It gets worse America is going to face some food problems , possibly if Biden gets his way with cattle. Because the lake under the Midwest is drying up and that means the most viable type of farming there will be cattle farming.

That depends on how you define 'midwest.' Some people consider that to be 'states west of Pennslyvania that border the great lakes plus Iowa,' some people consider it 'everything East of Idaho through to the Pennslyvannia border.'

And I can tell you, the Great Lakes area is in no danger of running out of water.

Actually even cities near the Great Lakes are running out of water.

Just 50 miles from Lake Michigan, groundwater is running out, leaving Illinois towns with a tough choice to make

Joliet is the latest city to give up on the deep aquifers, voting last month — in a decision officials called the most significant in the town’s history — to tap into Lake Michigan water provided by Chicago.

The problem is that the cheap water to access is groundwater, which isn't replenished in anything like a human-usable span of time. Cattle don't need groundwater, ranchers simply dig ponds and store rainwater in them for later use, the cattle will walk to the pond and drink. Fields of vegetables, though, can't do that and cities tend to need obscene amounts of water relative to their acreage, so they go with cheaper short-term options, which is depleting the aquifers.

This is the aquifer: Ogallala Aquifer - Wikipedia Midwest isn't what comes immediately to mind, but we don't have a west mid-west or better descriptor. IMO that is range land and should be used for grazing livestock that won't cut too close to the ground but farmers do what is profitable and pumping irrigation water has been cheap and plentiful. There are a few ways to address that, but banning cattle isn't the way.

This one's pretty funny. All the tweets are deleted now, presumably out of humiliating.

Apparently Gen Z Doesn't Know What Meat Is And I Am Now Weeping For Our Future

Umm, so I guess Gen Z, you know this upcoming generation of ADULTS, don't know what they are eating when they are eating meat.
notthebee.com notthebee.com

But a hefty number of people apparently weren't aware that meat is actually muscle tissue and had a collective freakout when somebody told them chicken nuggets were made from chicken muscle. Going by the tweets they thought there was some mysterious part of the animal called the "meat" that wasn't used for anything else but eating.

You're talking about the kind of people who just think that food comes from the store, and don't realize milk comes from cows, and food is grown on farms and the like. This shows the failure of the education system in, shall we say, certain areas. It's fucking hilarious that these smug city types think they're so much smarter than us poor, ignorant hicks in flyover country, but more often than not, it's the other way around.

I can, barely, comprehend a person not knowing that meat is muscle tissue given that we don't generally name steaks after the muscle group they're end (There's a few exceptions like shoulder hams and butt roasts), and I don't generally like getting on people for ignorance as with a sufficiently large group you'll always run into a person who just happened to never have a chance to learn a common fact. The one that really gets me is The Beige Sheep asking what ribs are. If you go through her twitter feed one person appears to think Ribs are actually giant veins. Everybody should know what ribs are.

There's no excuse for a person mistaking me for veins.

Seth Dillon, the CEO of the Babylon Bee, did a PragerU video on two topics.

First on how absurd reality has become by showing some of their satirical headlines that came true and secondly on the Censorship their Satirical wrongthink has faced from media companies like Facebook, Snopes and USA Today.

Coca-Cola and other woke companies better get ready to boycott the U.K.! The queen is announcing new voter ID laws.

Queen Elizabeth II is set to announce that citizens will need identification in future elections to protect against [looks both ways for fact-checkers] voter fraud:
