Well, half of the middle class may be nutritionally deficient, technically that is.

What's strange is that when I was growing up, there were trees that bore fruit on every other block...We had an apple tree in our yard, and my neighbors on each side had a plum and peach tree respectively.....

Down the block, old man Willie had a pecan tree...As kids we ate off of those trees easily until we hit our early teens.....But the strange thing is that these trees haven't beared fruit in over 20 years now...

I have no idea why or what happened
i used to wonder about this too...then i did some research.

Turns out tree's aren't immortal :mindblown: they die naturally and bear fruit for only so long. How long ago were you a kid? How old was the tree?

Apple treas bear fruit for about 20-30 years if well maintained. They will live for longer than that but wont bear fruit.

Just sayin... might not be "chemtrails"

:whoa: calm down there sir. The sky is not falling. Nobody is gonna monopolize food or kill crops. At worst another corporation gets some goverment money, at best some advancements can be made that will help feed the world. I agree with the shoving extra shyt into bills shyt but that's Washington for you.

sorry:smile:
just upsetting.

You know damn well if noone says anything this should would slide on by like nothing. That's what sickens me. How much shyt DON'T get caught.

some day si just get so damn fed up with things like this.

Point to the specific provision, and let me read it. Because I've been on Salon and all these other sites like the International Business Times and that type of stuff is not what I see anyone complaining about. They are all complaining about what I just wrote about and I went and it and was like :why: Let me see that, I'll get at you at like 10 PM or so.

I gotcha troop..Give me a minute to find a widely respectable source, if that's possible

:ohhh:

From about 84-91 is when I was eating off the trees. I don't remember seeing any more fruit after Dre dropped the chronic album.

Didn't know that trees stopped bearing fruit but its a strong possibility that they were over 30 years old when they stopped.

My grandma got pictures from the 60s and our apple tree and my neighbors peach tree is in some of em, so yeah, you're probably right...

Learned something today.....Thank you...

There's enough food right now to feed the world, probably twice over.

Restaurants throw food in the trash b/c they get a chargeback on it, rather than give it away to homeless people right outside the door. They'll have an auditor or some come make sure it's beign thrown away and not given away.

Nobody's in the govt is concerned about feeding anyone. If anything, the govt will use this to feed the people on welfare for cheaper...and possibly at a risky health cost.

That's an irrelevant point. Poor people can't afford the food that the restaurants throw out. It's not a case of extra food being produced, it's that it's more profitable to grow crops that wealthy people want. So those crops get grown and flown past the hungry people so the well off can waste it. Cheaper farming means more people will eat, it's that simple.

Your dog can't afford to feed himself either, but I bet you'd slide some scraps off the table rather than to let him starve.

What makes you think the government is going to give that food to the poor? they have the ability to do it now but they don't! Why would they change now? You're naive.
