Wow! Great fish!!! Love the snowman pic on the boat haha

Yeah, if only every player in the NHL played with fairy wings on. That would be so exciting!!! Whats next? Asking politely to remove the puck from the opposition players stick while giving him a back rub???

I plow with a gator for smaller jobs, 3/4 tonne for big jobs. I like plowing, its part of my job that i really enjoy. I hand shovel the elders places for exercise. The gator is more fun for sure, doesnt even feel like work:) even funner when i put the tracks on to got explore the bush lol

Bigugli, your posts of food knowledge alone make me wish to head your way for supper! Im assuming you eat very well, please done tell me otherwise

Oh and i should mention heirloom tomatoes are of the gods lol. Glad i have access to them.

We the people do..Thats the point..Its run on a co-op basis you can buy sell or trade. There are a TON of seed banks run by average joes all over the planet.

 

Start here and go from there..

true, but my point was geared more towards the legality of there use now, and in the near future. Many people are already being sued bankrupt by laws that inhibit the use of seeds for medium sized and large scale open farming. In other words we live in a system within corporate society that is slowly, but blatantly obviously taking away our rights to bare fruit so to speak. Thus my concern for GMO anything. Patents pending and patents awarded are allowing huge corporations to control our food supply and thats just flat out dangerous. Illegal to use a seed you want to use? Seriously think about the implications of that. That in itself should be a crime, and never should happen to begin with. We dont trust the government with our tax dollars, why would we trust them with our food????

Yes, but he also fails to mention that producing a lower cost higher yield does not necessarily mean you(the company/corporation) need to lower quality to provide profit. When pseudo science is used at the expense of ones health to provide these lower cost higher yield products, your demonstrating an enormous lack of morals in spite of your fellow man. Enter this into numerous facets of human needs or wants, and the result is a culling of sorts. Intentionally or unintentionally you are harming nature in inhumane ways. Really, its a flaw in thinking rationally in what benefits from these practises. Unfortunately in todays modernized world knowledge and intelligence are in an awkward "beneficial" debate. To use it as a means solely for profit? Or use it as a means to provide health and satiety? When money rules us, guess which route gets chosen more times then not.

!

very thorough post!!! Hard to type while your riding your unicycle?

As if youd ever get any fishing done with this on your boat. Id be too busy playing explorer hahaha. Very cool

All we did was change the ip address and we get US netflix no problem

And my post is not directed at you as a person Art, just the general public as a whole. Hope you didnt take it that way

Funny you should ask about bread and asbestos. Many of the big food companies have there hands in a lot more than food now a days.lol. My line of thought is you will not stop profit no matter what you do it is the driving factor for both the consumer and the producer. If the company can produce a chicken that is cost per pound cheaper by chemical or by genetically modifying they will do it and you (meaning all consumers) are forcing them to do it. Few people would pay for a better product if they felt like they could not get someone else to pay for it. In other words take on an additional expense without knowing how it is going to be paid for. It is when a person can ignore the past statement when they become willingly debted to either a person or credit company. Now we have to look at the production side we as investors are the driving force behind less expenses with better profits to the stockholders. Without advances in production we do not have the land or capacity to feed people the old fashion way where it takes 3/4 acres to bring 1 sheep to market. Chickens raised here at our farm (faux Farm) are here for the eggs and are also free range cost.... wait for it 3 times as much per egg and 300% more room. it takes 20 chickens to keep 6 adults in casual egg use with this method. For there to be a profit to support a company of art's eggs is $11.25 per dozen.... the best I can get with this method is $5.00 a dozen from the public. The data just does not support a business model that supports mass produced organic produce.

 

 

 

Art

you just perfectly described how capitalism and the free market is a MASSIVE human error and exploits humanity for the sake of profit. A** backwards imo. You know art, if a person is knowledgable in "their product/practise" and does a lil leg work, consumers will come for quality. Read any of the comments in the Lund thread? Seems to me consumers are more than willing to pay extra for a superior product that performs well and exceeds safety recommendations. What makes you think producing food in a similar manner wont succeed or be profitable provided you do your best to educate, provide exceptional service and product? I get it, its more convenient to follow the new status quo of company disservice to an ignorant consumer fueled by nothing other then profit. Its no wonder our world is a complete and utter mess

Kypreos is such a blabbering hypocrite. He constantly spins his opinion to sound like a hockey god. One game he says "x team needs to play the puck up the boards harder". Then the next clip is of another team doing exactly that, and hes all " see, they just play the puck too hard up the boards. They need to go up the middle to be succesful". Drives me nuts

A spin class? No way, hot yoga for sure

that would explain why the team thought Spezza was a good leader, he teaches a mean yoga class!!!! ( insert Spezzas laugh here)

LOL that so true, after every game the entire team takes a spin class. Must be a European thing.

maybe its a brilliant nutritional plan to keep their hearts healthy enough to deal with constant heartbreak that playing crappy hockey causes???

The sens play hockey? I really thought they were a cycling team??? Perhaps they prefer cardio to playing quality hockey?

As soon as i hear the term "GMO", I automatically think it means generically misguided outcomes. Once science is used as a means to profit, its no longer legitimate imo. Do you think some of these conglomerate corporations perform "real science" for the benefit of mankind? Its nothing more then profit at any means necessary, not really the type of "pseudo scientist" i trust. Art, would you buy a loaf of bread from a asbestos company? I wouldnt. These arent "food" companies, they specialize in making poisonous and toxic chemicals. What a great place to get your chickens from! Half of them should be shut down for previous crimes against humanity, real talk.

Food is very intertwined with health. Ill gladly pay extra for quality food, and do. Its becoming more and more available to get quality foods, and i hope it continues to grow. You see, one of many issues i have with genetically modifying food is that we have little data on safety at this point, the whole world is just kinda winging it and "hey, lets see what happens". Ive seen this in other areas of our life and unless your privy to "real" double blind placebo trials that are NOT funded by those that profit from a favourable outcome, you really have no idea, nor do i. When i studied to be a nutritional consultant practitioner, and organic chemistry etc, my eyes were opened to some really strange outcomes of science, that the general public would have no idea was even happening. A quick example would be vitamin e. ask ten people what they think of vitamin e, and all ten will probably say "yeah, that a healthy vitamin". A few might say " oh yeah thats an anti oxidant, good to combat illness and disease". But i guarantee not one of them says " vitamin e is a great anti oxidant for general health and well being, but it must be natural tocopherol and not synthetic, because the synthetic version is mirrored, and thus backwords. The body doesnt recognize "backwards vitamin e" and it might actually stimulate an immune response not favourable to human health"

Control the worlds food you control the worlds population.. It has started and is well underway..with patents for soy corn wheat and rice seeds, the average farmer cant even replant his own seed in Canada..Or anywhere else in the world for that matter..Heritage seed banks are our only hope at this point..

yep, and who owns the heritage seeds???

kadri's a baby.

 

he'll get what is coming to him.

 

he's quickly being known as a cheap shot artist in the NHL.

 

that started with kadri giving a cheap shot from behind, then kadri sticked the guy ... i don't like the crap he does.

 

someone's going to knock him out .... he'll deserve it ... and hopefully grows up after it.

no worse than crosby, and he seems to be doing just fine. If he slashes etc and gets called out on it in a fight and hes willing to exchange punches, whats the problem??? I like that style of hockey, especially in a player that can set up and score. Pissing people off changes their game. Its smart imo, just dont cross the line and intend to injure

This is just the beginning. You're going to see GMO chicken, pork, etc. Scary stuff.

yep. Some of these corporations seem above the law. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if its already in the food chain to some degree.

When I see veggies that look like they should be in a floral arangment and chicken and turkey that look like they are jacked up on steriods,Im thinking what the hell happen to the orange carrots and red tomatoes we once knew to be true.

chicken breast is brutal where i live. Its twice as thick as it should be and its all full of knots. Friggen gross

We need to stop interfering with nature. I can understand fish lifting,hatcheries,but this is taking a wrong turn.

agreed

 

i'll probably get it first castlike your old fishing rod

hahahaha, true! Nah i got it out a few weeks after the water went down. It lodged up on the sandbar beating crap by ice/logs

 

Rogers and TSN both put bids in, Rogers won out. I'm wondering what happens now. I love the coverage by TSN, not a very big Sportsnet fan to be honest.

same here. Sportnet feels very "generic" and very bland
