Sorry, got carried away.
However, it is related if we talk about organic vs poisoned food. Bc there is proof now that organic/poison free food is healthier, the baby food in jars 🫙 needs to be poison free in my country (EU?).
Therefore the veggies in baby food are grown on special plots where...
In the Netherlands it’s the people who work in the flower industries 🌷 or live nearby all those beautiful flower fields. They very often get Parkinson D because of the cocktails with poisons they use to keep the flowers free from bugs. Potatoes and many others crops are bad too, but flowers...
Two days ago a scientist on nutrition wrote an article in NRC a good Dutch newspaper. Translated with Google.
Unhealthy distrust of oils

Intro
In their fight against seed oils, people like Robert Kennedy Jr. invoke outdated ideas. That will not do public health any good...
Thanks for replying and your view on fresh food in winter. I think you are absolutely right and do the right thing giving sprouted barley in winter as a fresh extra.
My chickens have access to fresh greenery (grasses and a few herbs) all winter except for maybe 1 week or 2 when they free...
Yes, but the feed company does it for me. They make my life easier.
The ingredients of my local brand (AR).
Wheat, broken corn, millet, sunflower seeds and mussel shells
Only the corn and mussel shells are broken.
The brand AR : A stands for Agriculture , the R for the Rhine harbour in my town.
I understand people don’t like typing too much. But you really should add an * if you are using abbreviations many people don’t understand , and add ^^ the above post or a link to it in your explanation/the discussion. If you bookmark it you can add this info easily with copy - paste.

Interesting discussion to read, but I just give my chickens organic food and a variety of waste food , grains (organic scratch) , sunflower seeds, mealworms, egg shells, and oyster shell. + They search their own feed too when they free range. I give mostly chick feed now, bc I have juveniles
I...
Im pretty sure this won’t work. Just like it didn’t work to persuade the people to stop smoking / vaping. People are too often easily persuaded in choosing unhealthy things (marketing). Especially teenagers (in general) are not wise in their behaviour.
In my country taxes on cigarettes went...
I completely disagree. Let people pay much more for sugar and unhealthy junk food.
And no taxes on unprocessed vegetables, fruit and the basics like floor, seeds and grains without additions. It can contribute to shift from eating unhealthy food to healthier food. By levelling more/no taxes...
FYI:
In the Netherlands, Belgium and probably in many more countries, we have a problem with PFAS in our environment.
A research in backyard chicken eggs around a factory that produces PFAS showed an alarming amount of PFAS in the eggs (published last September). The message: don't eat eggs...
If you could make a treadle door -like the mechanism in the treadle feeder- that works two ways, and is open as long a chicken stands on the threshold (make it wide)? You need to create a mechanism that works immediately if a chicken steps on de threshold. It should open/slide the door. I can...
I watched a TV program about a Dutch research to find out wether organic food is more healthy than regular (not poison free) food.
It was paid for by our government, conducted by several well known institutes (WUR, TNO snd Louis bolk) several years ago.
The program starts with a veggie farmer...
What is true for most people doesnt apply to everyone.
Some of the general advice is certainly not working and not healthy for everyone. But in research this ‘groups’ or rather individuals are often expelled and are not seen in the outcomes, and not listened to by the general health services...
