Hoo-bloody-ray.

Not that anyone with two live brain cells would think that the fake stuff was real!

Soap box time - as a farmer who raises 100% grass fed meat anyone who thinks that cows fart is obviouslyt oblivious to the biological functionality of these fore-end fermenters. Unlike vegetarians, who are hind end fermenters and we know what that leads to, these animals fertiliase as they go and improve soil quality with every bite.

Long live meat loving hot headed passionate Italians I say!

100%!!! May you live long and prosper, from a animal loving carnivore ❤️🙏

Green Fields's avatar

You and me both - and may there be many more of us as time passes and the truth outs.

That's another thing which the vegetarians don't appreciate - that we love our animals and eat them knowing who we are eating, who is integrating with our body and soul. Most people cannot understand how I can eat a 14 year old ewe who was born with me on hand in case her mum needed help (they never did) and who's name is on the freezer bag. But they take more than their fair share of dairy products thinking they are being kind to the cow, because the cow is not killed. I would love to take one of those poeple to the dlaughterhouse to watch a new born calf desperately calling for its mum while waiting in line to be killed and having no life, just so the cow can 'have' milk for us. The cow, after 9 months of pregnancy and birth has her baby taken away from her just so we can steal its milk. That is shameful, cruel in the extreme and oh so very wrong. If you want the dairy you Have to eat the meat as well. If you can't do that then don't have the dairy. Eat only the plants and die a slow malnourished death.

Whoops. That was a triggered rant right there.....

Long live our farmers. Difficult times for farmers all over with these 'woke' governments telling us what we can and cannot do. We the ordinary 'humans' need to get rid of these unwanted politicians making policies that are deadly to the human and animal populations.

Eric J's avatar

Not a milk drinker however, I never thought about the cruel process for getting milk to ones fridge. Thanks for your passion & productivity as a farmer. 🙏

No true farmer/rancher does what you're describing here.

Responsible farmers/ranchers raise livestock animals with

fantastic open-range, grassy living and shelter in buildings,

caves or some other kinds of shelter during the night,

through bad weather and when giving birth as well as a few

days or weeks after for sows as the bores will kill the young to bring

the females back into estrous. Also, for pigs, the sexes are kept

separate and barrows stay with females as bores will kill anything

they're not breeding with. Most of us out here LOVE

OUR ANIMALS AND MAKE CERTAIN THEIR LIVES ARE WONDERFUL up until they

enter a facility to walk through a room where they breath gas

and merely go to sleep.

Green Fields's avatar

Not sure what I missed here with regard to 'no true farmer/rancher does what I describe'?

Confused.

Just noticed that there had been some problems with loads of "subscribe" buttons added to the post that was sent out on email, apologies for that. Should be fixed now :)

The EU was the worst idea these countries could have ever signed up to belong. They have lost the right to run their own country. Italy needs to withdraw from the UN.

Peter Imanuelsen's avatar

Doubt that Italy is going to leave the EU anytime soon.

Evelyn's avatar

Actually Peter I was meaning the UN.

As a Scot living in Northern Italy Brexit is a shambles. Simple things before are now difficult to do. Example driving licence switches. Carta di Soggiorno (Brits permission to live in Italy). Italian bureaucracy is well known! Can you imagine the nightmare if Italy tried to leave EU?

Although I believe in principal that each country should be a sovereign nation and not beholden to Brussels bureaucrats or part of a United States of Europe.

Elephile's avatar

The UK left the EU. But look at it. W prime ministers one after another, and a W king... still, the European royal family is a whole subject of its own. The UK can't even feed half their people without imports, prices are horrible, and so many of the people simply accept whatever they're told, on every subject.

Karen Bracken's avatar

The UK has not yet completely severed ties and that is the problem. They have been in limbo. Every country in the EU was better off before they joined the EU.

Baldmichael's avatar

Indeed so. As Karen says we have not severed the ties fully and that is the problem.

The other teensy weensy problem is that Germany didn't want us to leave and spoil the Fourth Reich plan to take down the UK. It has used our money to bolster Germany which did rather well out of the EU and no doubt still does.

We still have Gina Miller agitating for rejoin and that Nazi piece of work Guy Verhofstadt who is sticking his nose in where its not wanted.

Ms Miller is not even British by birth and Guy Verhofstadt is Belgian! They can go shove their rejoin where the sun doesn't shine.

As does the U. S. A.

EU needs to be disbanded. What were the people of Europe thinking?? Why would they give control of their country to a bunch of bureaucrats who don't even live there? The best (and maybe only) democracy is LOCAL. the worst is empire where you have bureaucrats 2000 miles distant telling you what you can and cannot do in your own backyard. UK had the right idea: Exit the EU!

Peter Imanuelsen's avatar

The EU is working towards becoming the United States of Europe where they control everything centrally from the EU HQ.

pimaCanyon's avatar

yes, and that is a horrible form of government. We, and most of the rest of the world, have government ass backwards. What we SHOULD have is this: Local government should be at the top of the hierarchy. That is, when the locals make a decision about what can or cannot happen here in their own backyard, it should NOT be able to be overruled by State or Federal bureaucrats. Likewise for decisions made at the State level, they should NOT be able to be overruled by the Feds. But we have it backwards: Feds can tell State AND Locals what they can and cannot do, and State can tell locals what they can and cannot do. When will we figure out that Local democracy is the only true democracy, and empire is a horrible form of government?

Penny's Ponderings's avatar

But you have to admire how Texas is saying "Scru u" to the feds and SCOTUS and abiding by the organic Constitution to protect its borders.

pimaCanyon's avatar

yes. I believe that's what the Founders intended: a confederation of independent states where the states have most of the power. Lincoln changed all that, so the states are now subservient to the feds.

Kathryn's avatar

It sounds absolutely ghastly!

Mike's avatar

EU, UN, NATO, WEF et al are corrupt entities, empire wannabes at every nations expense.

Cathleen's avatar

the citizens of Europe didn't have a vote on joining the EU, it was all done by the corrupt governments (whom, I'm sure were handsomely paid). Now, Croatia has joined and having visited there this summer (and three other times in the last 7 years), prices are very high now, whereas before with their own currency, the kuna, prices for goods, hotels, etc., were inexpensive.

JudyC's avatar

The US will obviously never do this…the FDA and our government has been bought and paid for by the likes of Bill Gates, et al!

DrGU's avatar

Francesco Lollobrigida, Gson of Gina, brother-in-law of Georgio Meloni, Prime Minister, is the type of leadership that the EU is so sorely lacking. Looks like Italy, Hungary, Denmark, and some of the Germans who are being severely penalized by the WHO Climate Cartel regulations are starting to get it.

Gene Adaway's avatar

Good for them. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that eating insects and fake meat grown like tumors is unhealthy, which casts serious doubt about the thought processes of those in favor of it.

Hannahlehigh's avatar

Thats awesome news, but I bet Trudeau will never do that here, hes too much of a turd and a puppet.

Rosa's avatar

Sad! I agree though. 😡

Rosalind McGill's avatar

I always wondered if I’d have grown up in Europe I wouldn’t have leaky gut and a laundry list of autoimmune issues.

pimaCanyon's avatar

yep. bad food. also vaccines cause a boatload of autoimmune diseases.

Rosalind McGill's avatar

How I got some of mine, booster as an adult.

pimaCanyon's avatar

yep. decades ago a friend of mine got a vaccine when she was in college. Almost killed her, instant onset Guillian Barre, she was on a vent for weeks, took her years to recover, she still suffers chronic pain and is on a lot of meds. They are all poison!

M Corbiciero's avatar

and that's why Italian food is the best in the world. All natural. No bullshit

Kazimir Malevitch's avatar

Txs!! I've red the story on italian news and as you pointed out, the problem will be that we in Europe live under a neo Nazi Government, Illegal, Antidemocratic called EU Commission headed by a well known corrupted German lady, Von Der Leyen.

Those bunch of criminals, anti democratic (you can read hundreds of legal considerations about it even on mainstream Wikipedia) are not accountable by their own rules, so they do and act as real Nazi use to do 90 years ago,

Another piece of their criminal acts it's the recent Digital Act that give them the power to Censor who they think or what hey think is Misinformation. Typical Nazi view of free speech.

EU System and Institutions have been only created to ensure to US, Corporations, Wall Street criminals, one only institution to discuss with and lobby in, to get the worst for Citizens and the best for them. Just think about Russian sanctions in 2014, if the EU Nazi Commission didn't exist, just few European Countries would have applied them. And not Italy at all!

Time to shut down EU Institutions on next June Elections!

Norman Gilmore's avatar

Well done ITALY . WIll other Countries follow ? I hope So .but they are possibly owned by the Eugenicist Parasite Gates

aileen's avatar

Good on the Italians but for me not surprising. My Italian relatives take great pride in their and the nations food and even when they travel to other countries will only eat at Italian restaurants. Even the disgusting McDonalds had trouble setting up in Italy and I remember only seeing one when i was there in Venice...catering as always to the tourist who needs disgusting processed shite food.

Peter Imanuelsen's avatar

Actually McDonalds is pretty popular in Italy from what I've seen. They have huge queues of Italians in the evenings.

Dave's avatar

Some italians (only the young ones with friends) but mainly tourists and immigrants.

It's the same in france. We still have good taste and haven't lost decency.

Elephile's avatar

I agree that Italian food is among the top cuisines of the world; however, what about Indian, Lebanese, French and Mexican food? Don't you think those are worth a try, too?

aileen's avatar

O I agree! I eat all those. It's my Italian relatives i'm talking about who live in Italy are quite snobby about their own food. I'm happy to try anything....many lovely cuisines in the world. In fact, i've told them they're missing out.

Dave's avatar

Well, we're not all snobs. I mean we are but we approach things intellectually and with an open mind. I'm quite well travelled and have tried numerous world cuisines and enjoyed them all.

Dave's avatar

Yes! Also Chinese and Japanese cuisine.

I could never forget the Scots - there are plenty of them in my ancestry. However, while haggis is good (I recommend swedes, aka rutabaga, with it), and almost any food is great when prepared expertly, you can't really say that Scottish cuisine is routinely wonderful. Sorry, but I'm thinking of battered deep-fried Mars bars and such like!!

Dave's avatar

Well, when we travel yeah we do eat Italian cuisine at high end restaurants but we also appreciate the local cuisine if possible. Of course, we recognize that we as Europeans are superior to the third world.

Janet Bailey's avatar

EU law should not take precedence over Italian law. Get out of the strong dictatorship of the EU! The EU is communist controlled dictatorship.

SD's avatar

I expect the Italian conservative government will make moves to get Italy out of the EU. That would trigger other nations who are on the fence about leaving and give them the courage to do so. This could result in those nations forming smaller free trade bloc's with each other to mutually support their growth without the jackboot of the EU Parliament on their necks.
