If we were farming in closed loop systems a lot of the points made by Bitcoiners would hit harder.

A lot of you don't realize how reliant farmers of all sizes are on various inputs that are affecting things negatively.

Vaccines: you see a lot of labeling as to no added antibiotics or hormones, but farmers of all sizes are vaccinating their animals.

-> confirm with your ranchers/farmers.

Deworming: again, the labeling takes your attention to hormones & antibiotics - but has the animal ever been dewormed pharmaceutically?

-> if it did when was the last time it received a treatment?

Hay/feed: is the hay fed to the animals sprayed?

Is the supplementary feed organic?

Minerals: is your farmer using a mineral supplement that's formulated for the animal?

If they are I guarantee you there's at least one highly nefarious ingredient in it.

For ex, "mineral oil" is a ubiquitous one & its derived from a byproduct of the petroleum refinement process.

-> solution: grow your own 💗🗽
