Government Overreach, way back, indicative

Dairy companies lobbied the government to disadvantage their competition. It wasn't removed until decades later.
Then we all had the government idiots telling us butter was bad, and margarine was good in the 1970's. Both are just fat. Both examples are government overreach and wasting our time!

    In the Fifties, there was a concerted effort to make us believe that vegetable oil was far better than lard.There were business powers trying to get rid of the Diesel lubricating oil that the Navy no longer needed after the war (Canadian Oil - Low Acid or CANOLA oil) by selling it as cooking oil.
    In the early 1900's someone perfected a gin for processing hemp into high quality thread. This threatened the cotton industry, and they had the government outlaw hemp, using the unfamiliar Mexican name for it, Marijuana. Apparently a few blacks were smoking it for a cheap high, so they worked it up into a national health crisis that had to be dealt with at all cost. (Like the Wuhan Flu).
    Businesses come up with these ideas and the government goes right along, if they can see a tax profit in it.

    Try living in Colorado where the goofy Gov placed into law you cannot sell eggs, if you can find them and can afford them, but they MUST be certified cage free. What left wing nut group all of a sudden think this should be law?

      Not a chance. Never CO. Never CA, NJ, VT, WA or OR. CO is a great state dominated by a cesspool in Denver and Golden. WA and OR have similarly been dragged to sepsis by their big city scum.
      My wife has wanted chickens for a while, and we love farm eggs. We have two acres next to 100 acres of woods. Maybe time soon. I'm perfectly happy to butcher them too.

        Add Nevada to the list. Vegas has been under control of the old but continuing Harry Reid machine for years, now Reno is going down the tubes with the blue state exodus from over the hill. Corruption reigns!

        With 100 acres of woods, you'll need some way to keep the foxes and possibly coyotes away from the hens. ;^) Can you hunt deer on the 100 acres?

          Our dogs keep coyotes and foxes away from our lot. YES! I can (and do) deer and squirrel hunt there. It is now town land, and our town is VERY firearm friendly for the People's Republic of MA! Out my front door and left. 50' to the woods.

    "Both are just fat." Wrong.
    Butter is far better for you than some chemically contrived, hydrogenated fat substitute our bodies were never evolved to process.

      They are still both 100% fat, which goes directly to you waist, unless your body reaches an aerobic state to process it.
      After that, we only buy butter, and then only Irish butter, because it tastes better.
