Well received comments Chuck…rest assured, Minnesotans are still very nice and that’s a badge of honor. I venture to guess the bulk of demonstrators/agitators/freedom fighters aren’t Minnesotans, particularly the most virulent. It’s unfortunate your culture has been taken advantage of but I’m not sure it would be possible in other places. You’re correct about Texas, we wouldn’t have this. We’re also extremely nice and ready to help but our culture is to be less trusting until folks prove themselves.

Chuck Marohn reflects on what it means to say, “I am a Minnesotan,” in the current political moment.

#KnowYourProducer I gave a talk about food sovereignty the other evening…here’s a 10 point summary: 1. The modern US food system sucks 2. The plant-based agenda is rooted in eugenics and discouraging procreation. 3. The modern supermarket system is less than 100 years old, prior to this we personally knew the butcher, baked our own bread and grew our own veggies and eggs 4. We’ve outsourced our food relationship to the government 5. USDA/FDA and Congress has been co-opted by Big Ag/Big Food 6. Business operates on a profit motive (as it should) 7. Cheap, low quality inputs means higher profits 8. Convenience foods are more shelf stable and profitable. 9. Big Food/Big Ag don’t really care about you 10. The government is incentivized to have an unhealthy population Bonus: I find it interesting to have a pharmacy in a grocery store. Conclusion: ‘Trusted third parties’ cannot be (duh). #knowyourproducer
