Thinking Outside The Box

Loss of The Butcher, The Baker & Candle Stick Maker

I am in a rather odd place and time you see because I started in the age of out houses, to see a man on the moon and yes being able to write stuff that perhaps millions will read but way of the computer. Mind you I was just a bit player in all of this it provides my means to a living. In many ways out here information is both used and abused with recent events even dwelling upon fair use of public information.
I do however recall just how green of a life not only did my parents, but grand parents and great grand parents live if you remove how carbon was used then as it is now. Lets take the look of the neighborhood Butcher, up until the 1950’s and early 1960’s they were a stable of any neighborhood and some still survive to this day in every major city as a specialty rare highly priced. Today most meat products are produced all over the USA and shipped to the mid West for Processing Plants most now in dire corporate finical need or completely shut down Kosher processing with impending criminal charges. One food source meat became a corporate profit for share holders at quality and safety. A family farm or butcher shop would have never ever let quality and the safety of it products slip to such low levels after all they were part of the community they were in and their living depended upon their products not a profit margin. The Butcher made a livable living able to support a family and education and yes be apart of the community. Now days you have Oscar Mayer that maybe at best will send its hot dog car to a community parade. I will not apologize I am a meat eater without any plan no one has ever answered if all animals are left alone just what process and natural selection process will let them live out their lives without infringing upon humans. I suggest you visit India one day and see how all their holly cows live and the filth they impose. Such is the loss of the Butcher free range animals and I hate to say it humans are not outside the food chain we are a part of it. We are apart of the vey nature we study next case of my point.
The Baker used to take top quality grains change them to flower, baked into bread. Bread has lots of flavors, and they might also include nuts. So being a person of history Washington Carver a black man discovered the many uses of the lowly peanut. What drove him well it was a common nut most well left to hired help and slaves. But even vegans cannot escape the corporate profit with a simple nut in their industrial process they turned a peanut into the largest recall in American History, not to mention Spinach, and just about any other veggie arriving off a corporate farm now days. So you see the baker really did play an important role in any community.
Ah the candle stick maker you think is a candle burning in the wind? In the above process in the old days they took waste in the form of tallow and rendered fat . Bio fuel has been around since the 1800’s they used to make it for a thing called glycerin and even tallow and fat were made into guess what soap and stuff called cosmetics now days. But now days even that is an industrial product. Gone are the days when it was a local product.
Local producers have one motivation support their families now days no one need to beg a distributor to market their product to make a living. This is what my aim was on the web as a bit player but s the real world and failing model is now showing you can produce quality products but as it is now commercial central production has reduced and contorted simple items into inconsumable unknown stuff that may or may not be tainted because well a corporation is not accountable.

Think about it take out your American One Dollar Bill, it is a Promise Note good for all debts public and private. Who made the promise well Wall Street and the Banks! Notice how they find fault in all others when they get caught at a lie over that promise. A Promise backs nothing more then the Creditability and Reputation. To say Wall Street and Banks have lost not one time but twice I am of the voice of fool me one time shame on you fool me twice shame on me full me three times I do not think so. Paying for a empty promise is expensive there is Hope but change happens one person at a time.
