Chicken manure, which is about 10 times cheaper than alfalfa, is considered as an acceptable source of protein in cattle feed (it's reportedly safe if the manure is heated to kill the bacteria, however, this precaution is often ignored). Coprophagy, or feeding on manure is, of course, nothing new; however, given the exponentially increasing intensity of factory farming, it is only a matter of time before another BSE-type deadly outbreak of prion disease(s) in the livestock/human food chain would lead to a major disaster.

Try the new wrinkle in family farming.  Grass fed, rotational grazing for dairying and meat production.  Organic meat and dairy is a gold mine.

Now imagine a huge Prairie National Park spanning parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and neighboring states.  Assign commercial hunting rights quotas to farmers now going broke from climate change drought, who agree to sell their farms to the park, with their homes retaining the family owership inside the park.

They can harvest bison, now there's some profit.  Even guide hunters to get their own bison, and various wildlife species that thrive in the nastural prairie environment.  Game birds for instance, Cheney should love this idea, hehey.

Huge herds of grass fed bison, now that's healthy food.

And the government can set fair lease prices for wind power investors to site huge wind machines, assuring affordable, clean power for consumers.  If the government doesn't provide fair leasing of wind sites, it will turn into a hedfge fund fiasco of corruption and insider trading.  killing the low cost of wind energy that can benefit the uS economy.

Don't let the exxonmob monopolize renewable energy, like they have fossil fuel.  We see the wars and recessions that result.

Specifically, machines with planned obsolescence, very short-term.  Many varieties, e.g. the turkeys that the president "pardons" at Thanksgiving, are so ingeniously hideously bred to grow so much meat at so early an age that even if they are liberated, like those turkeys, they are too unhealthy to survive for long.

Would that the day might come, very very soon, when the world's adamant intractable meat-eaters can be satisfied with meat sliced from great batches of tissue artificially grown in laboratories, without any connexion to a real living animal whatsoever.

Chickens are our cousins! So are fish! So are other sentient animals! Let us learn to be kind.
