A medieval peasant's yard held a cow, a pig, a few hens and a handful of sheep, and almost none of it was ever going to reach his own table.
The hens belonged to the rent. A set number of eggs was owed to the lord every Easter, and a set number of birds every Christmas.
The cow was for milk. The family lived on her skimmed milk, her curds and the cheap green cheese, and sold the butter. Her calf was walked to market every year, because the rent was due in silver and a calf was the only thing in the yard worth any.
The pig could feed in the wood only if the lord was paid a fee per head for the acorns. In November it was killed, and the sides of bacon followed the calf to market. The family kept the head, the trotters and the blood.
The sheep had to spend every night penned on the lord's land, so that their dung fed his fields and not the peasant's.
Off the top of all of it came the tithe. Every 10th lamb, piglet, calf and fleece went to the church, with a tenth of the eggs and milk.
The lord's pigeons ate the seed corn and the lord's rabbits ate the crop. The peasant could touch neither.
And when he died, the lord took the cow and the priest took the next best.
So count the yard again. one cow, one pig, six hens, four sheep. Meat eaten by the family in a year: a pig's head, some offal, and a hen too old to lay.
About 80% of a peasant's calories came from grain. Bread, pottage and ale, three times a day, all his life.
He lived surrounded by meat, and it belonged to other people. He was the unpaid stockman for the diet of his betters.
The vegan lobby calls a plant-based diet the future. The English peasant lived on one for 500 years, and nobody ever asked him.

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...
Audrey Hepburn's famous slenderness, copied by the fashion world for seventy years, was what was left of a girl who had lived through a winter on tulip bulbs.
In the autumn of 1944 she was fifteen, living with her mother in Arnhem and then at her grandfather's house in Velp, while the battle for the Rhine bridges was fought around them. She had been dancing in blacked-out houses to raise money for the Dutch resistance. That winter the German authorities cut off food to the occupied west of the Netherlands, the canals froze, and the cities fell to a few hundred calories a day.
The Dutch call it the Hunger Winter. People ate whatever they could find. Endive, when there was any. Nettles. Bread made from peas. And tulip bulbs, dug up and peeled, the bitter core cut out, ground into a grey flour that one survivor said tasted of sawdust. The government printed recipes for them.
Her son wrote later that she would spend whole days in bed with a book, trying to stop thinking about food.

The Pentagon is investigating suspected cyberattacks after refrigeration systems at U.S. military facilities on six bases switched to defrost mode, spoiling food. Officials are examining whether the incidents are connected to similar attacks targeting refrigeration systems at approximately 100 French supermarkets earlier this month.

They should not have refrigerators or anything connected to Wi-Fi or the Internet… I mean that just seems like common sense
