Fast Food is death. Period.

All of the immediate members of my family can cook.

We also process our own lambs and chickens. We cannot sell this meat. I can take them to a licensed processor. For a huge cost.

I Had heard the Boys den Admin wanted to see ncrease the number of processors because the US is down to FOUR to handled 80 % of the animals going to market. A few years ago it was 6. These are the huge commercial processors.

It also means they control the price paid to the ranchers and the price to the grocery store chains. No competition. Just a monopoly.

Chicken production is the same. A monopoly.

Its not cheaper to raise my own, as i cant bulk hay and grain st bulk prices. I cant graze government land for pennies.

What I do get is cleanish meat. No antibiotics, no filler, no gassing.

We need more big processors. And more small companies. Check out your local area, they usually keep a freezer stocked with flash frozen meats, bacon and hams.
