Define Happiness

Happy cows come from California? Seriously, I can’t be the only one around here who finds this slightly absurd. It’s one thing to air that commercial on the west coast and surrounding areas. But here? Right next to the beating heart of “America’s Dairyland”? Apparently the marketing genius behind that ad campaign has not heard of Wisconsin. They must stick their head under a seaside rock when the close up of a Wisconsin license plate is magnified about a thousand times in “That 70’s Show” reruns. Clearly California has some nice things about it, but “Happy cows come from California.” is a bald faced lie. Do they have cheese huts every 5 feet? I think not. Do cows thrive in sand dunes? Nope. They are blissful in dells and pastures. Everyone knows that Dairy Queen’s roots are in the Midwest, not Napa Valley. California has enough. Now they are trying to abscond with our dairy business? Hey! California! You have wonderful wine and dancing raisins! You have Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world! You have Oxnard (seriously, who names a town Oxnard – an under-tapped resource for jokes if you ask me), famous for artichoke production! You have Disneyland! Fine, go ahead and have your own cows, but keep your attempts to monopolize milk consumers to your own crumbling corner
of the world! Let us have our dairy foothold, for Pete’s sake. What next? Elbow Georgia out of peaches and peanuts? Bump Vermont out of the maple syrup industry? Whew… Okay, I’m done. I just had to get that off of my chest, now I feel better. I’ve found that letting go of anger minimizes wrinkles and prevents ulcers. Define your happiness, speak your truth, be ulcer-free, support local farmers! - Peace
