when dining out in NH, that 'Farm-to-Table' thing would now require some serious due diligence along with your salad..🥗

No one wants to eat uninspected food. This is a nightmare!

our legislators are taking that "Live Free or Die' thing to new levels..🙄

most atheists I know think for themselves and make decisions based upon rational proven facts rather than on what some invisible friends might whisper in their ears.

their morality is innate. it simply is.

When Donny strikes up the band • New Hampshire Bulletin In the symphony that is modern American conservatism, harmony is the enemy.

What does New Hampshire Republicans' renewed attack on the Office of Health Access (formerly the Office of Health Equity) reveal about this political moment in America? Just about everything. #NHPolitics

I suppose that next our children will be taught that "e pluribus unum", out of many, one, doesn't mean what Franklin & Jefferson proposed: that from different & diverse states, we can unite to become one nation.

rather it may become: we will cast out any who are different until everyone complies.

NH pols want to put money into the economy using cuts in regulations as funding. that might sound reasonable on the surface but it directs those benefits to just a few businesses rather than adding any cash to the general budget.

not to forget the health risks involved which ARE dispersed to all.

I've stopped shopping in Salem entirely even if it means I have to go a longer way. If NH wants to turn into Mississippi they'll do it without a sibgle dollar from me. I'd rather pay sales tax and be safe. Hell, I think we should put up tool booths on so they pay for the roads they use to work in MA

me too! have a great week!

Donny didn’t just embarrass himself — he humiliated the entire country. Mohammed bin Salman should have never been allowed to set foot in the Oval Bordello — because, as everyone well knows, MBS is the winner of the Nobel Chopped ’Em Up Real Good Prize.

WHY WAS THE CROWN PRINCE OF BONE SAW ARABIA IN THE OVAL OFFICE YESTERDAY? IT'S BECAUSE DONNY IS A GREEDY ASSHOLE WHO WANTS TO BUILD A FUGLY GOLDEN TOWER IN RIYADH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY TREMENDOUS POST. BIG STRONG READERS ASK ME SIR! HOW DO YOU DO IT! SIR! LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/47RIGXa

you are indeed a detail person, my friend. this is so salty/sour and now I want one.🍹

Thinking more broadly – not to undermine the serious issue of unregulated meat, but

How is HB396 to allow “the in-state sale of certain meat”?
Tell me how New Hampshire meat is going to stay in NH?
Come on, stores in CT, MA and VT sell NH meat.

I guess we’re supposed to trust every farmer?

indeed. the bordering states can pass regulations, I suppose..

but people are people.

I hear that. meat is a rare treat for me, not a staple of my diet.

Thanks so much, Wren. I appreciate you taking the time to say so.

I always look for details in art and photography..the textures just pop for me.

nope; not me!

Un f’ing believable

IKR!? geez...

I love my local farm stand and actually trust them quite a bit..

but I won't eat unregulated meat.

Disgusting to think to deregulate beef, pork, and chicken. A line needs to be drawn. Tainted meat means lawsuits and possible death to “customers.” Unreal.

I repeat my WTAF, NH?

the 'farmers are good people' theme (they are inherently altruistic so we should just trust them) collides quite early with the 'farmers are desperate to save their business' reality.

someone brought this issue to the politicians & it wasn't folks shopping at Aldi.

oh wow! I love this. thanks for sharing.💜

Despite safety and liability concerns, lawmakers push to deregulate NH meat processing State lawmakers passed a bill to deregulate New Hampshire’s meat market, which they acknowledge could defy federal food safety laws and carry risks for farmers and consumers.

WTAF, #NewHampshire?

the argument that allowing farmers to process their own meat without FDA inspection will increase sales & profit ignores the fact that people don't want to risk eating potentially tainted meat.. that's less money, NH farmers, not more.
