“We’re fat Americans and we play with our food.” And tax payers get to fund subsidies while these people make money playing with their food. What a racket.

Obscene waste of food imo

Hey SwiftOnSecurity!

Raj_pig if the hemps fail we’ve always got this 😂

Potatoe gun. Nothing new. We had those 20 years ago! I still have mine.
