THOUSANDS of red Skittles that spilled onto Dodge County highway were intended to be fed to cows

THOUSANDS of red Skittles that spilled onto Dodge County highway were intended to be fed to cows
cliffs: skittles fell out of container, they were defective and intended to be fed to cattle, this is apparently a common practice
Ok, this might be the last straw for me. I already eat A LOT of fruit and nuts and I get like 50% of my protein from plant extract but I still eat poultry and fish. I figure it cant be THAT HARD to just stop eating the meat right. I feel like I already get enough short-chain fatty acids from the exorbitant amounts of walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and other assorted nuts that I eat to create the necessary amount of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids I would otherwise also be getting from meat.

Makes you kind of want to buy grass fed beef or just go hunting for a deer instead.

Apparently it doesn't take much to be a livestock nutritionist. You can literally feed them discarded skittles and call it a day.

For what, exactly...? I've already tried adding coconut oil into my diet as a weight loss supplement (I don't need to lose any more weight though). Coconut oil only works for weight loss as a replacement for fats like other oils and butters. If you cook/bake with coconut oil or use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil or canola oil or butter or peanut butter, the fat in the coconut oil will tend to make you less fat. But if you used to eat half a pound of butter a day and you now eat a pound of coconut oil a day don't expect to lose weight!
I don't consume any butters or oils. The only fats I consume come from nuts and meats.

Candy is mostly sugar, sugar is the cheapest fattening nutrient there is, so its advantageous to add sugar to animal feed. Probably they messed up the recipe and the skittles needed to be disposed of.

What worries me is all the stuff you know they don't want to admit they are giving to their livestock...
Skittles are far from the worst thing we have to worry about in our food supply sadly...

I don't buy much beef but when I do I almost always go for freerange grassfed stuff, it tastes much better IMO and I feel good knowing the meat isn't from some poor tortured animal.

Don't you fry foods or use cooking oil? If so, coconut oil makes a great replacement.

No, never. I almost never even eat meals, I just eat nuts and berries and apples and bananas and a slice of deli meat here and there throughout the day as I need energy, plus a protein shake in the morning.

Cows have 4 stomachs because grass is such a poor source of nutrients. I'm all for giving them oats and corn husks and stuff as occasional treats. Every critter should get treats.
But with the market the way it is it's either strictly grass fed or strictly bullshit fed.
Btw you guys crack me the fuck up

I go pretty hard on tree nuts and fruit myself, but also oatmeal, rices/quinoa, breads - spinach and broccoli - and chicken and fish for meat. I don't think I would feel right going on just tree nuts and fruit for more than a few days though. Need a solid meal myself.
I've found that I'm physically more capable when my body fat is around 18-22% as opposed to something less.

Was not saying grass is the best it is just far from the worst. Exactly, I would rather play it safe and spend more for eat from animals that actually lived free to roam outside and eat naturally.
If I ever own livestock I will spoil the shit out of them with tasty natural treats I would try and grow most of em myself though

Interesting. I've recently gotten down to around 10% and the lower I get the weaker I feel even though I have significant muscle mass.

 I used to live on a small farm and we grew alfalfa in the cooler months and corn in the summer months. Our Angus cows got regular treats of hay and corn/conrhusks. And salt licks. Livestock love the shit out of a block of salt.
We also had composite feed (basically dog food for livestock) we'd give to them on occasion and it was great. The msg or whatever they put into it makes that shit addictive - whenever they managed to get out of their pen or we needed to rouse them up we'd take the feed bucket and jiggle it and they'd come running. Didn't even need to have feed in it. Tho you could tell they would be pissed about not getting treats.
