ROCHESTER, MN—Hailing it as the best-tasting and most satisfying such product on the market, vegetarian food manufacturer Greenwood Farms unveiled a more realistic meat substitute Friday made from soy raised in brutally cruel conditions.
For people that don’t have context…I know farmers that irrigate (water) their beans. But a lot of smart farmers don’t irrigate right away! They want the soybean plant to establish, to set up down roots in the soil (in search of water). They allow the plants to struggle. Then, when they feel the time is right, they say, “Alright, let them have it.” And shower them with water as needed.
If this isn’t done, the farmer risks creating a bunch of soybean plants that aren’t firmly rooted in the soil.
It’s similar to people in life; whether they realize it or not, they need struggle & adversity in order to fully develop properly. We can identify people that are soft & coddled, that don’t know how to work. Now more than ever. They’re ill-suited for life. Perhaps shielding them from every real pain, struggle, adversity seemed like a kindness, but in the end it tends to be a disservice.
There is, just a little. 🙂
