Our waiter gave friendly help, but his appearance goes to tell the level that wait staff have fallen to in our restaurants these days. If they show up and do the job, apparently appearance isn't that important! And if he's the son of the owner, or someone important, my comment still stands...hair is supposed to be in a net for food service!
Farm Animal Awareness week:
Meanwhile, there are independent farmers and ranchers raising animals on pasture with significantly better animal welfare and environmental outcomes, but these producers are drowning in a consolidated market flooded with cheap factory-farmed products that have been bankrolled by the government through subsidies and bailouts. As a result, the number of farms across the country is going down while the number of animals on the remaining operations continues to go up.
According to the USDA Agriculture Census, in 1950, there were 5.6 million farms raising 100 million farm animals—but in 2017, there were two million farms raising 9.32 billion farm animals. This rapid consolidation has dire consequences for animal welfare, responsible farmers and ranchers, rural economies, the environment, and public health.
(Just think about those numbers, less than half as many farms.)

Pizza, yum. My favorite food is pizza. Take care, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool to know about you!
Delete...interesting observation about the staff.
ReplyDeleteIt was ok, and maybe I am just being a bit "bitchy" which can happen!
DeleteCould you pass me a slice of that pizza for breakfast? No, I really wouldn’t do it now, but there was a time. 🥸
ReplyDeleteMine was so good I ate my 3 leftover pieces for dinner. It just had mozzarella and roasted garlic and basil on it.
DeleteI love your goldenrod header.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt is sad that small farms are disappearing.
ReplyDeleteI need to remember to go to the Tailgate Market on Sat. and purchase from local farmers...they offer organic things, and they are much fresher than at a grocery store. But the prices are pretty high. But I need to think that I'm buying more than just a tomato...it keeps that farmer in business!
DeleteIt does mean a hot oven, but today is the official beginning of fall!
ReplyDeleteI feel like some pizza now, but am just finishing dinner.
ReplyDeleteI love pizza! No servers here wear hair nets. The cooks are probably required to, but not the servers.
