How much are a dozen eggs where you live?

[Mr Lars]

You didnt miss anything. First mention of gmo was by me in that post cause i am confused by the inconsistency

Not sure what ‘inconsistency’ you refer?
The mention of ‘vitamin rich’ feeds would indicate ‘heritage’ varieties of vegetation to feed the chickens, certainly not any type of ‘gmo hybrid’.

They are against vaccines because they arent natural but are ok with genetically modified. That is the discrepancy.

"Arent natural" is my summary. They arent sure of the long term effects of one but are ok with something else with the same risk.

I was our running errands today and I went by my local Kroger to get a few things. Also checked egg prices. Same Kroger I mentioned above.

If one were to get their own chickens, one could probably get the vaccines for them as well.
I think everyone should have the option of consuming vaccinated chickens/eggs if they so desire.
Same with fluoride in the water. Culligan and other water conditioning companies should sell home units that will mix fluoride into your tap water.
Freedom of choice will show over time which decisions are best, and then we will all know.

 

[Chef Duane]

My city adds flouride to its water as did the town I grew up in. Got no problem with it. Still have a full set of choppers.

The thing with the “new” health folks are they want to ignore or re-do medical research that is decades old and has been proved effective. The dude who said vaccines cause autism made up his data, and he admitted it. MMR vaccines save lives and a variety of post-illness effects including mental deficiencies, blindness, and deafness. Fluoride added to drinking water decreases cavities. Sigh. But sure, let’s spend even more money re-doing the experiments that were done 20-50 years ago. After all, we don’t have anything else we need to spend money on, do we?

 

[Mr Lars]

50-60 years ago, people did not ingest nearly as much food dyes, carbohydrates, preservatives, gmo’d vegetables, etc as nowadays. The formulation’s for those vaccines, and many other pharmaceuticals were based around the human diet being more ‘plain and pure’.
Re-testing, and re-researching in some cases sure would not be a bad idea.

I am now at the Denny's in Carson City, NV.

Here there is a note on the door that says there is a fifty-cent surcharge on all meals that contain eggs.

late 50s we grew our own vegetables, fertilizer came from the back end of the cows we raised. Ingredients added were simply hard work and canning the leftovers for later. Some of our labor went into raising a lot of rabbits. The harvested meat was sold to a local A&P market and direct to friends and neighbors. Can't find a source for rabbit meat these days. My grand kids can not believe people ate bunnies.

Rabbit is on buffet's in Missouri, but has,never been a staple in America like as in France. That largely for the very reason your grandkids express, they're bunnies. Rabbit to many Americans means Bugs Bunny.

In 1970 (I was 15 years old), my parents raised rabbits. Unfortunately, my parents divorced leaving my mother (and me ... last kid at home) with a few hundred rabbits. Dad taught me how to dress them out, but killing them was hard for me. I never got use to it, and to this day, still feel bad about having to kill any animal (which I've had to do occasionally out of necessity).

Mom sold those rabbits for $2.00 a dressed rabbit. The only requirement was, the right front foot had to still be attached to the dressed rabbit. The reason for the right foot, which is standard practice for rabbit meat, is so it can't be swapped out for cat. A dressed cat looks identical to a rabbit, you can't tell them apart until you cook them and eat them. I will honestly say, I never slaughtered a cat!

All but a few of them, which we kept for ourselves, was sold. Mom kept the money, which she truly did need.

In time, they were all slaughtered and the breeder male and the 3 females were sold. I think mom got like $10 for each of them.

I was never so happy in all my life to be done with "rabbits." Since then, I've never had rabbit meat again.

Years before, we had chickens ... lots and lots of chickens. Mom slaughtered the chickens for meat. I can still smell that horrid odor dropping those dead birds into boiling hot water to de-feather them.

Growing up on a farm in rural Indiana ... well ... some city folks will just never understand.

I was telling my grandaughter this past week of when my granny would go out in the yard and snatch a chicken up, wring its neck and that horrid smell when she'd drop it into that pot of boiling water.

I grew up a city boy but dated a country girl in high school (mid-80's). Her uncle raised turkeys and I was invited to participate in the slaughter just before Thanksgiving one year. I had no idea how that worked but got to work each step in the process. Interesting to say the least.

Whilst in Montana last year we drove up a rural road and there were dozens of rabbits running loose around a house. I couldn't believe my eyes. Very pretty and colourful.

I remember having rabbit twice. First time I really enjoyed it but the 2bd time it had lots of tiny bones and it totally put me off.

The local high street used to have game birds and rabbits hanging outside of the butcher shops when I was young.

When I was a kid my brother and I raised rabbits for while. Always tried to have a bunch of bunnies as Easter approached. We ate a few but never did feel right munching on Thumper.

He was great friends with Bambi.

Being from rural Missouri, I have eaten my share of rabbits, but they were all wild (ok, I've had a few in restaurants as an adult, when I could afford it).
You don't hunt until the first hard frost (kills worms), and then you find someone who knows how to cook rabbit. Mom made great stew and rabbit & dumplings were even better.

Do rabbits eat eggs?

 

[Chef Duane]

Dunno' if they eat eggs. Momma rabbits sometimes eat the runt of the litter. Seen that a few times. Nasty.

I will have to use more laughing emojis. That was my poor attempt at trying to nudge the convo back on topic
