Fact check: TRUE It’s illegal to serve a glass of whole milk to a student in New York. politifact.com/factchecks/20…

Legalize whole milk in schools. Pennsylvania holds hearings investigating the federal prohibition against whole milk for students.
Some of our volunteers were honored to testify before a PA Senate Committee on the federal prohibition of whole milk in schools. Worth a watch or listen policy.pasenategop.com/mp-06…

Legalize whole milk in schools! Amish farmers hold a rare rally to call for whole milk to be legal for students. Zero coverage by urban food media. Zero. But someone in LA makes a vegan fake cheese and @nytimes all over it.

1. One area that I find so interesting with respect to non-human primates is how they handle the rain.
Mountain Gorillas just sit there and cuddle up with their family until the rain stops.
You can see in this video the babies are being held close.

In the tweet below you can see the silverback cuddled closed to a baby and it's mom to keep them warm
Silverbacks are wonderful protectors of their families. They're also loving fathers who are pushovers for their kids.
Watch this silverback act as crossing guard for his family

We define profit as being able to pay:
💲Cash rent for land
💲Full cost of labor (no one works for free)
💲Interest on all assets used in production (cows & machines)
💲Other production costs (feed, etc.)
Using this definition of profit how many of your neighbors are profitable?

Rural America should be ashamed. We allowed 10 corporations, the largest of which is a Chinese corporation, to own 2/3 of the hogs in the US. I thought rural America largely voted against central planning? Isn't that ironic? #AgTwitter

“The smoke from cigarettes takes ten seconds to stir the brain but a touch of sugar on the tongue will do so in a little more than a half second,” @MichaelMossC writes. “That’s nearly 20 times faster than cigarettes” (via @anahadoconnor).

If you focus narrowly on the problem as you see it, you might well lose hope, but if you look at it from a wider perspective, it's easier to be more positive. When I decided to leave Tibet, we set out not knowing if we’d live to see the following day - but I never gave up hope.

If I was King for a day, I'd use @USDA 's resources differently. We'll get four @USDAFoodSafety inspectors today. 53 pigs. The "modern inspection" pig plant 35 miles north of here gets four inspectors today. They'll do 8,000-11,000 pigs today. 1/2
