That's what Obama got paid $3.2 million to preach about the evils of protein to the Seed and Chips bullshit

And.. there it is..
Bumble Bee senior vice president Ken Worsham has officially entered into a guilty plea for price-fixing charges, according to a March 15 court filing with the US District Court for the Northern District of California.

Worsham pleads guilty to a charge that he participated in a "conspiracy to suppress and eliminate competition by reaching agreements to fix, raise, and maintain the price of packaged seafood sold in the US from at least 2011 through at least 2013 in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act," the court document states.

"This Plea Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the United States and the defendant concerning the disposition ofthe criminal charge in this case," the document, signed by Worsham and US Department of Justice attorneys, states. "This Plea Agreement cannot be modified except in writing, signed by the United States and the defendant."

Worsham indicated he would plead guilty in December, making him the second executive at Bumble Bee to do so.

He and unnamed co-conspirators agreed to fix the prices of packaged seafood from as early as 2011 until about 2013, the DOJ said in a press release earlier in the trial.

Maybe he's talking about those Swedish metric minutes. ;)
I've been trying to spur the shift to metric. All the clocks in my house are metric.

You can make that yourself by melting down butter, mixing pesto into it, and re-chilling the butter
Just picked up a new stand-mixer for a mother's day gift. I had one years ago, but you know, divorce. All you need is heavy cream to make your own butter, and you can throw in any herbs and spices you want. Melting butter to season it is barbaric. I'm pretty sure the Mongols did that under their saddles. ;)

It's them evil globalists, they want you eating insect protein in the future. Maggot burger anyone?

Nah, in the US, it's the industry groups. The dairy co-ops, for example, just got busted for deliberately killing off cows to drive up milk prices for years in an act of collusion (which is illegal here). They basically created a milk cartel in the US.
Not long ago there was a story in the news about dairies dumping millions of gallons of milk to drive up prices, and I don't remember any mention of it being nefarious. Pissed me off though.

Shit yeah man. We made a few batches last year, using the bread maker. It's not cheap, but the flavor is incredible.
