I have gotten a ton of negative feedback on YT about my talk with Yoel and Mari. A lot of people saying that letting a Cuban man speak his mind is pushing CIA talking points. It was suggested I watch this video instead, so I will share it with you and I welcome your feedback. As an outsider, there appears to be two extreme camps: the USA is always the sole problem or the USA never does anything wrong. These both seem to be disingenuous. But my real question is this, it feels neocolonialist to tell a Cuban man what his experience should be, so how would you have handled the topic differently? I know there are some very smart people here, so please give me your ideas.
Carla the chicken joined us for spaghetti dinner and I was shocked by how much she liked it. I looked it up and apparently spaghetti is a chicken favorite. Carla is technically not allowed at the dinner table so don’t tell Lynn. 🤫
Trump’s executive order protecting glyphosate (which RFK Jr supports) is such a perfect example of how the American political system works, and one of the main reasons I became a farmer. Bayer (which acquired Monsanto in 2018) is getting sued into oblivion over claims glyphosate causes cancer, to the extent they’re paying out billions in losses and facing the real possibility of going bankrupt. Then all of a sudden, states like Georgia pass laws protecting glyphosate manufacturers from liability and the President passes a similar executive order in the name of national defense. Is this timing a coincidence? The big corporations in this country have direct influence on politicians in a way the average American can never compete - that is, unless we leave their system. We must go direct with farmers who use the kind of methods we want for our dinner. Even if we ban glyphosate, there are plenty of worse (yes, hard to believe!) chemicals waiting to take its place. There is no way out ...
