Ken Roseboro’s Post

In a Q&A with Greenaway, Twilight, Austin Frerick discusses several of the barons mentioned in his latest book, "Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry," as well as the systemic levers that have allowed food monopolies to thrive.

This video is worth clicking that share button! Christopher Leonard, author of the Meat Racket, discusses the industrialization of farming, monopoly power, and antitrust. American farmers and ranchers are going out of business left and right and our rural communities are being decimated by monopoly control and lack of antitrust enforcement. This is YOUR food supply and our nation’s food security!! Watch the video here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gHAiFrks

#NEBRASKA has 2 things against it, though would otherwise would have been among the best areas for good anti-racism. Those 2 offenses in contempt of the #USA #CIA I still work for are: 1. #OMAHA Nebraska #UNLAWFULLYAIDED the no-good KKK & confederate motivated no-good white supremacist groups known to be in some the USA government & unlawfully computer hacked resulting in communications that said: Cause #OMAHASTEAKS (a #TOPBEST major national food brand sold globally) to lessen quality intentionally in the meat so that the meat is less tender by choosing meat with more marblized looks from more fat & gristle presence in the meat that typically had no marble appearance since that meat was well known by #TOPLEVELCIA to be the #BESTMEAT for being most tender like butter because the meat had no fat & no gristle (& do that degradation of quality without questioning why...just do it). The KKK & no-good confederates did that to make Nebraska (which is good for never being a KKK state nor confederate state) look not good (however, because the basic law of justice includes, but is not limited to, #DUEPROCESS , meaning the legal principle of (in court & out of #COURT ) to give a fair chance to everyone by listening to all sides of everyone's point of view & defense before deciding how to conduct oneself, non-gov. businesses, & government concerning others, rules, regulations, policies, & procedures. It is still, thus, Nebraska's fault along with the fault of Omaha & Omaha Steaks in addition to the greater fault being still on the KKK & confederates that are in some of the Florida, Virginia, & other governments (even perhaps surprising in California & #SOUTHERNCALIFORNIA , unfortunately). Now, my fellow #CIA & I have no #STEAKCOMPANY we can rely on to have #TOPQUALITY as a result. The enemy KKK & confederates try to wrongly twist the #BIBLE #VERSE that says God's people should not complain about not having steak to eat. That is the wrong way to interpret what the #HOLYBIBLE means by that concept found in the #OLDTESTAMENT . 2. #JEFFZELENY ( #CNN #WHITEHOUSE #CORRESPONDENT #NEWSREPORTER & head of that CNN division in the White House building in an office there...next to 1 of the places inside the White House where I worked in 2022) & #ZELENY 's family (some in Nebraska) were not reunited with me in person this year, so my fellow gov. there is in contempt. These are main reasons Nebraska was hit with severe adverse weather.

📢 Good food colleagues! We’re closer than ever to passing the Good Food NY bill and urgently need to support our legislative partners to get it to the floor for a vote. We are eager to build a food system and supply chain that reflects our values, but session is almost over and the bill has not yet passed both chambers. Every year, millions in public dollars are going to "lowest bidder" food contracts in New York State. #GoodFoodNY would shift this to support local communities—smaller and mid-sized food operations, food workers, farmers, animals, and the planet. As @Madeline Janis recently stated at the first-ever Federal Good Food Purchasing Summit, “There is no reason why every dollar we spend in this country cannot result in good jobs, equity, and expression of our values—as well as a good, high quality product that builds local communities.” We agree! New York State is ready to put its $$ where its values are thanks to sponsors @Crystal Peoples-Stokes, @Michelle Hinchey, and @Liz Krueger. Join us to put some heat on to move this bill to the floor for a vote before session ends! bit.ly/GoodFoodNYactions

this was such a powerful session. At Food Ethics Council we talk a lot about how there is no such thing as 'cheap food'. The cost always, always has to be paid somewhere. By embracing #FoodCitizenship we can connect ourselves and our communities with our power in the food system, even when (especially when!) it feels like we don't have any. We all have worth, and we all have power. Lets figure out together how to use it.

How did our food systems become overrun by the modern monopolies we see today? FoodPrint interviewed @AustinFrerick author of "Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry" to learn more. How did power enter the hands of those who wield it today, and what should be the future of U.S. food policy? Click to read the full article >>> https://lnkd.in/gd5-Zzg3

I would like to see the UN provide more grants to sustainable business in order for the business to grow, hire more employees; and/or deliver higher returns to investors. Hopefully, this would add more disposable income to the purchase of food. This increase in disposable income, would allow more spending on food, food prices will rise, which would lead to more food suppliers competing for consumer disposable income. These new suppliers will compete with each other by lowering prices on like kind products. With lower prices, more people can afford more food.
