  1. Lol! I can hardly wait until they come to Canada. I hate the rigmarole of handling raw meat and cleaning up after.

    1. Ok, now here I thought it could not get any dumber. Yet there it is, dumber. They need to go live in a Newfie outport.

  2. To (mis)quote Randy Newman …

    “You ask me what I think about the starvin’ Millennials in Britain ?
    I’ll tell you what I think about the starvin’ Millennials in Britain …
    I say … ohhhhhhhhh mammma!”

    Ohhhhhh Mammmmmma …

  3. An effective strategy would be to simply let them starve. Instead, stupidity is being rewarded; so we will get more of it.

  4. “… some of everyday life’s harsher truths, such as the fact that meat may have come from a dead animal. ”

    Er, “may” have come from a dead animal. Does that mean some people are cutting their meat off a live animal? Or that journalists don’t understand the language they are writing?

    1. they may just be pointing out that these snowflakes don’t really know.
      I remember one fella from Peterborough who was a movie set up guy. After on movie they had a BBQ, and went to the supermarket to buy “stuff”, taking along an actress, who had never be in a super market. Yah, some people live sheltered lives, including some who post in here, like you!!!!

  5. If they can’t stand touching raw meat, does that mean they don’t believe in personal hygiene as well? Then again, since they were likely raised by helicopter parents, I guess they don’t ever get dirty, do they?

  6. They’ll eat out rather then risking having to touch their own food yet I’m sure they would claim that organically grown food is safe. Are you also telling me that they would trust some ten buck an hour food worker not to touch food, plates or wrappings. This is a generation not capable of surviving in the real world and the human race would be better off without them.

    1. This is the same generation that doesn’t know how to bake bread but would rather use a machine for that. I’ve been baking my own bread for nearly 40 years and part of the fun is in kneading the dough with my hands.

      I often get an idea of how the loaves might turn out by how the dough feels. If it has the right amount of moisture, the dough should be smooth and uniform in texture, almost flowing through my fingers. If it’s too dry, the dough starts peeling or separating into layers but I usually solve that by adding a bit more water.

      Tell me how a bread machine can do that, millennials.

  7. I should invite these sissies out to the skinning shed where they could skin a mangy lice infested coyote.
    Once they get through that it’s up to the trap shack for moose tartar or carpaccio.

    1. I had an old French Canadian neighbour who used to skin coyotes, pluck chickens and butcher deer in the shed behind his yard. The guy was hilarious. Come spring, the flies arrived to feast on the leftovers in the back lane. One day, the neighbour on the other side of Albert’s skinning shack comes over in total furor and tells Albert that his kids are disgusted at seeing the hordes of flies devouring coyote paws and deer skulls. He looks st the guy and says, in a heavy French Canadian accent::

      “Tabarnac, , your kids, dey are not busy if all dey do is watch flies all day long!”

      God bless free speech.

  8. BTW … I thoroughly rinse all my meat before cooking. Mainly because of the packaging.
    Some cooking “experts” say this is an awful practice … and can actually SPREAD bacteria. Nonsense … unless you live like a P.I.G. and never wash your hands, prep surfaces, or sink. I am rather tidy … and have NEVER cross contaminated anything.

  9. So more packaging material for the landfill? Have them justify that and watch them curl up in the fetal position.

  10. This has got everything to do with laziness and less about icky-ness. What they really need is their mommy.

  11. I would never miss a chance to wash poultry or clean it better than it’s cleaned at the supermarket.
    Millennials, scared of touching raw meat but not too scared to eat raw Tide pods.

  12. I still dont know a lick about field dressing a kill, but am certainly capable and have wanted to do so.
    this generation, jeezuz murphy. at least when the big famine hits, there will be less competition for the crumbs.
    it’s coming, ooooh ya. men will beat each other unconscious for a stale sandwich. we waste what, half a tonne of food a year?
    http://business.financialpost.com/commodities/agriculture/report-finds-canadians-waste-a-lot-of-food-calls-for-action-2

    I grow beans, tomatoes, asparagus, cherries, apples, pears, raspberries, oregano, rhubarb, and something new each year, this year its going to be garlic, a perennial. I also paid a bloke 40 bucks to dump a whole pickup truck of horse manuver in the garden patch 4 yrs ago and am going to do it again.

    it’s coming. worldwide famine and that is NOT a ‘global warming’ thing its an erosion, pestilence, excessive demand, etc thing.

    1. A famine would separate the survivors from the prey quickly. think I’d been fairly adept at survival but you never really know.
      This winter the water line to the trap shack froze. I was without running water for only 4 days. It was a short time but it concentrates your thoughts. Being without water would be equal to being without food.
      I skidded by the 4 days by melting snow. I burn wood so have heat all the time.
      If snow wasn’t available you’d have to do something else. I also have river water available but drinking water is an immediate issue. I have that covered off in my emergency preparedness kit but few people could withstand the power going off for an extended period let alone a food shortage.

      1. Get a hiker’s water filter from an outdoor sports store. They work very well I have drunk water from rather nasty looking rivers after running it through the filter with no ill effects. You don’t even need to boil it.

  13. Asteroid. Did someone say asteroid?

    Huge Asteroid to Give Earth a Very Close Shave on April 19

    Not to worry, it is not a real shave, just a close shave.

    Call it a close shave of a celestial sort.

    On April 19, an asteroid roughly the size of the Rock of Gibraltar will speed safely by Earth at a distance of 1.1 million miles — or less than five times the distance from Earth to the moon.
    NASA says there’s no chance the 2,000-foot-wide space rock will hit our planet. But the flyby — remarkably close by astronomical standards — serves as a reminder that somewhere out there an asteroid may have our name on it.

    1. To paraphrase a line from Robert Heinlein’s novel Starship Troopers, they’ll reproduce by binary fission…. just like any other bacterium.

  14. Not long ago, I pulled into a parking lot and as I was ready to exit my vehicle I glanced over at the next vehicle park to mine. Sitting in the passenger seat of that vehicle was an obvious millennial, as he was adorned with the hipster thick-rimmed glasses, hipster haircut and of course the obligatory Lumberjack beard which no man who has never undertaken a days worth of hard labor should ever be allowed to wear. Seated upon this young man’s lap was a large cross breed dog which was enjoying the attention bestowed upon it while the millennial petted the dog with one hand while he surfed his iPhone with the other (no doubt looking for the best frappe a cappuccino in a very small Saskatchewan town). As I exited my vehicle my eyes were again drawn to this young man, his pet and his distraction of the iPhone, when the most disturbing thought entered into my mind: if at that moment there was a massive failure of our electrical system where all convenience that we’ve become so accustomed to and modern food supply and refrigeration ceased to be for a long period of time, how long would it take for those two creatures to begin to evaluate which one of them becomes food for the other.

    Like it or not at some point Mother Nature will equalize everything again and your self-identity pronouns, your truth, your safe space, your self-imposed victimhood, your trigger warnings and all the privilege that was bestowed upon you by your parents wealth and helicopter parenting will count for nothing as starvation and pestilence will threaten everything you know. Only the fittest Will Survive and Darwin will again be proven right.

  15. Hmmm. I get a certain satisfaction while kneeling at the river, ripping the cold guts from the salmon I’ve just brought in after an epic battle. Weird, eh?
