@benryanwriter Major gaslighting, question avoidance, and fallacy from the one asked the question. He’s definitely a politician. Stacked with he believes in a religion that says it’s okay to lie for his religion to spread, so why should we not consider his words all bullshit anyway.
In 1893 a Norwegian scientist deliberately froze his ship into the Arctic ice, let it drift for three years, and lost not a single man to scurvy or anything else. Then he walked off it and spent nine months in a hole in the ground eating bear.
Fridtjof Nansen was thirty-two, a zoologist with a doctorate on the nervous system of a worm. His theory was that the polar current would carry a ship across the top of the world if the ship was built not to be crushed. He built one. He called it the Fram, took twelve men, and sailed into the pack.
For three years they lived in the dark and the cold with no fresh food arriving from anywhere. On every previous expedition that had meant scurvy, the disease that had killed more sailors than the sea. Nansen's crew had none. They shot polar bear and seal, and ate the meat fresh and barely cooked, as the Inuit did. The doctor on board had almost nothing to do.
In 1895 Nansen and one companion left the ship on skis to make for the Pole. They got further north than any human had been, turned back, and were caught by winter on an empty island. They built a hut of stones and walrus hide, and for nine months they ate bear meat and walrus blubber and nothing else. No vegetable, no grain, no fruit. They came out in the spring fatter than they went in.
Then they walked home.
Nansen went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and lived to 68.
Every schoolchild is taught that a diet without vegetables will rot you from the inside. Two men spent a winter underground on nothing but fat and meat and came out fit to walk across the Arctic, and that was 130 years ago.
A Houston Texans tight end just turned a rundown dairy farm into a cattle operation three miles from home.
Cade Stover bought the old dairy farm in Mansfield, Ohio, down the road from where he grew up.
He is converting it into a beef cattle operation while still playing in the NFL.
Stover wants to sell his own beef through Ohio grocers and eventually ship it directly to customers.

My neighbour Frank, 77, entered a "worst dad joke" competition at his local pub for a $50 prize.
He wasn't worried. He said, "I've been working on mine since 1989."
There were 12 contestants. The first, a lad of about 20, said, "I used to hate facial hair, but then it grew on me." People groaned and clapped. The second told one about a bicycle that couldn't stand up because it was two-tyred. A woman did one about a cheese factory. The groaning was getting heavier.
Then Frank stood up, put down his pint and looked at the judge very seriously. He said, "I'd tell you a joke about construction, but I'm still working on it."
The pub went completely quiet. It was a very good joke...
@therealDeFlock@BestBuy@BestBuySupport Bought an iPod Touch with geek squad warranty from there. Dropped the iPod and screen cracked. Got it back from “repair”. Screen separated from the casing after a week. Defective fix. Told me they couldn’t fix it and I needed to buy another one. Haven’t spent money there since.
