Suddenly a badger“To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.”

The Chaotic Good 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🖖@BadgerBadgerBadger @stonebear it makes me so mad to see bullshit like this.
It’s also incredible to see eggs portrayed as a luxury. Societal changes (driven by the wealthy and large corporations) have helped people become so far removed from their food that they have to rely on massive greedy corporations for their food.
They’ve had little choice. The very people who have removed the ability of many to grow their own food, or have chickens, or buy their food from local community markets, are now being told to skip food.
It’s fucking disgusting.
Stone Bear@Aminorjourney @BadgerBadgerBadger never mind that the whole egg price spike was industry generated fear, uncertainty, and doubt... Just like gas price spikes... 
@stonebear @BadgerBadgerBadger yah.
I need to sit down and figure out how much it costs to keep my chickens.
I know each bag of feed is about $75 but honestly, there are cheaper alternatives and my mother said when she was young they boiled up veg scraps and fed that to the chickens alongside oatmeal.
I get 4-5 eggs per day.
Paul Chernoff@Aminorjourney @stonebear @BadgerBadgerBadger My father-in-law mostly feeds his chickens from kitchen scraps, plants from his garden, and certain weeds that are good for them.
