They've been lying to us all our lives, just to get more money into the hands of the food and drug industry. Butter is one of the best things you can use...preferably fresh outta the cow!! MMmmmm!!

Someday I want a goat, a cow for milking and one for butchering, chickens, and other assorted fowl, my large organic garden, solar heat, a water well, and maybe a windmill to produce my own energy. Is that too much to ask??

I tried solar before near my garden and was able to get a radio going as long as the sun was shinning

That is almost a buck cheaper then what we pay for Butter. I get Hope Butter for $ 3.89 a lb..

When you get to noticing all the products that contain the partially hydrogenated soybean oil, it's amazing! No wonder people have clogged colons!

it's okay as long as it's not partially hydrogenated.

sounds good... the more soybeans people use the better it is for farmers.. put ethenol in your gas tank too.. it lasts longer and runs cleaner...

Speaking of zucchini, can anyone tell me why my zucchini is rotting at the end. At 2 or 3 inches the end of the zucchini gets very soft and then begins to rot. We are having a whole lot of rain lately. I'm wondering if that could be the problem? Thanks,

The zukes are withering because they were not pollinated adequately. This will cause the zuke to abort, same as any squash, pumpkin, etc, The cause could be the weather, decreased beneficial insect activity, etc. You Could Hand pollinate for 100% pollination!
