Long ago my grandfather and I would hope in the old '59 Chevy truck and head to Albertsons. He had worked out a deal with the green grocer there to haul away boxes of "expired" green goods. He would feed this to our chickens as a supplement to their grain diet. It was economical, healthy and saved on GHGs that would have been used to transport the waste or to grow the extra grain the chickens would have eaten in place of the green food. One question though. How does the water supply apply to this? Beef requires a huge amount of water to produce and takes a large toll on the environment in so many ways (I understand this other method could potential decrease some of those degredational effects). Would this not strengthen the movement to increase meat consumption when all scientific data tells us we should be lowering consumption?
