"Rotten" on Netflix
112 2018-02-08 by WarSanchez
Hey guys, I have a pretty good recommendation for you out there that like documentary type shows.
Netflix has an original series called "Rotten" it's all food related, but it is very conspiracy involved. It shows how corporations game the system to ruin small time players.
The two best episodes IMO are "Lawyers, Guns, Honey" and "Garlic Breath".
"Garlic Breath" especially shows the corruption of big business, the way China ruins American industry, forced prison labor, how politics plays a big part on all this and how people can be bought out despite their best intentions (aka everyone has a price).
Warning, the episodes are a little slow, but if you have time to kill and are up for a learning experience with a good amount of conspiracy, I recommend this to you.

Very cool show

I was particularly interested in the honey one, considering the importance of the beehive symbolism in freemasonry. The pope's hat used to be shaped like a beehive. Many buildings around the world are architecturally meant to resemble a beehive, even domed structures like the Capitol Building. I find it strange that these people are just letting the bees die off given their significance to them. Or maybe it's just a symbol to them and they don't give a fuck about the bees.

Thanks I needed a show like this after watching Altered carbon in one day
1 drAsparagus 2018-02-08
All of it? Impressive. I got a couple eps in last night...not bad.
1 of_mendez 2018-02-08
Cant remember last time I binged and it was not anime, so you know its good, the only bad thing about it is the Spanish stereotypes, as a Latin American Its like scratching nails on a board
1 8bitfruy 2018-02-08
Be warned the last episode is really bad, every other episode is incredible but that last one....
1 ogrelin 2018-02-08
It starts getting a bit boring after a bit. I’m on 6-7 now.
1 KingDas 2018-02-08
Epic show!
1 Kind_Of_A_Dick 2018-02-08
I liked the action sequences in the show, for the same reason I like stuff such as Into The Badlands and Banshee.
1 of_mendez 2018-02-08
aaight, will check those too
1 Kind_Of_A_Dick 2018-02-08
Badlands is more martial arts action, due to it being sci-fi, while Banshee is generally just vicious and brutal fight scenes. You can find a few on YouTube.
1 platinum_peter 2018-02-08
Loved the first episode. Watching the 2nd shortly on my flight, and will probably finish the series this weekend as we are due for a foot of snow
1 of_mendez 2018-02-08
good luck, Ive never seen snow and Im like 30

The chicken farming episode is nasty. Put you off chicken or at least make you raise your own.
And the crazy guy killing them all! Serial mass chicken murderer.
1 egbdfaces 2018-02-08
Support a local chicken farmer. Once you taste a good one (not factory raised) you'll never go back. Do you know that most the chicken we eat in the US has literally never seen the light of day???
Better yet, raise your own. Try your hand at 4 week cornish game hens if you want a short commitment. Support a local chicken processor too!
1 toomuchpork 2018-02-08
About 10 years ago I moved onto 5 acres. I have been raising meat and egg chickens, turkeys and pigs for my family for the last few years.
You wouldn't even know home grown pork was from the same animal as store bought pork chops.
Buying proper feed for them is important too. Much of the bird feed has had brutal additives in it, like arsenic for some reason.
1 PathofWraeclast 2018-02-08
The meat from my local butcher is probably a hundred times better than the trash meat at mass market stores. You can even see their beef in the pasture lut back.
1 Unsterder 2018-02-08
Dumb question but I plan on moving to an acerage in the future, too. At the moment I eat about a pound of chicken breast a day. How many chickens do I need to sustain that?
1 sflynx20 2018-02-08
I have 35 chickens but it's mostly for eggs that the kids sell around the neighborhood. It takes a long time to raise a chick to full grown hen...6-9 months based on the breed. You will need a rooster (if allowed in your county) to keep costs low and resupply of new chickens, and you will want fryer hens (for the meat) not any fancy easter egg laying hens. Based on your consumption maybe 100 chickens at a time with backstock constantly in production. But that's based on breast meat alone. Not all the meat. You can reduce the number further...but I know some people who can eat a whole chicken a day. :D
1 Unsterder 2018-02-08
I plan on emigrating to Canada, so I'll have to look into the local laws there. Thanks a lot for the info! Can't wait to leave the city life
1 sflynx20 2018-02-08
good luck!
1 DasBeefcat 2018-02-08
I would think you are going to need a flock of about 30-40. That is a lot to take care of coming from 0. I would recommend starting with about 8 or so, then work your way up from there.
1 toomuchpork 2018-02-08
To tell you the truth... Never weighed them. But they are the biggest roasters youll see in a store.
I raise about 90 a year 30 at a time and my wife and I never run out. Mind you that ain't at a lb each a day
I also clean them myself. I don't have a plucker and have found skinning them is quick and easy. Not the most fun job but it is not too bad. It cost $4 per bird to get them processed at the poultry farm. And they are graded and could be sold then. "Organic" free range chickens go for about $25 (can) up here.
These broiler birds are bred to grow super fast. 7-8 weeks and they are done.
We started raising them before we moved onto the hobby farm too. I made a small pen behind a shed and not one neighbor or knew they were there.
1 egbdfaces 2018-02-08
Try raising 25 meat chickens from a mail order hatchery your first go around. Yes, even the cornish cross are better tasting home raised (and can totally be raised on pasture.) 25 is a good number to see what batch raising is like on a small scale.
Slaughter a few when they reach 2.5 lbs (these will be cornish game hen size) a few at 4, 5, and up to 10lbs. We were surprised to find the smaller chicken size works better for us both in the kitchen and in the field. You are going to want to branch out from just breast or you are going to be up to your ears in chicken legs. Imagine 25 x 5lbs is quite a bit of chicken for your trouble!

I watched this one too. MY eye opener in this episode was that chicken farmers are called NOT farmers but GROWERS. That made me think of the industry and what they do in a different light.
1 toomuchpork 2018-02-08
It has become quite sickening. The way they price them is abhorant. And only going to get worse
1 bluetick_ 2018-02-08
Hmmm that’s an interesting nuance. In the food sourcing world, those who grow commodities such as avocados or blueberries are also referred to as growers, not farmers. So I guess it makes sense when chicken is the commodity.
1 zigsart 2018-02-08
That's interesting- I never heard the term before.
1 Cuppa_Miki 2018-02-08
My dad rescued some chickens that were destined for fast food a couple weeks back. I'll never touch anything but local, authentic free range again.
They were so small and dirty, half their feathers gone. Poor things had never been outside before. They sat in their house for days not realising they could come and go freely.
1 toomuchpork 2018-02-08
I found some egg birds for free on Craigslist.
It was a young woman who's father was sick of taking care of her birds. They had feathers missing and looked like hell.
You know there is a problem when chicken come with "anti-cannibalism" medication!
That was a few years back and they are all dead now. They were not suitable for human consumption but my pitbull though she was in heaven for a few weeks. Getting chicken dinners for a while!

“Saving Capitalism” is very good too
1 zeropoint357 2018-02-08
Cool! Sounds good, I'll give it a try.
1 AdOpsBob 2018-02-08
Dark "the German Stranger Things" is absolutely packed with occult, masonic and similar references.
1 Env3us 2018-02-08
Dirty Money is also pretty good, not so much conspiracies, but shady business tactics for sure.
1 brofistnate 2018-02-08
I had to take a break from that. The level of corruption is nauseating. Still, an excellent show. I'm consistently impressed with the level of truth Netflix spits out. Hell, even the Punisher dabbled in real world scenarios with poppy in Afghanistan, and American death squads. At times I question how they are allowed to do so. Perhaps it's merely the platform didn't exist before, but I feel like TPTB are losing their grip...at least I hope so.
1 Env3us 2018-02-08
I definitely didn’t binge watch it. It does seem like more and more of these corporations are being exposed, but nothing will change until we learn to stand together as people, rather then dividing by race and religion. It’s really sad how they’ve driven us all apart.

Awesome! I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks!

This reminds me of something , that was happening in my country in like 2010-2012 or so.
They tried to pass some legislations to put garlic on the list of psihedelic substances..and therefor to ban it.
It was crazy.
Thing is garlic, is very very used here, from cooking to old tales that it protects from "bad spirits" lol.
This is also where the myth that galric scares vampires away came from hehe.
I'm sorry if this post dosen't relate to your post to much, just a tought that crossed my mind.
1 BoardroomBimmy 2018-02-08
Where do you live?
1 raizen991 2018-02-08
Romania.
And I think,they tried to pass it as something between the lines of "Codex Alimentarius".
I'm not sure if this was the context, I remeber that name because I always liked the sound of latin words, also it was a long time ago, I was very young (as in, didn't really had internet, or any idea about conspiracy theories and such) .
1 mtlotttor 2018-02-08
Netflix are very responsible when it comes to offering content that opens up your eyes.
1 MungoJuice 2018-02-08
Garlic really irritated me. Namely how self proclaimed "Bernie Sanders" local growers, sold out to the large Chinese company that were dumping with the US company Christopher Ranch who essentially ran the governing of the US garlic industry.
1 sflynx20 2018-02-08
I live near Gilroy where CR is. They tried to amass a media campaign to fight it and threatened to sue Netflix. Despite these antics the people here (except for loyal CR people who think business can't do any wrong because they paid for a local high school and other local support) didn't buy it.
1 MungoJuice 2018-02-08
Crazy to think that a major player in the game is also governing the same game. Even wilder was Kristin and Avrum who ended up looking like complete scumbags.
1 AlvinItchyCock 2018-02-08
Lol everything Netflix puts out is deep state approved.
1 WarSanchez 2018-02-08
The specific episode I recommend actually shines a light on how complicit the US Gov is in this.
Also, Netflix has MANY shows critical of the "deep state". You def haven't been watching the right stuff.
Are you still mad about that one show that got everyone one up in arms, "Dear white people" or whatever?
1 egbdfaces 2018-02-08
true. totally a limited hangout/ organized disinfo. Still, no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Just remember, it's so much worse than what they choose to reveal through netflix.
That is the "controlled outrage" they want to foster vs the complete breakout revolution that would come from everyone seeing the whole truth about everything.
