[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1811128, member: 9198"] I have been reading through some of these old posts and some of them are good to remember. This one struck pretty close to the truth. Every year for the past 20 yrs or so we have had troops of scouts come to our ranch/farm for a weekend of fun (for them). They used to be called BOY Scouts but now they are Scouts, no distinction between girls and boys. In most cases some of the Mom's and a few of the Dad's come along. I always try to show them how farming and ranching was done in years past. One year we had about ten Mom's show up and, like always, I loaded up as many as I could carry in the Mule and took them on a tour. One Mom, in particular, was puzzled about the lack of bulls in the herd. I told we had three service bulls. She says "but none of your cattle have horns" as if to imply that that's what signified they might be bulls. I told her as calmly as possible that perhaps she was looking at the wrong end of the animal. After pointing out the nut sack hanging down between his back legs she got it. I told her not to go home and point out her husbands "short coming". So to get back to the point of this post, yes, most (a lot) of folks have no idea where their food comes from. They don't know how it is grown or raised or processed. Some believe the a brown chicken egg means it is "organic". These are the same people that are telling us that boys can be girls and vice versa. Sad where we're headed. [/QUOTE]
