In the 1950s Portland Cement company produced this film to show how its cement products were making modern farm life cleaner and more efficient. At the same time they created a wonderful capsule history of farm life in America from the Ox driven plows to modern tractors. Beautiful barns, cotton fields, plows, antebellum plantations, covered wagons, the great plains, stagecoaches, riverboats, barns off all kinds, oxen, carriages, harvest wheat with thresher, pitch forks, hoes, blacksmith, Civil War cannon, more horsepower for wagons and threshers, cows, milking, steam powered tractors, a Mercer Raceabout, gasoline powered tractors, big agriculture and shipping of produce in modern 50s America. Hogs, cows, dairy barns and large facilities were popping up and the face of agriculture changed as the family farm started to vanish. Simple log cabins were long gone. S210

The reason Americans are so fat is because of Democrats. Democrats are all for open boarders which leads to rapid expansion of the population and therefor meat and produce has to be pumped out quicker and the use of growth hormones meet those needs. In doing so you have a population of larger people which in turn increases their ability to consume which then increases the need of the farm for even more and quicker output; it's a cycle.
Also, Democrats are all for giving out welfare to people who don't truly need it and paying them to sit around being lazy and pumping out children who are dependent on the Gov't. Not only are they ingesting growth hormones but their Gov't funded, sedentary lives make them fatter as well and it teaches their offspring that living like a leach is a viable way of life. -
