Sometimes. You cannot go to a store and buy the freshest, most mouth watering and delicious fruits because they cannot handle being shipped even locally.

A warm, juicy peach right off the tree is an amazing experience.

Also, you know 100% of what what was and what wasn't done to your stuff.

That said, I don't have the time or will to grow all my own veggies that I like daily.

I can, however make enough other stuff that's saleable so I can afford fresh veg year round.

This is no joke.

2 kids were killed in Forest Grove, Oregon hiding in a leaf pile on the edge of the road to surprise dad when Dad came back outside but instead were run over by teens deciding to drive the the leaf piles...

Tragic AF

A lot but the problem is not that, it's keeping it limited to 8km

Uh gee, for starters don't go around broadcasting that you're not home. Watching your stuff. Do you want property theft? Because that's how you get property theft! You can brag and selectively post all the highlights and none of the lowlights when you're back if you think that you need that to feel better about yourself.

Agreed, but also, maybe someone should prove or disprove those newer ingredients pronto

Quotes from Ingrid Newkirk. The PETA "shelters" have frequently been found to euthanasia oriented with little effort put into re-homing.

"Pet ownership is slavery. Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or be entertained by."

https://quotefancy.com/ingrid-newkirk-quotes#:~:text=%E2%80%9CPet%20ownership%20is%20an%20absolutely,brought%20about%20by%20human%20manipulation.%E2%80%9D&text=17.

What PETA has said, and what they have done, are often not the same.

People who support the ethical treatment of animals and veganism often don't know and even more often don't want to know about the skeletons in the closet, and would usually be unsupportive of such acts.

Extremism happens.

No no no look not regular vegans. PETA vegans.

You know, the ones that think cats and dogs would be better off dead than as pets. If you're feeling too upbeat go ahead and Bing it.

Has the idea been disproven? I remember well the various flipflopping about toddlers and peanuts

What's wild to me is that this the life that baby dinosaur grew up to be. AGAIN
