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...

This is new to me. Thanks for sharing.

Who tried? And could you understand the program?

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...

And buy new plants and flowers that will live just one season in garden centers or other shops. These plants are often filled with pesticides. Which is another good reason not to let the chickens free range. Imho it should be avoided to buy ‘treated’ plants at all costs because its not only...

Here we have different types of peanut butter. They sell 100% peanut butter too. This has no added sugar, salt, fat or anything else. I don’t have a clue wether that is processed food or not. .

You named the problem we have with politicians. But a real democracy with honest politicians could solve a lot of problems, that are created by dishonourable politicians and industries with lobbyists. Savvie?

Personally I think it’s not the processing itself that is the problem, but the unhealthy things they add to make it tasty with cheap ingredients. But I don’t know for sure so I wonder what the main problem of HPF is. The amount of processing or the added sugars, salts and fats. And I wonder...

In the Netherlands we have a tv program that investigates questions of consumers, from food fraud to misleading labels. One of the items that passed in the last year was Lipton tea. Lipton adds sugor in the tea bags without telling on the label. A few weeks ago they had an item on frog legs...

I prefer your summary over the quite unreadable report.

In my country brown, white and red beans are cheap if you buy them in larger pots. If you mix them with an egg, spices and breadcrumb you can make tasty burgers, cheaper than any meat. They have lots of proteins. Fresh and cheap vegetables are carrots, onions and cabbage.

I don’t understand the connection between diabetes an not eating cheap factory farm meat. Sounds like you got the wrong info for a healthy diet. In general you can say that veggies are way more healthy than meat. Eating just ½ a portion of meat and double the amount of vegetables has proven...

Sorry @3KillerBs but I completely disagree. Imho its soo sad that some people descibe the horrible circumstances these chickens live in as not so lovely. Farmers have been breeding chickens for over decades (almost a century ) to increase production. The genes of the ones that did’t survive...

It would be fabulous if people start to eat way less factory farm meat and eat only once a week more expensive meat from extensive hold animals that do have a proper life. (Imho)

@Perris this was in our news today (translated from levende have with google): ZOOs ARE ALLOWED TO VACCINATE AGAINST BIRD FLU; HOBBY POULTRY FARMERS NOT YET 17 MARCH 2023 - 11:06 Zoos with a vaccination plan against bird flu are allowed to vaccinate. The precondition is that they are affiliated...

In the Netherlands the cow disease led to changes in feed too. Adding meat ( or animal by products like brains) in feed for livestock got prohibited. PS insects and mealworms in feed for animals meant for consumption are allowed.

There are people on a chicken forum in NL and BYC on that swear you should feed your chickens max 10% - 25% other feed than industrial feed.

Strange authorities you have. On the other hand … The Belgian government had a campaign several years ago to buy a few BY chickens and give waste food (not rotten or bad) to your chickens.
