Thanks! I feel blessed to have grown up with parents who were into growing their own food-- not because they were part of any particular "movement," but because it made sense, and they liked fresh food.
Ironically, we live outside the local city limits... were we IN the city, we would be able to have up to seven chickens (no roosters!). Go figure... the official reason was that chicken feed attracts rats. Oh? And your backyard bird feeders don't?
Government idiots are always thinking up whatever stupidity they can.
I grew up on an Iowa farm in the 50s and 60s. Garden fresh vegetables and fruit, farm fresh eggs and other food. So, I know what you were exposed to. Great, wasn't it?
