Hello Friends,
I don't know how many women complain about "chest freezers" but I know that the majority seems to complain about this appliance for one reason or another. We have a smaller chest freezer in the house that I bought about 3 years ago, and I thought that for just 2-- people it would be perfect, but I guess I was wrong again. I do listen to my wife and if something rings true with logic --- I will buy it.... agree. Upon making any decision in life I always felt that doing the research FIRST might save time, money, misery, and also keep my wife happy and content. One of the biggest sins in our house-- growing up on the farm in Wisconsin was: wasting food. I noticed the same thinking when I was in Germany in early 1968-- for six months [working for the Gov't].
And didn't our mothers always admonish us about all the starving kids in China who were poor and hungry --- so that we should never waste our food?
However, now that we are much older and over weight [Prosperous] we want to lose the pounds and become more healthy. "One man's gold is another man's garbage." Somewhere in the mix lies the truth of matters, or at least some sort of compromise, or happy ending. And so, preserving our left overs/ food seems to be more important these days. And I still have some memories and nightmares of little kids hanging around the garbage dump over in Vietnam who would try to jump up on our 2 1/2 trucks to pick through the food that we threw away -- orders from head quarters. Back to Germany, those fine, smart people really know how to cook and serve some of the best tasty, nutritious, food in the world, IMHO. And I was always brave enough to try most kinds of food.
But did you all know... that hot, spicy peppers were used many years ago to 'mask the smell, flavor and taste' of older pieces of meat hanging on a meat hook in the village market place day after day. But the society kept using those spices [like red hot peppers, Cayenne, etc.] as they had the custom, even after they invented refrigeration. But that is just one of the reasons using hot, spicy peppers came into being, from what I have read.
It seems so surprising that we in America could experience a period of time where we lack good meat at the store, for one reason or another, in our rich land!
Warm Regards,
Thomas G Schuckman

We enjoyed our great, grilled meat/ beef steaks, off the Weber grill, and were blessed by the Lord after I retired. ---Tom Schuckman
Thomas,
There is widespread disruption in our food supply. Right now, as many as 3.2 million chickens have been destroyed on farms in just three states (California, Maryland, and Delaware), according to reports. That erases the meat for an estimated 19 million meals from just those three states.
In addition, the three largest packing plants handling pork have closed indefinitely. These locations account for 15% of fresh pork products. In addition, 10 other meat packing plants have closed or significantly reduced hours, according to CNN Business.
Already our meat supply was under significantly lower production than just last year. "Beef processing in the US was down 27%," reported CNN, "and pork processing was down almost 20%" compared to last year’s numbers. Some experts have said that supply shortages of certain meats might hit as early as May 1.
The CEO of Tyson Foods took out full-page ads in the New York Times and other newspapers warning that the "food supply chain is breaking."
Unless things change quickly, cattle owners will destroy the animals that they spent the last two years raising and feeding—and with them the loss of an entire year’s worth of income. Some have already destroyed their cattle because the meat processing plants are closed. Next, they must decide how many animals to breed. That will affect the amount of meat available more than two years from today. Either decision could permanently bankrupt ranchers whose average age is almost 60—and well past having the time and energy to start over. If their livelihood collapses, they will fall from an abundant (multi-million dollar) retirement to near poverty and be entirely dependent on Social Security benefits.
We must free American workers to get back to work, so that our food supply chain can get from these ranches and farms to our tables. Now is the moment to stop the permanent destruction of a way of life that we rely on for our food. Send a fax to demand that Americans regain the freedom to get back to work.

Our food is the one industry that you would think would be the most essential and also the least affected by today’s shutdown. Yet, even food suppliers are starting to crack under the pressure caused by this lockdown.
In fact, this supply chain problem is affecting so much more than just meat—it is affecting fruit, vegetables, and even milk. Dairy Farmers of America had to dump 3.7 million gallons of milk. That’s almost 60 million glasses of milk drained out of the supply line. And while there are efforts to donate when possible to local food banks, this still leaves our food producers penniless for their hours, or even years, of hard work.
Even small deep freezers are completely unavailable at some home improvement stores. Other stores have them back ordered until August. So, those wanting to establish a food back-up plan for their families, are finding themselves limited in how they can prepare. Our nation is quickly slouching toward Venezuela’s poverty levels, and we need to take action now.
Restore jobs to our drivers, farmers, restaurants, and other businesses. Save our struggling economy and the farms and ranches across our nation that we rely on. Join me in demanding that we open up our nation, now.

From day one, Liberty Counsel Action has been raising an alarm about the infringement of our constitutional freedoms and the unintended consequences to our economy. We are researching breaking news and hand picking the policy battles that give us the best path to restore your freedoms. From that information we have picked the top two dozen states that are the worst offenders of trampling on our Constitution, and we set up a way for you to contact them today.
We have staff working overtime through our connections on Capitol Hill and across the nation to help restore freedom. We can only advance good policies, and hold bad politicians accountable, because of your support of our organization.
