Taco Bell: we do SO use meat in our meat!!

Good luck with that! A friend won't eat my home-raised chickens because "they walk in their own poo", but eats TB all the time. Umm, how does he think they keep the prices low?

And how many times have I driven past "farms" where hundreds of beef cows were standing in their own poo. All day. Nowhere else TO stand.

LOL Abi beat me to it, and with better points.

I'm there!!! I'm just amazed at what passes for common sense these days.

I would be more concerned about the cheese sauce they use...

Had rabbit last night. I find it easier to raise pounds of rabbit than pounds of chicken. Maybe I should just plant up more food for rabbits and get my feed costs down. I have about 3/4 acre not in use yet.

Most beef around here is grass/hay fed too. My rancher friend (who said he'd split one with me) buys cottonseed meal as well. I haven't looked that up yet.

Now if only I can get started with turkeys this year. And my geese will produce. They've sure been breeding like crazy! If I end up with 3 goslings each this first year, it will be a good start. I may need another freezer tho.

I think the whole Taco Bell thing is just a lawyer stunt.

I agree, but I would not take bets on WHOSE lawyers it is a stunt of. It could be someone looking for attention; but IMO it could also perfectly well be a publicity stunt by Taco Bell itself. (Gets yer name in the media, gets you to be able to have lots of free advertising 'hey our taco filling is nearly-all nearly-beef', etc)

Call me a cynic,

With just my little back patio, I do what I can lol. But I suffer serious farm envy around here LOL. Someone will have to adopt me. I'll come learn how to do all these great skills

*puts herself up for adoption*

I come with many books, a kitchen, 2 awesome cats, and a strong dose of surreality.

I understand. I had to let my little farm go and spend some time in a tiny cabin where it was far too cold to grow much and too many bears and mountain lions to consider livestock. I had serious farm envy too.

Unfortunately I can't adopt anyone with cats. My little miss queen kitty rules the house with an iron fist and tolerates the fatboy she was raised with, but there would be a screaming full out attack if any other cats DARED enter.

She's the tiniest thing too. Part Siamese (tiny bone structure) but without the length of bone. Looks like a small football with the stance of a bulldog.

I'd love to have someone around with your particular set of skills though. My sewing could use help!

My girl is tiny too LOL. 6 pounds of half siamese attitude

Oh then I bet they would NOT get along!!!

Wasn't that your cat that attacked the other cat being bathed in an attempt to "protect" you from it? Or do I have yours mixed up with someone else's?

LOL I have a German Shepherd going about 110 pounds right now and he does NOT mess with her!
