10. To omit balance...
Edited on Tue Mar-15-05 04:46 PM by libertypirate
I just recently took up raising a clutch of backyard chickens. It is amazing how our culture has changed in such little time. Most people don't realize it costs more to buy eggs in the grocery store then to raise the birds yourself. Seriously I spend like $10 a month to feed my 5 birds.

Guess what I found they do more then lay 5 eggs a day. The contrast between my back lawn and my front lawn is a riot. While my front lawn looks like a dandelion breading farm, my back lawn has almost none. This wasn't always the case last year I had bald spots where they grew in. The birds are a very helpful creature they fertilize the lawn, turn the dirt in my garden, pick through the compost, and eat almost any leftovers I throw out to them. On top of that their crap which I do have to deal with, power sprayer :), fertilizes everything.

Our society has perverted the lives of these creatures so we can make their value cheaper.

Organic farming is not the problem, it's that industrial farming cannot exist organically, better known as naturally.
