Sunday--So much to do on our day of rest

Facebook post to start the day:

Jon Danniells is about to head out for a morning jog through downtown Chicago. It says its 26F out there. Lake Michigan here I come.





Yes I did go out for a run and it was amazing. So crisp and beautiful. When I got back my girls had breakfast ready.

Then off to the Museum of Science and Industry and a world of propaganda. The whole experience freaked Cindy and me out. It started out with a decent into a coal mine and then went to a happy factory farm.....



Everything was brightly lit in tons of primary colors, with boat loads of propaganda, half-truths and distortions.



Was there a big demand for corn and soy beans before or after the massive surplus after the subsidies?



More cost efficient?




Go on....



Check out the farms on the video cause like polar bears and glaciers they're disappearing



Really?






Pigs actually are quite efficient on there own and if you were to look at the feral pig population you wouldn't find a lot of fatties.




Gtimo for sus



WTF???



Does not mention that cows stomachs don't efficiently process grains, tad of an oversight.



missing the point



making the most of a toxic situation



Making it orange and yellow doesn't change this disturbing stat, "Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together."






Where's the cow?




Enough to make anyone lactose intolerant.

This museum was really not working for me.



They even made the circus seem sucky.

The genetic exhibit was cool but freaky beyond belief.



We travel across the country and one of Skye's favorite exhibits is baby chicks. Something we did in our hallway and garage at home.

We finally realized that none of us were really enjoying this world class museum and left.

I asked Cindy to cruise down Michigan Ave so I could get some cool pics



She did, I didn't.

I did however end the day on a good note...





Local and purchased down stairs, thanks Wholefoods
