Interesting little piece. I blame global warming.

I've been noticing the deer and turkeys I've killed this year have all been huge. I got a 20 pound Jake last week and a THIRTY pound Gobbler Thanksgiving. For VA, that is unheard of.

I blame Monsanto

If Monsato means Genetically Modified Foods. These gluten free diets are under the same assumptions. Interesting indeed.

It's cause were feeding them stuff they are not meant to eat... Chickens don't naturally eat Corn! Cowns are best when they are grass fed...

And this is not even addressing the awful practice of feeding Cows to cows...

Wouldn't surprise me. The neighborhood across the street has a small clearing that is full of deer at all times of day. I have seen anywhere from five to 30 deer at any given time. It turns out the people that have their backyards facing this clearing are feeding them. They even have a real livestock feeder and salt lick set up. One guy drove his truck around and was throwing deer feed from the tailgate.

These are city deer. More like pets, and their habitat is limited.

I was having a discussion today about how when you look at films, news reels, or sports programs from 50, 60, 70 years ago you never saw any obese people. It's not the same as animals, but still.....

Look at your grandparents photos. No fat people.

Obesity is one of the biggest threats to our society.

So let's reduce the amount of food stamps we hand out. Problem solved.

Haven't you heard? The poor are the cause of all of our problems.

And what the hell is going on with these geese. Every year they get bigger as more and more come up on to our yard every summer.
