as some argue, is sometimes portrayed as a marketing strategy by large food companies. This perspective suggests that the popularity of veganism might be influenced by commercial interests, and that some individuals may adopt it without fully exploring its implications or reasoning.
Josh, great conversation topic--very well said and articulated. I'm in agreement with your position.
Amen Brother
Major Vegan influencer Zhanna Samsonova died at 39 of malnutrition. She was barely able to walk.
interesting
I have a relative who was on the vegan program several years ago. Said relative does not do the vegan thing anymore, and does not offer comment about it.
In Germany we have some 2% vegans. Nothing to worry about. Ok, some of them are rather loud ...
Afaik there are three types of vegans:
1. Ethical vegans. They wouldn't even want to kill a fly. Fine with me.
2. Those who want to reduce animal suffering. They could do much more by buying from farmers like you (or Greg, Joel, Gabe, ...)
3. Those who think animals are bad for the climate. Basically stupid, but as long as >90% of the meat comes from feedlots, they have their point. But they too could do more for the climate by buying from you.
==> We shouldn't focus on educating vegans, but rather on educating other farmers to raise animals 'the right way'.
Thumbs up on this video! I wish more people would watch this, especially those brain washed vegans. Never in my dreams would I have imagined food would turn into a political agenda. I appreciate your videos as well as what you have done with the farm to make it into the beauty that it is. Keep er sunny side up.
everything has some sort of political agenda or basis nowadays!! You know why? Because we're a society of people who value money over knowledge.....our opinions matter more than the facts of life....we're so disconnected from nature, soil and seasons that folks have the "Disney" perception of any lesser creature. I was at the beach last week and saw a couple with their darn dog on top of the table they were eating off!! Seriously? Ya do know that animal has been rolling in poop in the back yard right lol
Have you seen the price of farm raised beef. It's outrageous. I know cause my brother raises beef.
I can't see why he would say food is cheap, especially pasture raised. Those statements are by those that have lots of money.. Rice and beans are cheap, but not real food.
It used to be $0.65 per pound hanging weight, is it more now?
I'm looking for a meat based alternative to carrots.
bhahhahahhaha
Best rant ever.
I’ve never heard of a certifier allowing glyphosate to be used in organic. I raise usda certified chickens and we can’t use it anywhere in the vicinity. I’m also transiting my crop fields over and it’s not allowed either.
Man your plants look great! We can not get our blueberries to produce
Soon enough those "vegans" will be happy to have their "Soylent Green" chips when there is no real food available!
most certainly dependent upon a flawed food system!!
OK, you asked for comments so here we go. I just came across your channel today so I’m not familiar with all the details. Suggested by the title of the video, are you an RN as well?
You do make some good points and I agree with much of what you‘re saying. The fact is, that almost all of the meat consumed in the US comes from factory farms and we both agree that that’s not a good thing. The average consumer is extremely disconnected from the source of their food.
A couple of the things you said did make me shake my head, such as grass is green year-round, lol, maybe where you live. Here in the north east, evergreen forests do produce oxygen year-round, grass, not so much.
Yep...I'm a RN of 16 years now. Grassland sequesters carbon and builds topsoil more readily than forest land in most cases. I hear ya on the evergreen forest....but think about the amount of growth and senescence grassland has compared to forest. Grassland with a grazing component is in constant growth/regrowth where forest is in growth typically once per year and re-growth once per year.
You’re spot on, Josh!
I personally like a variety of foods & yes it is a choice & I believe I'm making the right decision for myself & family.
I really like the content coming from your channel Wooo 😁
I think it's important that when we make choices....we think about what effects those choices have on our planet!
My son-in-law, who is in the grocery industry, became vegetarian because he was so disgusted by the current state of the meat industry. He refuses to support it. I don't give him any grief over that decision.
That’s fantastic and 100% unsustainable he should seek out a local farm and buy his meat from someone he knows nothing wrong with going deer hunting and managing wildlife. Heartedly agree with him. The food system in this country is disgusting.
In certified organic, NO you CANNOT use Glyphosate.
Don’t you sell your cows at the sale barn which are then sent to feed lots though?
Another Important Msg, Thanks Gosh !!
This is truth in action thank you so much
I totally agree with you Josh and I am most definitely an omnivore. Great blog today and very easy to digest. Thanks for the information.
At 64 Years old now. I want to eat what I want to eat. Double Bacon Cheese Burger with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, & What not. It should be our Choice.
Well…..we all need to manifest healthy eating habits along with exercise. At 64 you want them golden years to shine and you wanna stay active and healthy for sure. It’s all about balance and moderation. I’m not far behind you my brother! 47 years old tomorrow! Feels like yesterday I was 20…I regret some of my diet choices from years past…..probably ate McDonald’s 5 days a week for 5 years!!
Very well stated Josh. 👍🏻👍🏻
All animals are here for a reason to support the earth
Are people supposed to have children they can't afford? The amount of food required to come close to satisfying the need is unbelievable. The amount of people that depend on grocery stores is why there's a lot of feed lots and confined buildings for animals to grow out to butcher weight. There's problems with many categories of this shenanigans of a world.
I know! We live in a mechanized society….people even think of their bodies as machines that just need “fixing” when in reality we are ruining our ecosystems for the sake of convenience and $$$$. Sad isn’t it!
@StoneyRidgeFarmer
Yes sirrr!!! Thank you for your response Josh!! It's always nice when the creator response to the average viewer. Have a great day!!
Good stuff, spot on Josh.
Am pro small farmer and put my money where my mouth is. We are in a system where the mass production of animals is inhumane and unsustainable but the cultural norm. US, one of the richest nations on earth can’t figure out how to have largest food kitchens in the world serving meat. The largest free food kitchen on earth is vegan with the exception of using ghee/milk and those are limited. Golden Temple. The Sikh community has been majority vegetarian for over 500 years and is a warrior tribe on country border regions, with many men towering over 6ft tall. Western ignorance is bliss. ~ if you follow the rules -no Tabbaco, no drugs, no alcohol you can go to any Sikh temple and get a free vegetarian meal, many 24/7. Can’t say the same for meat churches. When is the last time you saw a Sikh person in a turban on the US streets homeless? And yes they are repeating Bolshevik system by confiscating the food supply and making food deserts. Control the food control the people.
JOSH , what the heck? You don't need animals to grow plants. You only need insects and plant waste to produce COMPOST. Now for mass production to feed a over populated planet that's another story. What your doing is great but like compost it's slow too slow but the health way.
Are ya saying that a healthy ecosystem doesn't require animals? I don't understand...never seen a grasshopper compost pile or heard of a praying mantis eating grass seed, passing it through their system and growing new plants....I'm not sure how nature could function without animals....we need to mimic nature in our food production and consumption my friend
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer YES I'm saying you don't need animals to grow plants. I worked a garden with my uncle who was a school teacher. He would pay me for bags of tree leaves and compost them with food scraps, coffee grounds ,wood ash and plant a cover crop of winter wheat. Plow it in the spring and plant. Unless you call earth worms ,grubs & Beatles animals then none needed.
Compare the health, physique, energy, and mental fortitude of a vegan and someone on a strict carnivore diet, You'll have a pretty definitive answer.
I''m not advocating for either extreme diet but moderation of consumption. I know vegans that are in great shape as well as carnivore diet folks....I feel like everyone is looking for the golden ticket to the chocolate factory when we really just need to seek out whole, real and unpolluted foods
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I agree with your statement there. I've always been a fairly healthful eater, active, and in good physical condition,but after turning 40, I could tell a lot of the processed foods , grains and carbs were taking a toll on my body. After converting to a Ketogenic diet, and then full carnivore diet, I am the healthiest and strongest I've ever been. This 44 year old body is way stronger and healthier than my 18-24 year old self. I contribute it solely to meat. My mental health is also exponentially better as well. Every one react different, and other lifestyle factors are a huge contributor to health as well. Take care friend.
When I was a kid. My grandparents went to the farmers market 3+ times a week. The chickens free ranged in the yard. We ate those chickens and their eggs frequently. I would drink water from a hand powered pitcher pump in the yard. My grandparents bought beef from a slaughterhouse. My grandfather would go catch wild hogs from the national forrest and bring them back and put them in one of 2 pens and feed that hog corn for about 3 to 4 months, then we all butcher that hog and eat it. There was always a hog in the pen, and it's predecessor was in the freezer. Chickens were bought every 6 months and raised for chicken meat. There was only one vaccine, the polio vaccine. To date , the only one that has worked. The vegetables have been genetically modified. All of the seeds have been also. Having problems with your health? Try a carnivore diet. Grass fed beef. You might find out that all of your medical issues will disappear.
it never worked, it was just that the DDT spraying stopped.
There are most definitely deer and birds out in gmo soybean fields, we have a hard time growing anything including corn in certain places because of the deer.
That’s probably why yeah I have a permit from the wildlife agency called a depredation permit which allows farmers and ranchers to shoot deer on site. You won’t see how 4000 acre field of soybeans in Montana with 1000 deer that would’ve occupied that area prior to them becoming crop fields.
I read a headline a few weeks ago, but not the article, that cows do not fart
I'm here to tell ya they most certainly pass gas....on both ends lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer 😂
We had that in the jetsons! They looked great lol
Im sorry, but im not giving up the protein filled red meat.
Working people need that to sustain heavy lifting, 8 hours a day, 6 days a week at minimum wage to survive....
Josh, you mentioned plastic... You need to do a little research into how much micro-plastic is introduced during the packaging and food storage and you can add that to your rant good health.
I love vegans. They don't eat meat which reduces demand and increases supply. Clearly this reduces prices. The only downside is you have to listen to them ramble on about how much better than you they are.
I've got several friends who've decided this is the right move for them.....literally they watched a documentary on Netflix and have been "sold" on this idea....smart people!!! In 50 years we'll look back on this as the beginning of an ecological disaster!
Great video today
One thing you did not mention is that the plastic packaging and a lot of the chemical fertilizer comes from OIL.
couldnt say it better
Is farm raised beef is too expensive? We just bought a 1/2 cow. 336 lbs. 103 lbs of ground beef and 233 lbs of steaks, roasts, and a brisket. It averaged out to $4.50 per pound.
What is Money?? That's the even bigger question? What is it really? Something made up by man to have some value when in reality we're finding right now that it's virtually worthless....look at this inflation? Money isn't real!! Much deeper subject and I just filmed a video about it!!!! The perception that money is real is what keeps the masses at bay! Value is in food, family, education and nature...not in our bank accounts or wallets!! The value of an apple to your body will always remain the same...the value of a fake dollar will forever change....begs the question of reality doesn't it?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Money is real, it represents all those things you say are of value, things we can not carry in our pockets or effect rapid trade with. Show me the trade of cattle for a cargo ship.
Alot of sustainable farming systems that depend on low cost investment focus on usiny grass and nitrogen fixation through cover crops along with compost.
Essentially compost becomes the main feeder beside other natural slow release plant based products for specific NPK needs.
Compost can have all those dead animal parts along with green and brown carbon. Seems like the ominvore lifestyle is the cyclical health process of nature.
the thought process of N-P-K is something that's been programmed into our society since WW1....life is more than just NPK my friend....soils depend on plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and a myriad of other factors.....but we have found that NPK will make things grow....whether we destroy the soil or not. Compost is a great soil builder.....but the more the grazing animals is introduced to the equation...the faster the grass grows...and the faster it grows...the more compost we'll have. It's all about systems, ecosystems, life and death...with any death comes new life right! We've gotta consider nature instead of false idealism right!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I agree with completely, I was adding that even vegan based horticulture can allow dead animals into the equation and remain by the book.
I think that small farming was better for the environment and the consumer than large scale farming. But we now have large scale housing, large scale farming, and large scale waste. Think of the meat processor that has more meat recalled in a single day than you will even produce in YEARS, and the same for a large scale vegetable producers. The minor errors result in tens of tons wasted.
Your "rant" is sound, but it is hard to stop a freight train once its rolling.
Good luck with your business.
Every day we vote with our own dollar. Folks turn their nose up at raising their own food. Then when we have food shortages, they stand there with their hands out, wanting something free. Used to be a family, raised their children with responsibility to take care of animals And the gardens, the family worked together together, stayed together and prayed together. Now everything’s cheap handouts, abound and folks are just concerned about recreation when the true family bond comes from working together and making something wonderful.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Agree, have dubbed this the #GoFundMeGeneration
Nobody is willing to tote their own weight. The house of cards will collapse and noboby will be unscathed by it, but some will do better than others. Those with manual skills.
Yes all logical and all TRUE ! 👍🏼👊🏻
ALL things in moderation.
Veganism is not a diet, it's a way of life. Like your "american way of life" but counterwise. Each one with his own lifestyle, pal.
absolutely....and any lifestyle that negatively affects our planet isn't sustainable...despite the freedom of choice...I can dump motor oil out on the ground too...but I choose to recycle it my friend
Good morning !!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
I agree with you totally! Hopefully some vegans that hear you will realize that you are correct.
Unfortunately Josh you are preaching to the already converted. I doubt that many, if any, vegans would be watching your channel as they would be against your raising and killing of your animals. No need to convert me as I'm a staunch meat eater, there is nothing I love more than a nice tender steak or baby back ribs, even a nice hamburger goes down a treat. I do also like vegetables but as a side to my meat meal. When I was young my diet was meat and 3 veg with gravy on top and I have mostly stuck to that diet throughout my life and I'm now 76 and pretty healthy.
I think herbivores have flat teeth and no canine teeth. Seems I heard that 55 years ago in school, but my memory could be flawed.
I'm old school, I eat what fills my belly. whatever it is, a sand which with ham, a salad, beef, turkey, chicken, anyway, wooo!!
I am not an herbivore either. . You are a voice of reason.and understanding. Being vegan may not be a true mental illness but it certainly is willful ignorance by design. The current system will be overthrown and the family farm and garden are more popular than they would like us to believe.
I agree with you
Great video
Please continue doing what you’re doing
The hell with vegan
Not so much that idea.....not meant to put anyone down...just meant to make folks think about the reality of what they're doing...it simply goes against natural systems and ecology!
People are screwed with food these days so many digestive issues. No matter what you claim as your diet.
we choose what we eat ....the biggest issue is folks believe what they see on the packaging...we ship food thousands of miles from countries that have no regulations on chemicals and we don't read the labels on the food we consume....if it's got more than 3 ingredient...DON"T EAT IT!! Whole, real and unadulterated food!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer good luck saving money.
